GPT Image
OpenAI's image generation model, available in ChatGPT and through the OpenAI API.
ChatGPT was the first AI tool I ever used, same as most people. I ran a ton of copywriting, code snippets, and web development work through it, and voice mode when it first launched was the thing that got me taking any of this seriously. Then I moved into the Claude and Anthropic ecosystem and never really moved back.
The one place OpenAI is still clearly the best thing available is image generation. When ChatGPT Images 2.0 came out it was an obvious jump, and you can tell the difference immediately just by looking at the output next to anything else. I use it through the API, the gpt-image-2 model, to generate thumbnails and other images inside my pipelines. I’m not really opening ChatGPT for conversation anymore, so the image model is the whole relationship now.
