500 images for a a prompt library: GPT Image 2.5 cost by quality
500 1024x1024 images on Sume with ChatGPT Image 2.5: $12.3750 at low, $27.8125 at medium, $111.1875 at high quality.

500 images at 1024x1024 cost $12.3750 at quality: low, $27.8125 at medium and $111.1875 at high with ChatGPT Image 2.5 (openai/gpt-image-2.5) on Sume. That is one image per request, priced from Fal's output-token rates with Sume's margin.
Sume's Image API docs (read 2026-10-06) say that if you omit quality the default is high, and that auto reserves the max price. For a a prompt library, pass the quality you mean.
