About the model

This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.

#### Generation and work with images

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is an OpenAI model for creating images. The manufacturer pays particular attention to fidelity when editing source material. The model supports text prompts and visual source material in the operations provided for that purpose.

The current Ailoot card presents image creation from text. The scene, composition, style and details of a future result can be specified. OpenAI-described reference workflows, editing and changes to a masked region require separate image-input support; text-to-image generation does not confirm that support.

#### Quality and frame shape

`low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max` and `auto` are available. Quality selection controls how an image is formed. It differs from compositional dimensions and compression of the received file.

Size can be square, landscape, portrait, selected automatically or specified manually. For custom sizes, each dimension is a multiple of 16 pixels and does not exceed 3840 pixels. Area must lie between 655,360 and 8,294,400 pixels, and the ratio of the longer dimension to the shorter must not exceed 3:1. All conditions apply simultaneously.

The manufacturer designates resolutions above `2560x1440` as experimental. A large frame allows suitable compositional space to be selected, but does not remove the need to check text and object placement.

#### Output formats and background

PNG is the default; JPEG and WebP are also provided. Compression can be adjusted in JPEG and WebP. A transparent background requires PNG or WebP because JPEG does not retain an alpha channel. Opaque backgrounds and automatic selection are provided alongside transparency.

Size, quality, format and background address different aspects of the result. Image style is specified through a text description alongside scene content. Support for particular settings needs to be considered separately from the manufacturer's general capabilities.

#### Edit accuracy and image checking

According to OpenAI, a complex prompt may take up to two minutes to process. This describes generation with the manufacturer, not a guarantee of total result-delivery time in a particular application.

In a separately supported editing operation, a mask guides changes to the selected region. It does not guarantee strict conformity of the result to the boundary, so a promise of a precise local edit would be too strong. This mode requires the appropriate way of supplying source material.

During generation, the model may also place text or details incorrectly or change a character's appearance between individual images. Checking text, composition and consistency belongs to inspection of the finished file. Even a detailed prompt does not make these properties guaranteed.

### Receive and save results

#### Ailoot · Images

Download each returned image or save its Base64 contents

- `GET /v1/media/tasks/{task_id}`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}/content`
- `GET /v1/media/assets`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}`

##### Keep all completed results

Save every completed image; retrieve each returned URL or decode its Base64 contents.

Save every data item. Decode each b64\_json or fetch every returned signed URL. Select a filename extension from the actual MIME/bytes.

##### If the original response needs checking

If an image generation or edit result requires a check, keep the original operation\_id/X-Client-Request-ID and returned result information. Recover existing owned results through the media library using actual task\_id or asset\_id values. Do not resubmit the generation/edit request or construct a polling URL from operation\_id.

Response fields

| Field | Type |
| --- | --- |
| Field`created` | Typeinteger |
| Field`data[].url` | Typestring |
| Field`data[].b64_json` | Typebase64 string |
| Field`usage` | Typeobject |

Errors and next steps

| Response | Condition | Next step |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Response400 · `invalid_request_error` | ConditionInvalid required fields, material representation or parameter value | Next stepCorrect the indicated fields before a new creation request. |
| Response`server_error` | ConditionThe returned response says the operation or result requires a check | Next stepKeep the original returned operation/task ID, request headers and response; continue supported reads of that original operation. Do not resubmit the creation request. |
