OpenAI Playground: the generated images disappear once the generation is finished

You already got a great example above, but I’m just filling in with docs that may be useful for you and for others who have the same question.

Image generation guide: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-generation

Migrate to Responses: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/migrate-to-responses

From what I understand, if you want OpenAI-hosted image generation/editing in a conversational or multi-turn workflow, the Responses API is the better fit.
