OpenAI has just launched a cheaper/slower way to get images. I would love to have this option in Pickaxe.
Here is the email I got from OpenAI about this new feature:
We’re excited to share that you can now use the Batch API with our GPT Image models to send async groups of requests at 50% lower cost, with access to a separate pool of higher rate limits. This is available for our GPT Image models: gpt-image-1.5, chatgpt-image-latest, gpt-image-1, and gpt-image-1-mini.
For edits, we also support application/json requests on /v1/images/edits for GPT Image models. JSON requests reference images (and optional masks) using image_url or file_id, rather than multipart uploads—making it easier to manage and scale high-volume workflows.
You can learn more about how to get started with the Batch API here.
Thanks for building with OpenAI.
