OpenAI releases more realistic Images 2.5 models with deepfake safeguards

OpenAI released GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst across ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API. The system card says greater realism can enable more convincing political, sexual, and sensitive deepfakes, while layered filters, C2PA metadata, and invisible watermarking mitigate misuse.
