GPT Image 1.5
The strongest current model for scenes with many interacting elements — independent testing puts it ahead of the FLUX line on photorealism and well ahead on compositions involving eight or more subjects. Latency is around five seconds, so it is a considered choice rather than an interactive one.

Frequently asked
How much does GPT Image 1.5 cost?
GPT Image 1.5 is billed at $0.04 / image.
What is GPT Image 1.5's context window?
Context limits for GPT Image 1.5 depend on the input format rather than a token count.
Is GPT Image 1.5 a reasoning model?
No. GPT Image 1.5 answers directly without a native thinking phase, which keeps latency and cost predictable.
What is GPT Image 1.5 best for?
Complex multi-subject composition. The strongest current model for scenes with many interacting elements — independent testing puts it ahead of the FLUX line on photorealism and well ahead on compositions involving eight or more subjects. Latency is around five seconds, so it is a considered choice rather than an interactive one.
