OpenAI has introduced the Sketch feature, allowing users to create doodles directly within the chat interface. By typing @Sketch, a drawing window opens, which the AI can then transform into a detailed image based on the following instructions.

The update also introduces the ability to leave comments on specific parts of an image to request changes. For example, the user can highlight a certain area and specify a change in color, such as changing a cat's eyes from green to blue.

ChatGPT Images 2.5 is designed to provide more natural lighting and richer textures in generated images. The system is now more effective at following editing instructions over multiple turns of interaction.

According to OpenAI, image generation latency has been reduced by up to 50% compared to the previous Images 2.0 version. The update is available for ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex users across desktop, mobile, and web platforms.
