ChatGPT now spits out GIFs on demand

🔥 What happened OpenAI taught ChatGPT to generate animated GIFs straight from a prompt or an uploaded photo. It ships alongside the new Images 2.6 model and lets you tweak playback speed and edit individual frames right inside the chat. 💡 Why it matters GIF-making used to mean a separate tool and a multi-step detour — now it collapses into the same chat where you write text and make images. The real headline is the volume: over 4 billion images per week now flow through ChatGPT and the API, up from 3 billion in September. ⚡ Our take This isn't a feature, it's a raid on Canva, Giphy, and every tiny GIF editor out there. If you think animation is its own market, start sweating.
