# GPT Image 2.5: sharper, and a quarter of the cost

_Release #065, September 8, 2026. Agent smarts, Billing_

Viktor's default image model is now GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, with a faster Flare option, at about a quarter of the old cost.

- **Sunburst by default.** Sharper detail, better likeness to your reference photos, and edits that touch only what you asked.
- **Flare for quick drafts.** Same price, a few seconds faster, for throwaways and rough ideas.
- **Way cheaper.** Each image costs about a quarter of before. Skill covers drop from 40 credits to 12.
