OpenAI has expanded access to its multimodal image generation model, GPT-Image-1, by making it available to developers through the API. This allows for the integration of high-quality image generation capabilities into various applications and platforms. Previously, GPT-Image-1 was primarily used within ChatGPT, where it gained popularity and generated over 700 million images for more than 130 million users within its first week. The move to offer it via API will likely increase these numbers as developers incorporate the technology into their projects. Leading platforms like Adobe and Figma are already integrating the model, showcasing its appeal and potential impact across different industries.

The GPT-Image-1 model is known for its accurate prompt tracking and versatility in creating images across diverse styles, including the rendering of text within images. The API provides developers with granular control over image creation, offering options to adjust quality settings, the number of images produced, background transparency, and output format. Notably, developers can also adjust moderation sensitivity, balancing flexibility with OpenAI's safety guidelines. This includes the implementation of C2PA metadata watermarking, which identifies images as AI-generated.

The pricing model for the GPT-Image-1 API is based on tokens, with separate rates for text input tokens, image input tokens, and image output tokens. Text input tokens are priced at $5 per million, image input tokens at $10 per million, and image output tokens at $40 per million. In practical terms, the cost per generated image ranges from approximately $0.02 for a low-quality square image to $0.19 for a high-quality square image. The API accepts various image formats, including PNG, JPEG, WEBP, and non-animated GIF, with the model capable of interpreting visual content like objects, colors, shapes, and embedded text.
