# GPT Image 2 Low – Text-to-Image Generation (Low Quality)

> GPT Image 2 Low – Text-to-Image Generation (Low Quality) is a paid API for AI agents from www.amnt.io, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Generates a low-quality GPT Image 2 image from a text prompt, supporting any aspect ratio up to 3:1, with output as transparent PNG or JPEG.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability gpt-image-2-low-text-to-image-generation-low-quality-0b4e65d2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an image of a cheerful red fox mascot waving, with flat colours, in a 16:9 landscape format as a transparent PNG.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, affordable AI-generated image ($0.008) from a text prompt and can accept low quality output. It excels at producing images with sharp detail, readable text, and clear faces in any aspect ratio up to 3:1. Prefer it over higher-quality or more expensive tiers when speed and cost matter more than maximum fidelity, or for drafts and prototypes. Use it over generic image generation services when you specifically need GPT Image 2's strengths (text legibility, faces, the all-rounder profile) with transparent PNG support.

## Known failure modes

- Prompt too long (over 1000 characters) — request rejected
- Invalid aspect ratio format or ratio exceeding 3:1 — validation error
- Compression value out of 0–100 range for JPEG — validation error
- Prompt triggers content policy violation — generation refused
- Timeout after ~20 seconds if the model is under heavy load
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — request not processed

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a URL linking to the generated image, the pixel dimensions (width x height), the model used (GPT Image 2), and the quality setting. The image is available as either a PNG (optionally transparent) or JPEG file.
