GPT Image 2
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's April 2026 image model, supporting both generation and editing through the API. It was succeeded by GPT Image 2.5 (September 8, 2026) but still ranked #3 on the LMArena text-to-image leaderboard on September 21, 2026, and remains a sensible default for blog covers, product scenes, ads, and diagrams.

OpenAI lists about $0.006 (low), $0.053 (medium), and $0.211 (high) per ~1-megapixel image; FAL charges the same, and Replicate lists $0.012 / $0.047 / $0.128. Teamday's static cost estimate is $0.06 per image at medium quality.
Is GPT Image 2 good at rendering text?
