OpenAI Images API is FINALLY Here!



AI Summary

Summary of OpenAI’s Image API Using GPT-1

  1. Introduction to the Image API
    • OpenAI releases the Images API for the GPT-1 model to create and edit images programmatically.
  2. Creating New Images
    • Using Text Prompts: Example - creating a Studio Ghibli-style drawing of a cat in a business suit surrounded by ninja cats.
    • Code example: client.images.generate with a prompt and saving output as cat.png.
    • Users require organization verification to access the image model.
  3. Editing Images
    • Using Image References: Generate an image of a gift basket using prompts and references to existing images.
    • Code example: client.images.edit with prompt and image lists, saving output as gift_basket.png.
  4. In-Painting Technique
    • Replace transparent areas in images with new content using a mask image (e.g., inserting a flamingo into a pool image).
    • Example code for image in-painting and results from the execution.
  5. Creating Images with Transparency
    • Generate pixel art images with transparent backgrounds.
    • Using the completions API to create different pixel art styles.
    • Example code for generating and saving pixel art images with prompts.
  6. Cost Analysis
    • Starting credit balance at 1.96 after generating 8 images, highlighting the costs associated with using the API.
  7. Conclusion
    • Overall efficiency and capability of the new API in generating and automating image creation processes.
    • Acknowledges the improvement over previous models and provides links for code files in the description.
