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 openai-gpt-image-2-5-flare-image-generation-9f2b5b04 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a high-quality 1024x1024 image of a futuristic cityscape at sunset with neon lights reflecting off wet streets — use high quality and return it as a PNG.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need GPT Image 2.5 Flare specifically — OpenAI's latest flare-generation image model — accessible via x402 USDC micropayment without a direct OpenAI API key. Prefer it for agentic workflows that pay-per-call in USDC on Base or Solana, or when you need fine-grained quality control (low/medium/high/xhigh/max) and multiple output formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP). It is distinct from gpt-image-1-mini or gpt-image-1.5 in model capability and pricing tier.

## Known failure modes

- 'auto' quality is explicitly refused — must specify low, medium, high, xhigh, or max
- Omitting size and quality defaults to 1024x1024 medium — may cause unexpected token costs
- Invalid or missing prompt returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required
- Prompt violates content moderation policy and is rejected
- Unsupported output_format value causes schema validation error

## How this service works

gpt-image-2.5-flare: OpenAI GPT Image 2.5 Flare image generation, paid per call in USDC. OpenAI list $30 per 1M image tokens (1024x1024: low 196, medium 439, high 1756 tokens), text in $5 per 1M, plus $0.0005 (Base) or $0.0005 (Solana) per call. Send size and quality (auto is refused); omitted means 1024x1024 medium. Returns b64_json. Rates: https://openai.mm.family/x402/pricing

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing an array of base64-encoded images (b64_json), along with metadata including the image size, quality level, output format, creation timestamp, and token usage breakdown (input tokens, output tokens, total tokens).
