ChatGPT Is Getting a GIF Maker Powered by OpenAI’s Unannounced Images 2.6 Model

OpenAI is reportedly rolling out a ChatGPT feature that creates animated GIFs from written prompts or uploaded photos. It would bring simple motion generation directly into ChatGPT, though availability appears gradual and the company has not announced when all users will get access.

The feature is said to use Images 2.6, an unannounced model also reportedly coming to ChatGPT and Codex on web, desktop and mobile. Users can adjust playback speed, inspect frames, edit and share GIFs; developers are reportedly getting two API models, one focused on speed and the other on quality. The article says the feature was unavailable during its own testing, and OpenAI has not published detailed specifications or independently confirmed performance.
