As of March 23, 2026, OpenAI image generation can stream, but the current behavior is partial-image preview streaming rather than text-token streaming from the image model. This guide shows what that means in practice, when to use the Images API, when to switch to the Responses API, and how to avoid the documentation mistakes that still confuse page one.

OpenAI Image Generation API Models: Which One Should You Use in 2026?

If you are choosing among OpenAI image generation API models right now, start with gpt-image-1.5 for most new builds, move to gpt-image-1-mini when cost is the first constraint, keep gpt-image-1 only for older integrations, and use chatgpt-image-latest only when you intentionally want the moving ChatGPT image snapshot.
