GPT Image 2.5: how many images can I generate per request?

On Sume, GPT Image 2.5 takes n from 1 to 4 images per request, billed per image. How to ask for several versions and what a 202 means for a larger n.

You can generate up to 4 images per request with GPT Image 2.5 on Sume: the catalog lists n as 1 to 4 for the model, even though the request schema accepts up to 10 for any model. Each image is billed, so n: 4 costs four times one image at the same size and quality.

From Sume's Image API docs and its catalog code, read 2026-09-29.

How do I ask for four versions?

curl -X POST "https://api.sume.com/v1/images" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-image-2.5",
    "prompt": "logo concept: a fox made of folded paper, flat colors",
    "n": 4,
    "quality": "low",
    "image_size": "1024x1024"
  }'

What limits apply?

Read 2026-09-29. From the Image API docs and catalog.
ItemValue
n on GPT Image 2.51 to 4
Request-level ceiling for any model10
CostPer image; multiply the single-image cost by n
Slow casesLarge n, 4K and high quality can return 202

Is it cheaper to draft at low quality?

Cost follows output tokens, and low uses far fewer than high at the same size. A common pattern is four low drafts, then one high render of the winner. See the price table for your size.
