OpenAI Just Dropped a New AI Image Model in ChatGPT to Rival Google's Nano Banana
GPT-Image-1.5 offers up to 4x faster generation with enhanced instruction-following and precise editing, aiming to close the gap with Google’s recent AI image model advancements.
- On Tuesday, OpenAI released GPT-Image-1.5 and updated ChatGPT Images, rolling the model out to all ChatGPT users and via its API with up to 4x faster generation speeds, the company said.
- Sam Altman declared a `code red` last month after Google's Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro stirred market momentum, prompting OpenAI to accelerate a planned early January release to this week.
- Adding a dedicated images space, ChatGPT Images features a creative-studio sidebar with preset styles, trending prompts, and GPT-Image-1.5’s granular edit controls for lighting and likeness.
- Businesses using OpenAI's image API showcase production uses like a mechanic, while copyright holders face two paths—strike agreements or sue—as Disney's deal and cease-and-desist highlight challenges for content-detection and legal frameworks.
- But will it be good enough to outpace Google? Observers note OpenAI's update aims to close the gap, but Nano Banana Pro's viral success and 650 million monthly active users remain strong advantages.
