Generate images with GPT Image Mini
GPT Image Mini is the OpenAI entry point of the catalogue: the same instruction-following spirit as GPT Image 2, in a lighter and markedly cheaper version, editing included. It carries the bulk of daily work, thumbnails, variants, guided retouches, and leaves the hard cases, demanding text or tight layout, to its big sibling. To learn how to drive an instruction-based image model, it is the ideal training ground.
Capabilities
- Edits existing images and takes visual references
