Strengths
One of the cheapest flagship-family image models available, which makes bulk generation and prompt sweeps practical.
Short render times keep the creative loop tight when you are testing dozens of prompt variants.
Takes a reference image for edits and restyles, not just text-to-image.
Draft on Mini and re-render selects on GPT-5 Image — identical request shape, one key.

GPT-5 Image Mini API — images from $0.02
GPT-5 Image Mini is the compact, low-cost tier of OpenAI's GPT-5 image lineup. At roughly two cents an image it is built for volume: prompt exploration, thumbnails, A/B creative, and pipelines that generate at scale.
It runs on YepAPI's `/v1/media/queue` endpoint with the same request shape as GPT-5 Image, so promoting a winning prompt to the larger model is a one-string change.
