Model Card

DALL·E 2 is OpenAI's earlier text-to-image model released in 2022 that generates images up to 1024x1024 pixels and supports inpainting, outpainting, and image variations. It offers more control in prompting and allows multiple images per request but produces lower quality results than newer models. DALL·E 2 is now deprecated and will be discontinued in May 2026.

GPT-5.4 Nano

GPT-5.4 Nano is the smallest and cheapest model in the GPT-5.4 family, offering a 400k context window at just $0.20/1M input tokens. It excels at classification, data extraction, ranking, and coding sub-agent tasks, outperforming the previous GPT-5 Mini on SWE-Bench Pro (52.4% vs 45.7%). It's ideal for high-volume, low-latency workloads and as a fast sub-agent in multi-model architectures.
