GPT Image 1

by OpenAI

GPT Image 1 is an earlier-generation OpenAI image model with a natively multimodal architecture, accepting both text and image inputs to produce newly generated or edited images. It covers core image generation and editing workflows, but has since been succeeded by GPT Image 1.5 and GPT Image 2, which improve instruction following, text rendering, and how faithfully edits preserve the original composition.
