OpenAI's ChatGPT Images 2.0 generates multi-image sets and non-English text

OpenAI has released ChatGPT Images 2.0, a significant upgrade that moves beyond single-image generation. The model can now produce multiple, related images from a single prompt—such as an entire study booklet—and render text directly within images, including in non-English languages like Chinese and Hindi. Leveraging ChatGPT's reasoning capabilities, it can search the internet for recent information, thanks to a December 2025 knowledge cutoff date, making outputs more granular and context-aware. For example, it can generate a detailed infographic with a local weather forecast and suggested activities, complete with accurate landmarks.

Initial tests show marked improvement in text rendering, a previous weakness for AI image models. While English text outputs are cleaner and more complex, performance in other languages is still evolving; the model itself critiqued its own Chinese text output as containing 'semi-gibberish' and malformed characters. The release also introduces greater user control, allowing for customizable aspect ratios from 3:1 wide to 1:3 tall. This global rollout, with a premium tier for paying users, aims to boost engagement by enabling more creative and structured visual content, potentially sparking new social media trends.
