Overview for yir

GPT Image 2.6 is available on OpenAny in two versions. Start with Flare to draft product images and posters or try several compositions. Try Sunburst at medium or high quality when you need to preserve a character, product, or brand detail across multiple edits. The yir route for each model supports text-to-image, image-to-image, and text-to-GIF. OpenAI release notes · Flare on OpenAny · Sunburst on OpenAny

Two posters from the same prompt

Streetwear poster for Thread generated with FlareStreetwear poster for Thread generated with Sunburst

OpenAI generated both posters from the same prompt at 1024×1536 and medium quality. Flare is on the left and Sunburst is on the right. The brief calls for a group of friends in an ad for the streetwear brand Thread, with the line “Yours to Create.” appearing once. Check the spelling, whether the line appears more than once, and whether it overlaps anyone in the scene. OpenAI poster examples and full prompt

Quickstart

In the Flare Playground, select the yir route and Text to GIF (512×512). Use the request below to generate a looping paper pinwheel. Check that the camera stays still and the last frame leads smoothly back to the first. To compare the models, keep the settings and change model to gpt-image-2.6-sunburst.

Send a POST request to https://api.openany.si/v1/images with the header Authorization: Bearer $OPENANY_API_KEY.

Frequently asked questions

Can I animate a photo as a GIF? The GIF mode on these two OpenAny routes takes a text prompt. Use the reference image input for still images.

Can I export SVG? OpenAI's own API supports SVG. The OpenAny routes covered here offer still images and GIFs. OpenAI API capabilities

Model API questions

How do I call GPT Image 2.6 Flare through OpenAny?

Use model ID gpt-image-2.6-flare with an OpenAny key and the operation published in this model's API tab. The model API base is https://api.openany.si/v1. Confirm the protocol and request schema; model availability does not imply every OpenAI API operation is supported.

How is GPT Image 2.6 Flare billed?

Compare the published rate and billing unit of the selected provider route. Input, output and cache token rates may differ. Image, audio and video models can use other units. Recorded usage determines the charge under that route's billing contract.

Are Community and Verified routes the same as an official publisher API?

No. Inspect the provider name and supply classification for the specific route. A marketplace listing or a supply label is not a claim of publisher endorsement, identical service or measured uptime. Different route prices may reflect different supply and conditions.

Where do these prices come from, and when were they updated?

Rates come from the provider routes in OpenAny's public model catalog, not an independent quote from the model publisher. The catalog does not supply a price update timestamp. A page or catalog snapshot date is not a price revision date. Compare supply, billing units, tiers and conditions; a lower listed rate alone does not establish equivalent service or explain the price difference.
