OpenAI Releases Images 2.6 Enabling Native GIF Generation in ChatGPT
OpenAI has released the Images 2.6 model, enabling ChatGPT to generate animated GIFs directly from prompts or uploaded photos. The update also improves generation speed and allows users to adjust playback rates and edit frames individually, rolling out across all platforms.

ChatGPT can now create GIFs using a prompt or a photo uploaded to the AI chatbot. The update, which is rolling out alongside OpenAI’s new Images 2.6 model, allows you to adjust the GIF’s animation speed, edit individual frames, and share it with others.
Before this change, ChatGPT couldn’t natively generate GIFs in a single step. An example shared by the company shows how ChatGPT can generate a GIF in response to the prompt, “can you make a gif of a cat dancing?,” while also providing you with the option to change the playback speed and view it frame-by-frame.

Along with support for GIF-making, OpenAI says the Images 2.6 update also enables faster image generation in ChatGPT. The company says users now generate over 4 billion images per week across ChatGPT and its API, a jump from the 3 billion per week it reported in September.
