gpt-image-1-mini API

gpt-image-1-mini is a cost-optimized, multimodal image model from OpenAI that accepts text and image inputs and produces image outputs. It is positioned as a smaller, cheaper sibling to OpenAI’s full GPT-Image-1 family — designed for high-throughput production use where cost and latency are important constraints. The model is intended for tasks such as text-to-image generation, image editing / inpainting, and workflows that incorporate reference imagery.
