GPT Image 2 Thinking Mode: What it actually does under the hood (and 6 things only it can do)

via

Reddit

Hey everyone, I’ve been testing GPT Image 2’s new Thinking Mode heavily, and I noticed a lot of people are either leaving it on for everything (wasting money and time) or ignoring it entirely (missing out on the actual reasoning capabilities). I put together a breakdown of what's happening under the hood and a decision framework for when to actually toggle it on. The TL;DR of what it is: Thinking Mode isn’t just a "higher quality" button. It adds a reasoning pass powered by the GPT-5.4 backbone
