ChatGPT Is Getting a GIF Maker Powered by OpenAI's Unannounced Images 2.6 Model

OpenAI is adding animated GIF creation to ChatGPT, with frame-by-frame editing and speed controls. The feature is powered by an as-yet-unannounced image generation model, identified as Images 2.6, which has not been formally revealed by the company.

The addition marks a step toward lightweight animation tooling directly inside a consumer AI chatbot, potentially lowering the barrier for short-form and social media content creators who need quick animated assets without dedicated software.
