[Core Function] GPT Image 2.5 Flare Edit is a speed-oriented image editing model. [Strengths] Supports up to 16 input images, optional mask-based local edits, resolution tiers up to 4K, and transparent backgrounds. [Best For] Product image changes, masked object replacements, and edits guided by multiple reference images. [Limitations] Do NOT use this for editing more than 16 input images or selecting arbitrary pixel dimensions. Exact input fidelity control is not exposed. [Routing] Choose this variant when speed is the priority; use GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit when image quality is the priority.
[Core Function] GPT Image 2.5 Flare is a speed-oriented text-to-image generation model. [Strengths] Supports ten aspect ratios, resolution tiers up to 4K, and transparent backgrounds. [Best For] Landscape illustrations, product posters, and transparent icons. [Limitations] Do NOT use this for editing an existing image or selecting arbitrary pixel dimensions. [Routing] Choose this variant when speed is the priority; use GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst when image quality is the priority. Use GPT Image 2.5 Flare Edit when input images are required.

[Core Function] MAI Image 2.6 Flash Edit is the faster, lower-cost variant of MAI Image 2.6 image editing. [Strengths] It applies prompt-guided edits to a single source image with lower latency than MAI Image 2.6 Edit. [Best For] Highly recommended for: high-throughput edit APIs and production retouching pipelines. [Limitations] Do NOT use this if the caller provides more than one source image, a data URI, or a URL that is not publicly reachable over HTTP or HTTPS. It accepts exactly one JPEG or PNG image URL, and output is always PNG. auto_aspect_ratio and web_grounding are optional booleans; omit them unless the caller sets them. [Routing] Use this model when edit speed or cost matters more than maximum 2.6 quality. For the highest fidelity, route to MAI Image 2.6 Edit.
[Core Function] MAI Image 2.6 Flash is the faster, lower-cost variant of MAI Image 2.6 text-to-image generation. [Strengths] It targets similar quality to MAI Image 2.6 with lower latency for high-throughput workloads. [Best For] Highly recommended for: production pipelines, batch generation, and latency-sensitive image APIs. [Limitations] Do NOT use this if the requested width or height is below 768, or if width x height exceeds 1,048,576 pixels. Output is always PNG. auto_aspect_ratio and web_grounding are optional booleans; omit them unless the caller sets them. [Routing] Use this model when speed or cost matters more than maximum 2.6 quality. For the highest fidelity, route to MAI Image 2.6.
[Core Function] MAI Image 2.6 Edit is Microsoft's latest prompt-guided image editing model in the MAI Image family. [Strengths] It applies targeted edits to a single source image with the same quality gains as MAI Image 2.6 generation. [Best For] Highly recommended for: object edits, layout changes, text cleanup, and iterative photorealistic retouching. [Limitations] Do NOT use this if the caller provides more than one source image, a data URI, or a URL that is not publicly reachable over HTTP or HTTPS. It accepts exactly one JPEG or PNG image URL, and output is always PNG. auto_aspect_ratio and web_grounding are optional booleans; omit them unless the caller sets them. [Routing] Use this model when the latest MAI edit quality is required. For faster or lower-cost edits, route to MAI Image 2.6 Flash Edit.
[Core Function] MAI Image 2.6 is Microsoft's latest text-to-image generation model in the MAI Image family. [Strengths] It improves text rendering, portraits, 3D imagery, and commercial photorealistic output compared with MAI Image 2.5. [Best For] Highly recommended for: marketing visuals, product hero shots, portraits, and prompts that need accurate on-image text. [Limitations] Do NOT use this if the requested width or height is below 768, or if width x height exceeds 1,048,576 pixels. Output is always PNG. auto_aspect_ratio and web_grounding are optional booleans; omit them unless the caller sets them. [Routing] Use this model when the latest MAI quality is required. For lower latency or cost, route to MAI Image 2.6 Flash.
[Core Function] Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash V2V edits an existing video from a text instruction. [Strengths] It can change scene, mood, style, lighting, or time of day while keeping the source length and aspect ratio, with optional 360p to 4k output and synchronized audio. [Best For] Highly recommended for: re-styling or re-lighting a clip, changing setting or atmosphere, and quick revisions of a short video. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model to generate a video from scratch (use Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash T2V or I2V). The source video should be 3 to 10 seconds; output length and aspect ratio follow the source. [Routing] Choose this only when the user provides an existing video to modify.
