GPT Image 2, 1.5, 1 and 1 Mini

These older GPT Image models are most useful when a project already relies on one of their API IDs or when you need to compare costs before changing the image pipeline. Each variant has its own pricing and feature limits, so check the exact model and your account’s access. Keep a record of the model ID, output settings and accepted assets when assessing a replacement. The B tier reflects their value for continuity and cost comparison; OpenAI’s guide recommends GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst or Flare for new integrations. Moderation and service terms still apply.
