OpenAI has launched the GPT-Image-1 model as an API, allowing developers and enterprises to integrate high-quality image generation directly into their platforms. This new API enables the creation of images across diverse styles and applications, as detailed in a company blog post.

The GPT-Image-1 model supports a wide range of use cases, from creative projects to enterprise solutions. Companies like Canva, GoDaddy, and Airtable are already exploring its potential for enhancing their services. The API's pricing structure separates tokens for text and images, with image output tokens priced at $40 per million tokens.
