OpenAI's GPT Image 2 API: Real Costs Vary Widely from Advertised Prices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI's GPT Image 2 API pricing is complex, with the advertised cost per image differing significantly from real-world expenses. While OpenAI states a base rate, the actual cost is influenced by resolution, quality settings, and the rate of rejected prompts, which are not publicly documented. For instance, achieving high-quality images at maximum resolution can cost approximately $0.40 per image, a substantial increase from default settings. Developers must account for these variable costs, as well as additional infrastructure expenses like hosting and CDN, when integrating the API into their products. AI

    GPT Image 2 API: why "price per image" is a formula, not a number

    <p>Официальный тариф OpenAI — $5 за миллион текстовых токенов на входе, $8 за миллион токенов входных изображений и $30 за миллион токенов на выходе, но реальная стоимость сценария зависит от разрешения, quality, эндпоинта и доли отбракованных промптов, которые нигде не задокумен…
