10 images for a a thumbnail test: GPT Image 2.5 cost by quality

10 images at 1024x1024 cost $0.2475 at quality: low, $0.55625 at medium and $2.22375 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 thumbnail test, pass the quality you mean.
