OpenAI Releases ChatGPT Image Generation API for Developers
ChatGPT Image Generation API Release
OpenAI has officially released its image generation capabilities to developers through the gpt-image-1 API. This model, which powers ChatGPT's image creation tool, is now globally accessible via the Images API, with support for the Responses API expected soon.
Key Features
- Versatility: The model supports diverse visual styles, precise image editing, and accurate text rendering.
- Granular Control: Developers can adjust image quality, quantity, background transparency, and output formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP).
- Moderation Settings: The API includes a moderation parameter, allowing developers to choose between standard filtering ("auto") or less restrictive filtering ("low").
- Safety Measures: All images are watermarked with C2PA metadata to identify them as AI-generated.
Pricing
The API follows a token-based pricing model:
- Text Input Tokens: $5 per million
- Image Input Tokens: $10 per million
- Image Output Tokens: $40 per million
In practical terms, this translates to approximately $0.02, $0.07, and $0.19 per image for low, medium, and high-quality square images, respectively.
Adoption
Major platforms like Adobe, Figma, and Wix are already integrating the API into their products. For example, Figma users can now generate and edit images directly within the design tool, enhancing workflow efficiency.
Impact
The release follows the massive success of ChatGPT's image generation feature, which saw over 130 million users create more than 700 million images in its first week. This API release positions OpenAI to further dominate the developer market and expand its revenue streams.
