Frequently Asked Questions about GPT Image 2 API
What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's next-generation native image generation model, succeeding GPT Image 1.5. It is a natively multimodal autoregressive model built on the GPT architecture, delivering near-perfect text rendering, enhanced photorealism, and superior UI/screenshot generation.
What models are available for GPT Image 2 on PoYo?
PoYo offers two GPT Image 2 models:
gpt-image-2 for text-to-image generation from prompts, and gpt-image-2-edit for single-image editing where you provide a source image and describe your desired modifications.How much does GPT Image 2 API cost on PoYo?
GPT Image 2 pricing on PoYo is tiered by quality and resolution. Low quality costs 2/4/8 credits for 1K/2K/4K, Medium costs 8.48/8.96/16.16 credits, and High costs 33.76/35.52/64.16 credits. There are no subscription fees—you only pay for what you generate, and credits never expire.
What image sizes does GPT Image 2 support?
GPT Image 2 supports multiple output sizes including 1024×1024 (square), 1536×1024 (landscape), and 1024×1536 (portrait). Higher resolutions up to 2048×2048 or 4K are expected as the model matures.
How does GPT Image 2 compare to DALL·E 3?
GPT Image 2 significantly surpasses DALL·E 3 in text rendering accuracy (>99% vs good), photorealism, and UI generation fidelity.
