Rangy 2.10: GPT Image 2.6, Kling 4.0, Seedream 5.5 and More

What’s new in Rangy 2.10

Three new image models. GPT Image 2.6 is OpenAI’s newest image model, in three versions: Flare, Sunburst and a flat-priced Economy. Seedream 5.5 is ByteDance’s newest Seedream, from $0.018 an image, with transparent backgrounds. MiniMax H3 Image costs $0.009 an image, the lowest price of any model in Rangy.

A fourth upscaler. Kie Upscale cleans an image up at its own size, or enlarges it 2×, 4× or 8×, keeping text sharp instead of redrawing it. Results up to 4.2 megapixels cost $0.0075.

Three new video models. Kling 4.0 makes 3- to 30-second clips at up to 1080p with native audio: from text, from your own first and last frames, or from reference images, a video and a voice. Kling 4.0 Flash is the faster, cheaper version, and PixVerse V6 Max turns text or a still into video from 360p to 1080p, with optional sound.

Prices you can check. After each GPT Image 2.6, Seedream 5.5, MiniMax H3 Image or Kie Upscale run, the status line shows what Kie actually charged. Every video estimate in Rangy has also been re-checked against Kie’s current price list.

Everything on this page, six images, an upscale and four video clips, was made with Rangy 2.10 during release testing, with the prompts shown, for $1.28 in Kie charges.¹

Three image models, six jobs

Each new image model took a turn on the same scene: generate it, edit it, restyle it, add to it, then cut a product out and recolor it. Pick a step to see the result, the prompt and what Kie charged.

What one 1K image costs, model by model

All 22 image models in Rangy, cheapest first: one image from text at 1K, on the provider Rangy uses by default.⁴

Kie Upscale: sharper detail, from $0.0075

The Pro tab’s fourth upscaler. Pick 1× to clean an image up at its own size, or 2×, 4× or 8× to enlarge it.

Detail of the mug enlarged 2× with an ordinary resize: soft edges — The same detail of the mug photo from step 1, enlarged 2×: on the left with a standard bicubic resize, on the right by Kie Upscale, which cost $0.0075.¹ Drag to compare.

The same detail enlarged 2× by Kie Upscale: a crisp rim and glaze speckles — The same detail of the mug photo from step 1, enlarged 2×: on the left with a standard bicubic resize, on the right by Kie Upscale, which cost $0.0075.¹ Drag to compare.

1× keeps the size and cleans the image up, removing noise and sharpening it. 2×, 4× and 8× multiply the width and height. Kie says text is upscaled without being redrawn, so labels, signs and screenshots stay legible.

The card shows the result size and price as soon as you load an image. Rangy won’t send a job that would pass Kie’s limit of 67 megapixels or 16,384 pixels a side; it names the largest factor that fits, so nothing is spent on a job Kie would refuse.

Result size	Price
Up to 4.2 megapixels	$0.0075
Up to 16.8 megapixels	$0.02
Up to 67 megapixels	$0.06

Transparent areas come back white. For transparent PNGs, use Crystal or Pruna.

Three new video models

Kling’s newest video model in two speeds, and PixVerse’s top model. All three run on Kie.ai, and both Kling models make sound with the picture.

With a reference video, Kling 4.0 costs less per second ($0.085 at 720p, $0.1275 at 1080p), but Kie also bills the video’s own length; Rangy’s estimate allows for it. Kling 4.0 Flash can’t start from a first frame in Rangy 2.10, because Kie’s Flash first-frame mode failed in every pre-release test.⁶ To animate your own image, use Kling 4.0.

Prices you can check

Rangy has always shown a price before you generate. Rangy 2.10 also shows the bill: for GPT Image 2.6, Seedream 5.5, MiniMax H3 Image and Kie Upscale, the status line reports what Kie actually charged.

