OpenAI's GPT Image 1.5 model generates and edits images, with improved adherence to instructions and visual prompts.

What should you check before using it?

Confirm output sizes and supported image formats

GPT-Image-1.5 supports streaming, prompt caching, vision input and the OpenAI SDK. Released 2025-12-16. The image input price is $8.0000 per 1M tokens. Test a representative workload before production.

Why use it through MixRoute?

GPT-Image-1.5 takes text and images on one route

Text and image inputs share the same route and the same key. MixRoute serves GPT-Image-1.5 on the OpenAI-compatible endpoint /v1/chat/completions; point your existing client at https://api.mixroute.ai/v1 with the model ID gpt-image-1.5 and re-run your integration tests.

Capabilities & compatibility

Unconfirmed capabilities stay "Unknown," no guesses

Available:

Streaming

GPT-Image-1.5 supports streamed responses.

EX stream: true streams tokens incrementally, so chat UIs render as they arrive.
Available:

Prompt caching

GPT-Image-1.5 supports prompt caching under supported routing conditions.

EX Keep the system prompt and tool definitions at the start of the request; repeated prefixes are automatically billed at the cache-read rate.
Available:

Vision input

GPT-Image-1.5 can process image inputs alongside text.

EX Pass a base64-encoded image in a image_url content part alongside text messages.
Available:

OpenAI SDK

Call GPT-Image-1.5 through MixRoute's OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

EX Change base_url to https://api.mixroute.ai/v1; everything else follows the OpenAI style.

FAQ

For gpt-image-1.5, set the max_tokens or max_completion_tokens parameter to control spending per call. Start with a budget aligned to your typical response length and increase only when longer outputs are genuinely needed. Monitor token usage in the API response headers to tune your budget over time.
