I've been using GPT Image 2 all week — here's what it's actually good for

OpenAI released GPT Image 2 on April 21, bringing major improvements including reliable multilingual text rendering, better instruction following, 4K resolution output, and reasoning-before-rendering for more consistent results. A practical workflow is demonstrated combining GPT Image 2 for storyboard generation with Seedance 2.0 for animation, plus a cyberpunk RPG-style content creator workflow using Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Seedance 2.0, and DaVinci Resolve. DALL-E 2 and DALL-E 3 are being retired on May 12, 2026. Sample image and video prompts are included for creative experimentation.
