It can keep the image sharp and consistent in between generations, giving you the ability to make additional edits to any image of your liking.

The example they gave was asking the model to generate an organizational chart of a public company based on a template.

And yet, if Prinz was thinking about general knowledge worker and enterprise usage, where other people went was much more focused on one specific use case.

Mark Kretschmann writes, Some of you were disappointed that we only, quote-unquote, get an image model from OpenAI today, but you need to see the big picture.

GPT-Image2 can generate mockups of websites, which Codex can then turn straight into working code.

Choi Arakes goes farther with this, saying, The Codex plus GPT-Image2 pipeline is completely broken.

This is the single most disruptive AI workflow I've seen this year.

Stop thinking of AI as just a text generator.

The real magic happens when you chain the models together.

Now, Image 2 is coming into a moment when OpenAI has just also announced that there are now 4 million Codex users up from about 200,000 at the beginning of the year.

And already less than 24 hours into this, we are seeing people sharing all of their production pipelines from Image 2 UI to Codex.

Peter Gostev from Arena writes, GPT image 2 plus codecs or how to make codecs not suck at UI.

Step one, generate a UI image.

Step two, get codecs to implement the UI based on it.

Step three, get codecs to iterate until it aligns with the image as much as possible.

Codecs is bad at initial UI, but very good at implementing a reference design, so this is your way out.

Iterate with the image model first and then codecs will do a good job.

In many if not most people's estimation, Codex's biggest limitation has been UI.

It's certainly one of the reasons for me that Cloud Code has remained my primary driver.

And although they are obviously different products, I don't think it's unreasonable to compare the combination of the new Codex app plus GPT Image 2 with the new Cloud Design feature released by Anthropic.
