OpenAI is testing a new image generation model unofficially named Images 2.0 with select ChatGPT users. The model accurately renders text within images to address a primary weakness in AI synthesis. The model demonstrates enhanced photorealism. It also creates detailed screenshots.
The update intensifies competition against rivals Google and Adobe. This follows Microsoft, OpenAI's primary partner, releasing its own suite of competing AI models.
OpenAI has not officially confirmed a release date. The model has appeared in A/B tests and leaderboards. A livestream announcement is anticipated on April 21, 2026.
