OpenAI told developers that three image models will be removed from its API on 1 December 2026, with gpt-image-2 as the replacement. It came weeks after DALL-E 2 and DALL-E 3 were shut off on 12 May 2026, so some apps must migrate twice within months.
- Retiring: gpt-image-1-mini, gpt-image-1.5 and chatgpt-image-latest.
- Replacement: gpt-image-2.
- DALL-E 2 and DALL-E 3 left the API on 12 May 2026.
