OpenAI’s ChatGPT Images 2.5 models are now available through Netlify’s AI Gateway and Agent Runners with zero configuration required. Use gpt-image-2.5-flare or gpt-image-2.5-sunburst to generate images for your applications.

Use the OpenAI SDK directly in your Netlify Functions without managing API keys or authentication. AI Gateway handles everything automatically. Here’s an example using the gpt-image-2.5-flare model:

import OpenAI from 'openai';
const ai = new OpenAI();

export default async (req, context) => {
    const response = await ai.images.generate({
        model: 'gpt-image-2.5-flare',
        prompt: 'A golden retriever working at a laptop in a sunny startup office',
        size: '1024x1024',
        quality: 'low',
        output_format: 'jpeg',
        output_compression: 80
    });

    const imageBuffer = Buffer.from(response.data[0].b64_json, 'base64');

    return new Response(imageBuffer, {
        status: 200,
        headers: {
            'content-type': 'image/jpeg',
            'cache-control': 'no-store'
        }
    });
};

Both ChatGPT Images 2.5 models are available across standard Functions, Background Functions, Scheduled Functions, Edge Functions, and Agent Runners. You get automatic access to Netlify’s caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure.

The AI Gateway now supports OpenRouter, giving you access to models from providers beyond Netlify’s direct integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini).

This partnership opens up models from providers like DeepSeek, Meta, Mistral, Qwen, and xAI, all billed through your existing Netlify credits.

Learn more about our OpenRouter partnership through the Netlify blog on open models.

Supported models

For a full list of models available on OpenRouter, visit OpenRouter’s models page.

Note that Netlify only allows requests through OpenRouter for model providers that support a Zero Data Retention (ZDR) policy, meaning your prompts and outputs are never stored nor trained on. Models on OpenRouter that do not have any available provider guaranteeing this policy (at the time of your request) are not available via Netlify.

Set up OpenRouter for AI Gateway

As with the other providers, Netlify automatically injects OPENROUTER_API_KEY and OPENROUTER_BASE_URL into your Netlify Functions, Edge Functions, and Preview Server (unless you’ve already set your own values for either).

You can call an OpenRouter-served model using whichever client you prefer:

• OpenRouter SDK (@openrouter/sdk): pass OPENROUTER_BASE_URL explicitly as serverURL when constructing the client, this is the one exception where the base URL isn’t picked up automatically.
• OpenAI SDK: works out of the box, no extra config. Just pass a model ID in OpenRouter notation (e.g. deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731).
• REST API: call ${OPENROUTER_BASE_URL}/chat/completions with a bearer token from OPENROUTER_API_KEY.

Whichever client you use, you can find model IDs to pass in the OpenRouter models directory.

Note that a model listed in OpenRouter’s directory will not work through the AI Gateway if it does not support a Zero Data Retention (ZDR) policy since Netlify only routes to OpenRouter providers with this support.

GPT-5.6 Luna now costs 80% less and GPT-5.6 Terra is 20% less through Netlify AI Gateway, making both models more cost-efficient for production AI workloads.

These reductions improve the price-performance tradeoff across the GPT-5.6 model family, giving teams more flexibility to choose the right balance of capability and cost for each workload.
