gpt-5-image (gpt-5-image) is an OpenAI multimodal model in the GPT‑5 family, focused on generating and understanding images alongside natural language. It sits in a higher‑end capability tier, pairing strong visual reasoning and image creation/editing with the general-purpose language strengths of the GPT‑5 line. The model is intended for use cases like creative design, UI mockups, marketing assets, technical visualizations, and image-aware agents or workflows, where tight integration between text and images matters. Compared with lighter or text‑only models, it generally trades higher cost and compute needs for more advanced visual fidelity, control, and multimodal reasoning.

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
model | string, required | This model's ID, exactly as shown above. |
messages | array, required | Conversation history as role/content objects (system, user, assistant). |
temperature | number, optional | Sampling randomness, typically 0–2. |
max_tokens | integer, optional | Upper limit on tokens generated in the reply. |
top_p | number, optional | Nucleus-sampling threshold, as an alternative to temperature. |
stream | boolean, ignored | Responses are always returned in full so the exact cost can be billed; streaming is not available. |
