Product updates

New models, API capabilities, Console improvements, and platform changes.

GPT Image 2, GPT Image 2.5 Flare and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst now run on official-cheap as well, at 60% of the official token rates, and official-cheap is their default route.

API docs rewritten

The API docs now match the live API: endpoints, request fields, async task polling and error codes, with separate image and video guides.

Seedance is billed per output token at the official list price on the official route and at 92% of it on the official-cheap route. Pricing pages show the rates with and without a reference video.
