Standard (Async)

POST /api/v1/gpt-5-2 — returns request_id, poll for result via /api/v1/predictions/{id}/result.

Streaming (SSE)

POST /api/v1/gpt-5-2/stream — returns a live SSE stream. Each chunk: data: {"choices":[{"delta":{"content":"text"}}]}, ending with data: [DONE].

Common Questions

Frequently asked

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is token-based: $1.25 per million input tokens and $9.00 per million output tokens. The minimum charge per call is $0.00023. Actual cost is deducted after each call based on token counts returned by the model.

What is the reasoning effort option?

You can control the depth of reasoning by passing a reasoning_effort value of 'low', 'medium', or 'high'. The default value is 'high'.

Does GPT 5.2 support images?

Yes. Pass an image_url in the request body to include an image as part of the user message.
