  "summary": "GPT Image 2.6 introduces a new approach to precise image editing by treating each edit as a small change contract, incorporating natural-language instructions along with a transparent PNG annotation layer. This method ensures that the edited output adheres to explicit preservation rules, making it particularly valuable for product imagery, campaign localization, and UI mockups. The system offers two model options, Flare for rapid candidate iteration and Sunburst for a more detail-oriented workflow that fits final edits. To maintain consistency and prevent misuse, the server-side mapping of business intent to an allow-listed configuration is recommended, ensuring that users cannot select unsupported or unexpectedly expensive variants.",
