The black hole binary GS 2023+338 exhibited an unprecedently bright outburst on June 2015 . Since June 17th , the high energy instruments on board INTEGRAL detected an extremely variable emission during both bright and low luminosity phases , with dramatic variations of the hardness ratio on time scales of \sim seconds . The analysis of the IBIS and SPI data reveals the presence of hard spectra in the brightest phases , compatible with thermal Comptonization with temperature kT _ { e } \sim 40 keV . The seed photons temperature is best fit by kT _ { 0 } \sim 7 keV , that is too high to be compatible with blackbody emission from the disk . This result is consistent with the seed photons being provided by a different source , that we hypothesize to be a synchrotron driven component in the jet . During the brightest phase of flares , the hardness shows a complex pattern of correlation with flux , with a maximum energy released in the range 40 - 100 keV . The hard X-ray variability for E > 50 keV is correlated with flux variations in the softer band , showing that the overall source variability can not originate entirely from absorption , but at least part of it is due to the central accreting source .
