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?
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
n on GPT Image 2.5 | 1 to 4 |
| Request-level ceiling for any model | 10 |
| Cost | Per image; multiply the single-image cost by n |
| Slow cases | Large 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.
