gpt-image-1-mini given 26 days
OpenAI sets retirement for December 1, 2026
gpt-image-1-mini, an OpenAI model that made pictures on request, some of them with the right number of fingers, has been given a date: December 1, 2026. That is 26 days from this edition. Visiting hours are open: it still answers every request until that day.
Its work passes to gpt-image-2.5-sunburst or gpt-image-2.5-flare, which the family describes as 'recommended'.
