GPT Image 1

openai/gpt-image-1

24 credits, prompt-driven

OpenAI's GPT Image 1 takes instructions in plain language rather than prompt-engineering syntax, which makes it forgiving to write for. 24 credits an image; the newer GPT Image 2 is cheaper.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay with mobile money, without a bank card?

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.

API

import Tchavi from '@tchavi/sdk';

const client = new Tchavi({ apiKey: 'API_KEY' });

  "model": "gpt-image-1",
  "prompt": "A cute cat wearing a space suit",
  "n": 1,
  "quality": "standard",
  "size": "1024x1024"
});

console.log(result.data[0].b64_json);
