GPT-Image-2
gpt-image-2GPT-Image-2 by OpenAI, with Vision. Via SoleAPI, Input (prompt) costs 5 Credits / M tokens, 85% below list price.
Capabilities
Listed exactly as the catalog flags them, including what this model does not support.
Vision
Natively multimodal: captioning, classification, visual Q&A, chart and screenshot understanding. Images are converted to tokens at the input rate.
Function CallingNot supported
Connect the model to external tools and APIs: it decides when to call which function and with what arguments, your code runs it. Force or forbid calls with tool_choice.
ReasoningNot supported
The model thinks before answering, which markedly improves multi-step planning and reasoning for coding, math and data analysis. Thinking tokens bill at the output rate.
Prompt CachingNot supported
Repeated prefixes (system prompts, long documents) hit the cache: reads cost far less than input, writes are priced by retention time.
Response SchemaNot supported
Constrain output to a JSON Schema you provide for predictable, type-safe results without parsing free text.
AudioNot supported
Audio input or speech output.
VideoNot supported
Video input understanding or video generation.
File InputNot supported
Upload PDFs and other documents directly; the model reads the whole document with native vision.
StreamingNot supported
Tokens arrive over SSE as they are generated; the first frame is forwarded immediately with no buffering. Claude Code, Codex and similar tools depend on this.
Web SearchNot supported
Vendor-hosted live web retrieval; the model decides when to search and cites sources.
RealtimeNot supported
Bidirectional low-latency voice / text sessions over WebSocket.
SessionNot supported
Server-side multi-turn context (e.g. previous_response_id in Responses) so you need not resend history.
MediaNot supported
Image / video / music generation endpoints.
Multipart FormNot supported
multipart/form-data file-upload requests.
Binary ResponseNot supported
Endpoints that return raw audio / image bytes.
Protocols & code samples
Change the base URL to SoleAPI, keep everything else. Native protocols pass straight through; “adapted” ones are translated by the gateway.
| Endpoint | Path | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Image | POST /v1/images/edits | native |
| Image | POST /v1/images/generations | native |

| Item | Unit | OpenAI list price | Official ChatGPT ×185% off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input (prompt) | per 1M tokens | 5 Credits | |
| Cache read | per 1M tokens | 1.25 Credits | |
| Image input | per 1M tokens | 8 Credits | |
| Image output (general) | per 1M tokens | 30 Credits | |
| Image cache read | per 1M tokens | 2 Credits |
“Off” is computed at 1 Credit = ¥1 and today’s rate: 1 − channel multiplier × (1 Credit in the list currency).
