GPT-Image-2.6 Outputs SVG and GIFs. Unlike 2.5, You Can't Run It Through Batch

OpenAI released GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst and GPT-Image-2.6 Flare, introducing SVG generation, animated GIF output, and a new complexity setting. The Flare model supports image generation and edit endpoints, delivering results in as little as 6 seconds. While the previous 2.5 Flare version supported Batch, the new 2.6 models are currently marked as unsupported for OpenAI's Batch API. These updates expand creative capabilities through markup edits and faster API generation for developers using these specific image models.
