About MAI Image 2.7
MAI Image 2.7 is Microsoft AI’s image-editing model for making targeted changes to existing images while preserving their broader composition. It can restyle or relight a scene, move objects into new settings, revise text and symbols in images, and restore or enhance visual assets. It is aimed at creators and others who need to refine images without rebuilding an entire scene. Preview access is available through MAI Playground, Arena, and Artificial Analysis. The initial preview focuses on image editing, with text-to-image generation planned for a later release. Example uses include changing a product scene, modifying an image’s mood, and making selective edits to individual objects.

GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst
GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst is an image-generation and editing model available through the OpenAI API. Developers can send text prompts and image inputs to generate new visuals or revise existing images, and can select quality levels ranging from low to max. The model is intended for workflows that need precise edits, including campaign creative and polished product imagery. It can be called through the Images API for direct image creation and editing, or as the image-generation tool in the Responses API.

FLUX 3
FLUX 3 is a multimodal foundation model that jointly learns from images, video, and audio within one unified architecture, building a representation of how objects hold together, how things move, and how events sound. Built on the Self-Flow approach, it aligns multimodal generation and understanding in the same backbone so each modality constrains the others, sound matches impact, motion follows physical properties, and future events follow from the past. FLUX 3 can mix modalities and jointly generate images, video, and native audio from text prompts or references such as images, video, and audio. Its video capabilities include text-to-video, image-to-video animation, video-to-video transformation, generative video-and-audio continuation, keyframe-controlled transitions, multilingual dialogue, animated typography, diverse styles and aspect ratios, and agentic chaining into longer multi-shot sequences.

OpenAI positions Flare for fast, everyday image generation, while its GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst model is intended for workflows prioritizing precise editing. The model is designed for developers and organizations adding image creation or editing to their own applications. Access requires API credentials, and usage is billed by tokens, with rates depending on text or image input, image output, and standard or batch processing.
