OpenAI releases new image generation model with complex capabilities

ChatGPT Images 2.0 marks a big leap forward in image generation as OpenAI seeks to distinguish its features from Anthropic’s Claude.

OpenAI just released a major upgrade to ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities with ChatGPT Images 2.0. Powered by its new GPT Image 2 model, the image generation tool operates similar to earlier image generation features, turning a text prompt into an image. But the new tool goes a step further, allowing more varied styles and more complex instructions by performing research to synthesize into the final output, much like ChatGPT’s reasoning and “thinking” features.

Users can generate multiple images from one prompt, and can produce very realistic images that don’t look as AI-generated as previous versions.

The tool can generate images at different aspect ratios and can assemble complex design layouts and infographics. Text generation has been also improved, which has traditionally been a weak spot for AI image generators.

Last week, Anthropic released Claude Design, a tool that can also generate complex layouts, designs, and interfaces, which tanked shares of Figma. OpenAI’s announcement did not move shares of Figma, or Adobe.

Report: Google DeepMind builds “strike team” to catch up to Anthropic models

Anthropic’s recent momentum, powered by the success of its popular Claude Code tool, is turning up the heat among its AI competitors — not only for its AI startup peer OpenAI, but also with established Big Tech giants like Google.

The Information reports that within Google DeepMind, a “strike team” has been assembled to make a serious push to improve Gemini’s coding capabilities. According to the report, leaders within Google, including cofounder Sergey Brin, are sounding the alarm after determining that Anthropic’s Claude has superior coding skills. The new team’s goal is to create a AI system that can improve itself.

“To win the final sprint, we must urgently bridge the gap in agentic execution and turn our models into primary developers,” Brin wrote in a recent memo to DeepMind staff.

Tesla’s federal tax bill last year was once again $0, Reuters reports. While past losses and green energy credits helped shrink the bill, Reuters found that Tesla also leaned on a classic corporate maneuver: offshore profit-shifting. By routing intellectual property rights through paper-only subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Singapore, Tesla effectively parked $18 billion in profits overseas between 2023 and early 2025. The entirely legal setup saved Tesla an estimated $400 million in US taxes. Not bad for a company whose CEO is not a fan of “shady” tax loopholes.
