Test cheap, ship premium

The GPT Image family ships in tiers. Prototype on the cheapest, lock your prompt, then switch to the top tier for production.

The GPT Image API — in one request

Call the GPT Image API through your SamAutomation key — submit a job with the model_id, then poll until it's done. One key for every model, no per-vendor onboarding or separate billing.

# 1. submit a generation job
POST /api/ai/jobs
{
  "model_id": "gpt-image-1-5",
  "prompt": "a product shot on a marble surface, soft studio light",
  "options": { "aspect_ratio": "16:9" }
}
# → { "id": "job_a1b2", "status": "queued" }

# 2. poll until the image is ready
GET /api/ai/jobs/{id}
# → { "status": "succeeded", "output": { "url": "…" } }

GPT Image 1.5: the questions people ask

Does GPT Image 1.5 have an API?

Yes. On SamAutomation GPT Image 1.5 runs through one endpoint - POST /api/ai/jobs with model_id "gpt-image-1-5" - so you do not need a separate account or key with OpenAI. You submit a job and poll it until the image is ready.

How much does GPT Image 1.5 cost?

GPT Image 1.5 starts at 8 credits per job at its cheapest settings. Longer clips, higher resolution and extra options cost more. Credits come with a plan, and the same key also covers JSON-to-video rendering and every other model.

Is GPT Image 1.5 free?

No. Generation burns real GPU time, so every render costs credits - 8 at the floor for GPT Image 1.5. Anything advertising unlimited free generation is either putting you behind a long queue or watermarking the result. Plans bundle monthly credits instead.

Which GPT Image 1.5 tier should I pick?

Start at the cheapest tier in the ladder above and move up only when you can see the difference in your own output. Higher tiers cost more credits per job, and on short social clips that difference is often invisible.

Is GPT Image 1.5 restricted or region-locked?

You reach GPT Image 1.5 through this API with your SamAutomation key, not through OpenAI's own app, so that app's sign-up and regional availability are not what gates you. The model's own content rules still apply to what you generate.

Where is the official GPT Image 1.5 site?

OpenAI publishes the model itself; this page is about calling it as an API alongside every other model on one key, which is a different job from their consumer app.

Where is the GPT Image 1.5 API documentation, and is there a download?

There is nothing to download. The GPT Image 1.5 API documentation you need here is our own reference: one endpoint, one key, and the model_id above. OpenAI publishes its own docs for the model, but those describe their platform, not this one.

Is GPT Image 1.5 available right now?

If it is listed on this page it is active on the platform and you can call it today. Model availability moves — makers retire versions and add tiers — so the list here is the current state rather than a promise about next quarter.

Is there a GPT Image 1.5 SDK, GitHub repo or Python example?

You do not need a vendor SDK here. GPT Image 1.5 is an HTTP call: POST /api/ai/jobs with your key and model_id "gpt-image-1-5", then poll the job. Any language that can send JSON can drive it, and the request shape is the same for every model on this platform.

Is GPT Image 1.5 safe to use, and what happens to my input?

The practical questions are the same for every generation service: what the provider may do with what you upload, how long it is kept, and whether it can be used for training. Read that clause before you send client material through any model, ours included. OpenAI publishes its own terms for the model itself.

Are the GPT Image 1.5 weights open source or on Hugging Face?

That is up to OpenAI, not to us, and it differs per model and per release. If open weights matter to you, check the maker's own licence. Running it here is renting inference, not getting the weights.

Do I need the GPT Image 1.5 app to use it?

No. The consumer app and the API are separate products with separate limits. Here you call GPT Image 1.5 through this platform, so there is no app to install and no second subscription.

What is GPT Image 1.5 good at?

OpenAI image generation and editing with strong prompt following. Pick it when that is the job; a cheaper model wins when it is not.
