GPT Image 2 Status is the canonical resource for OpenAI’s image-generation model: where it’s live (API, ChatGPT tiers, regions), how much it costs vs. competing models, and what’s still rolling out wave-by-wave. Every showcase image on the homepage was generated by GPT Image 2 itself — press cover, benchmark chart, analog clock, rollout map — so visitors see the model’s real text-rendering and visual fidelity in one scroll. There’s also a free playground for hands-on testing without an OpenAI key, plus a comparison table against Nano Banana 2, Seedream 4, DALL-E 3, and Midjourney v7.
