Frequently asked questions

What is the GPT Image 3 API model ID?

None has been officially published.

Is OpenAI Image 3 the official name?

No. It is a search phrase and possible developer intent, not a confirmed product name.

Will existing GPT Image 2.5 code work?

That cannot be guaranteed until official endpoints and parameters are documented.
