Replacement for gpt-image-1-mini

We have a service that we don’t care about having the highest quality image and want something just approximating our prompt, we built this up around gpt-image-1-mini because we found it the right balance of understanding the input image with a good cost. But gpt-image-1-mini is now being deprecated, and the next alternatives are almost 5x the cost. We could handle a little bit higher price, but 5x is going to force us to find a different platform/model. So my question is, are there plans to release a gpt-image-2-mini or any other efficient small model with reduced cost? We have no use for the high quality generation of the full model.
