Unlock Creative Possibilities with GPT-Image-1: OpenAI’s New AI Image Model Now Available on Azure

OpenAI plans to extend its popular image creation technology to mainstream applications by making its advanced GPT-image-1 model available to developers through its API. Users have already experienced the power of this image generator in ChatGPT but now it will drive creativity throughout numerous apps and services due to Microsoft Azure’s AI Foundry integration.

From ChatGPT Craze to Developer Playground

OpenAI's advanced image model which became available to most ChatGPT users in March captivated global audiences with its stunning visuals that included Studio Ghibli-style dreamscapes and hyper-realistic “AI action figures.” The buzz translated into big numbers: OpenAI announced that users generated over 700 million images during the first week which saw more than 130 million new users join.

Developers now have access to OpenAI’s API which utilizes GPT-image-1 as its core technology component. The model stands out among AI image generator because it produces multi-style visuals and integrates readable text as part of its artistic output.

What Developers Get: Flexibility, Fidelity, and Filtering

GPT image-1 enables developers to produce multiple images simultaneously while adjusting quality for speed optimization and using their own images to steer new image creation processes. The model enables text-to-image and image-to-image transformations as well as inpainting along with natural language-based editing which provides TECHNOLOGY with unparalleled flexibility.

From Design to Grocery Apps

OpenAI isn't launching this in a vacuum. Airtable, GoDaddy, Wix, Canva, Adobe, Instacart, and Figma have started trial runs with the technology. Instacart is testing image generation for recipe and shopping list creation while Figma Design introduced the ability to edit visuals using GPT-image-1 straight from its interface.

Pricing, Specs, and Possibilities

GPT-image-1’s pricing is tiered based on usage: The service costs $5 per million text input tokens while images require $10 and output tokens are priced at $40 each. Users will pay between 2 and 19 cents for each image produced depending on its quality. This model functions with high-resolution formats reaching dimensions of 1535x1024 and serves educational materials, children’s books, UI design applications as well as game asset creation.
