OpenAI integrates gif creation into ChatGPT alongside images 2.6 update

OpenAI has rolled out an update to ChatGPT that introduces the capability for the AI chatbot to generate animated GIFs. This new feature allows users to create GIFs either through text prompts or by uploading existing photos to the system. This functionality is being deployed concurrently with the release of OpenAI's Images 2.6 model. Users gain several controls over the generated content, including the ability to modify the animation speed and edit specific frames of the GIF. The company demonstrated this by showing how ChatGPT could produce a GIF based on the prompt, 'can you make a gif of a cat dancing?' while also offering options to view it frame-by-frame. Beyond GIF generation, OpenAI has indicated that the Images 2.6 update encompasses additional features.
