  "textContent": "## Background\n\n976x704 is one of the smallest image resolutions you can request with the arbitrary sizes now available with `gpt-image-2` - and my requirement.\n\nsize | quality | output tokens | output cost | aspect ratio\n---|---|---|---|---\n`960x720` | low | 130 | `$0.00390` | 4:3\n`976x704` | low | 129 | `$0.00387` | 1.386\n\n## API Challenge (ChatGPT DQ’d)\n\nYour remaining budget for text input after image output: **$0.00113**\n\nText input costs **$0.000005 per token**.\n\n**220 tokens of text input language** can be sent while staying at exactly **$0.005** or below (after an internal 6 token overhead), half of one US cent.\n\n## Why `size`?\n\nThe particular aspect ratio nearly maximizes the area of an image that you see natively on this forum, from downsizing rules.\n\n976x704 → 690x497\n\n\n# Your challenge\n\nAwesomeness for the price of a rounding error.\n\nStaying under 220 prompt text tokens and\n`{\"size\":\"976x704\", \"quality\":\"low\"}`\n**fascinate us on the cheap**.\n\nNo artifacts, not a preview: pure impressive demonstration that “mini” models can be left behind now by using `gpt-image-2` if you want quick and high-quality even with API’s low quality.\n\nElite entrants are in the $0.004 club: only 20 tokens of input.\n\nhttps://platform.openai.com/tokenizer\n\n> Tip: when you upload an image to the forum in the markdown-based editor, you see:\n>  `![image|690x497](upload://eUgDKei2u9wFyZKQpJPShYYd5Qf.jpeg)`\n>\n> or “image” there is your filename if not a paste. Replace “image” with your prompt, and others can mouse-hover to see the text.\n\n## Prize\n\nStuff to look at. Proud you honestly did it.\n\n* * *\n\n## OOPS - a $0.0058 prompt image is this post in the prompt.",
