# PayWeave Replicate – GPT-Image-2-High Image Generation

> PayWeave Replicate – GPT-Image-2-High Image Generation is a paid API for AI agents from replicate.payweave.services, paid per call via x402, $0.26/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Generates high-quality images using OpenAI's GPT-Image-2 model (high quality tier) via PayWeave's pay-per-call Replicate proxy, billed at $0.26 USDC per prediction.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://replicate.payweave.services/models/openai/gpt-image-2-high/predictions
- Price: $0.26/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/payweave-replicate-gpt-image-2-high-image-generation-43d68148
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_tsvJ2DedH4yuVlsarxKQz

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 payweave-replicate-gpt-image-2-high-image-generation-43d68148 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a high-quality image of a golden retriever sitting in a sun-drenched meadow with wildflowers using GPT-Image-2 at high quality — I'm fine paying the per-call fee.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need high-quality AI image generation via OpenAI's GPT-Image-2 model and want pay-per-call USDC billing without a monthly subscription. Ideal for agents that generate images infrequently or need on-demand billing transparency. Prefer over lower-quality tiers when image fidelity is important.

## Known failure modes

- Prediction fails if the input object is malformed or missing required model parameters (status: failed, error message returned)
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance, returning 402 Payment Required before inference begins
- Model-level content policy rejection resulting in a failed status with an error string
- CDN URL expiry after ~24 hours makes the output image inaccessible
- Network timeout during long inference resulting in a processing or failed status

## How this service works

Run open-source AI models — image, video, audio.

## Output

Returns a Replicate prediction object including a unique prediction ID, the model name, a status field (succeeded/failed/canceled/processing/starting), a CDN-hosted image URL (valid ~24 hours) in the output field, timing metrics (total_time, predict_time), creation and completion timestamps, and the USD amount charged for the call.
