Operator guidance
OpenAI's current image flagship (superseded gpt-image-1, 2026-04-21) — route here by default for text-heavy, multilingual, or high-resolution work. Reasoning/"Thinking mode" is gated to Plus/Pro/Business/Enterprise on the consumer ChatGPT product; confirm equivalent API-side gating before assuming it's always available for a given integration.
Use cases
- Complex instructions with in-image text across multiple scripts/languages
- Agentic/tool-assisted generation — web search before generating, multi-image batching
- 4K-resolution output for print or high-detail use cases
- Editing and reference-guided generation
Provenance notice
- Outputs carry C2PA content-credential metadata, same as gpt-image-1
- Subject to OpenAI safety filtering
Limitations
- Reasoning/'Thinking mode' capability gating on the API side (vs. the consumer subscription tiers) not independently confirmed this pass
- Architecture undisclosed; closed weights, same as gpt-image-1
- Capability ratings are qualitative except where a specific benchmark is cited
