    GPT Image 2.5 is now available — OpenAI's newest image model, released 8 September 2026. Billed per image at a flat $0.03, so prompt length and scene complexity never change the price. Each call returns one image of roughly 1.5 megapixels; the size parameter picks the aspect ratio. Requests to gpt-image-2 are now served by 2.5 at the same price, with no code changes.
