AIVideoFree, an AI video and image generation platform based in Singapore, has integrated GPT Image 2.6, the image generation model OpenAI released on November 4, 2026. Both versions of the model, Sunburst and Flare, are now available on the platform next to other image models, including GPT Image 2.5 and Nano Banana 2.1. According to OpenAI, GPT Image 2.6 generates images about 50% faster than its predecessor; Sunburst is tuned for output quality and designed to keep details consistent across repeated edits, while Flare is tuned for speed and can return an image in about six seconds. On the day of release, DesignArena reported that Sunburst had moved to first place on its Image Arena leaderboard, ahead of the previous GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. To test how the new model handles text inside images, AIVideoFree ran the same prompt through both GPT Image 2.6 versions and other models on its platform, asking for a 3D-animated kitten in a Christmas setting with the French phrase “Merci pour ton inscription” rendered as calligraphic lettering at the top. CEO Roger said running the same prompt through several models is the most practical way to see where a new model improves, and AIVideoFree plans to continue adding major image and video models as they are released and to publish comparison data.
