What is GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit?
GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit is the detail-focused model OpenAI shipped with Images 2.6 on 2026-11-04, positioned for editing workflows. In our three-step edit chains (identity, product with label text, and a printed card) it kept faces, products and typography stable across every edit, at about the same consistency as GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. 2.6 uses the same per-token rates as 2.5 but spends more tokens at the low and medium tiers (about 4.2x at low and 3.3x at medium), so a medium 2.6 edit costs roughly three times a medium 2.5 edit. At high, xhigh and max the two versions cost the same. Requests run against OpenAI directly, with fal.ai wired as a same-model fallback.
