GPT Image 1 Mini is a cost-optimized variant of GPT Image 1, released in October 2025 at OpenAI DevDay. It shares the same natively multimodal autoregressive architecture, accepting both text and image inputs to produce image outputs, while reducing API costs by approximately 80% compared to the full model. Designed for high-volume workflows such as rapid prototyping and bulk asset generation, it offers the core capabilities of the GPT Image family at the lowest price point in the lineup.
