Strengths

About $0.02 per image

One of the cheapest flagship-family image models available, which makes bulk generation and prompt sweeps practical.

Fast iteration

Short render times keep the creative loop tight when you are testing dozens of prompt variants.

Editing supported

Takes a reference image for edits and restyles, not just text-to-image.

Pairs with GPT-5 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.