Seedream 5.5: Kie charged $0.0252 for this image

Kie upscale complete — Kie charged $0.0075

Rangy’s status line after the Seedream 5.5 edit and the Kie Upscale run on this page.

Twelve test runs, checked against the bill

Before release, every new model ran for real, and each charge was compared with the price Rangy quoted. Eleven matched it exactly. The twelfth, GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst, is billed by usage and came within a tenth of a cent of the estimate.

Seedance 2.5 at 1080p ($0.57 → $0.79 a second) and Gemini Omni 1.0 ($0.75 → $0.525 for 8 seconds) changed too. Kie always billed its own price; only Rangy’s estimates were out of date.

In the Agent and over MCP

All seven models are in the Rangy Agent and in Rangy’s MCP server, so Claude, Codex or Gemini CLI can call them by name. Every result comes back with the estimate and Kie’s actual charge.

Older copies of Rangy, cleaned up

Rangy 2.8 and older installed updates only to the Applications folder, so a copy kept in Downloads or on the Desktop stayed old, and opening it from the Dock started a version that can’t read your licence or keys. On a Mac, Rangy now finds those copies and offers once to move them to the Trash.

Magnific key help

Freepik’s API is now called Magnific. Settings › API Keys points to magnific.com/api for new keys, and existing Freepik keys keep working with the Magnific upscaler and Skin Enhancer.

Questions

Do I need a new API key for Rangy 2.10?

Only a Kie.ai key, if you don’t have one yet: all seven new models run on Kie.ai. Add it in Settings › API Keys. Your Replicate, Google and Magnific keys keep working for the models that use them.

Which of the new models work on the free plan?

GPT Image 2.6, Seedream 5.5 and MiniMax H3 Image are Core-tab models, so they work on every plan, including the free plan’s 5 images a day. Kie Upscale, the video models, the Agent and the MCP server are part of Pro.

Is MiniMax H3 Image really the cheapest image model?

Yes. It costs $0.009 per image at 1K or 2K, against $0.016 for Seedream 5 Flash, the previous cheapest. 4K costs $0.0275, and each reference image adds $0.0025.

Why can’t Kling 4.0 Flash start from my image?

In every pre-release test, Kie’s Flash first-frame mode ended in an internal error (nothing was charged), so Rangy 2.10 turns it off. Flash works from text and reference images, and Kling 4.0 animates a first and last frame.

How does Rangy know what Kie charged?

When a job finishes, Kie reports the credits it used. Rangy converts them at Kie’s rate of 200 credits to $1 and shows the amount in the status line. AI assistants connected over MCP receive it as actual_cost_usd.

How do I update to Rangy 2.10?

Rangy checks for updates by itself and offers 2.10 in a window: choose Update Now. You can also click Update available at the top of Rangy, or download the installer from rangy.ai/download. Your images and settings are kept.

Notes

Every image and clip on this page was made with Rangy 2.10 during release testing on 11–12 November 2026, through Kie.ai, with the prompts shown. Files were resized and compressed for the web. The eleven examples cost $1.28 in Kie charges in total.
Prices are Kie.ai’s list prices on 12 November 2026 (200 Kie credits = $1), as Rangy quotes them. Providers change their prices; for GPT Image 2.6, Seedream 5.5, MiniMax H3 Image and Kie Upscale, the status line shows the actual charge.
GPT Image 2.6 Flare and Sunburst are billed by usage. The figures shown were measured at 1:1 with a short prompt; longer prompts and more input images cost more.
The image chart uses one image from text at 1K on the provider Rangy uses by default: Kie.ai where it carries the model, otherwise Replicate. Ideogram 4.5 is shown at Low quality.
Video prices are per second of output at 720p (MiniMax H3 at 768p), without paid audio or a reference video. Gemini Omni is priced per clip and isn’t shown.
Kling 4.0 Flash first frames: four tests on 11–12 November 2026 ended in a Kie internal error, and none were charged, so Rangy 2.10 doesn’t offer the option.
