Interpreted documentation change

What the vendor announced

The evidence reflects an updated deprecation notice for GPT Image models, moving the shutdown replacement guidance from a prior replacement (gpt-image-2) to newer replacements: gpt-image-2.5-sunburst or gpt-image-2.5-flare, with the same shutdown date of December 1, 2026. The change expands possible replacements and aligns with a newer generation. Transition targets now include two options per deprecated model.

On June 2, 2026, we notified developers using older GPT Image models of their deprecation and removal from the API on December 1, 2026. Shutdown date Model / system Recommended replacement Dec 1, 2026 gpt-image-1-mini gpt-image-2.5-sunburst or gpt-image-2.5-flare Dec 1, 2026 gpt-image-1.5 gpt-image-2.5-sunburst or gpt-image-2.5-flare Dec 1, 2026 chatgpt-image-latest gpt-image-2.5-sunburst or gpt-image-2.5-flare
