OpenAI’s updated image generator can now pull information from the web ↗

OpenAI announced ChatGPT Images 2.0, an updated image generator with new thinking capabilities that can search the web to create multiple images from a single prompt. The new version, powered by GPT Image 2, offers improvements in following instructions, preserving details, and generating text within images, available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscribers. The thinking model feature enables the image generator to pull web information to enhance image creation sophistication.

When a thinking model is selected, the chatbot's image generator can pull information from the web, create visual explainers based on files you upload, and "reason through the structure of the image before generating."

ChatGPT Images 2.0 can also create up to eight images at once with thinking enabled, all while maintaining the same characters, objects, and styles in each scene.
