Pricing — 1 offering(s)
About this offering: OpenAI's default model in the GPT Image 2.5 family, built for fast, high-quality everyday image generation and editing; Sunburst is the precision tier for edit-heavy work. Billed per token at the same rates as Sunburst: $30 per 1M image output tokens, $8 per 1M image input tokens and $5 per 1M text input tokens, with Batch at half price. The per-image prices shown are OpenAI's own output-only estimates for one 1024×1024 image, so input tokens add to the cost, and OpenAI's calculator gives the same estimates for Flare and Sunburst. Flare ranks #2 on Artificial Analysis's text-to-image arena (Elo 1207) and #2 on its image-editing arena (Elo 1178), checked 2026-10-15.
