When to use GPT Image 2

Updated 2026-07-31

Where this model earns its cost — and where it doesn't.

Released in April 2026, this model accepts text and image inputs to generate images at 1024×1024, 1024×1536, 1536×1024, or 2048×2048 resolutions. It features reasoning-augmented composition and supports low, medium, and high quality tiers, with medium as the default.

Kyma routes requests through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint using a single API key. The platform provides automatic failover if a serving path degrades, and every response returns the exact cost in the usage.cost field alongside an X-Kyma-Model header confirming the executed model. Prompt caching is supported, billing repeated prefixes at 10% of the standard input rate.

The model does not support structured outputs or reasoning capabilities. Generation speed is rated medium, and it operates strictly as an image-to-image or text-to-image generator without native text output capabilities.

Multilingual Typography Rendering

Generates accurate text overlays in multiple languages directly within generated images.

Photorealistic Scene Composition

Produces high-fidelity photographs and realistic environments from descriptive prompts.

Logo and Brand Asset Creation

Renders precise, logo-grade lettering and graphic elements suitable for branding workflows.

Reference Image Editing

Modifies existing images using text instructions while preserving core visual structure.

Not ideal for: Do not use this model if you require fast, low-latency generation, structured JSON outputs, or reasoning capabilities.
