## Positioning

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI’s flagship image generation model, optimized for photorealistic outputs, multilingual text rendering, and logo-grade typography. Reach for it when you need high-fidelity image composition from text or image prompts with reliable lettering accuracy.

## About

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.

## Use cases

- **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.

## Pick something else when

- You need faster generation times → `imagen-4-fast`
- You require scalable vector graphics → `recraft-v4-vector`, `recraft-v4-vector-pro`
- You prioritize ultra-high resolution outputs → `flux-2-pro`, `imagen-4-ultra`
