OpenAI is retiring GPT Image 1 (Low, Medium, and High quality tiers). These models will be removed from NightCafe on October 23, 2026.

This is an external change made by OpenAI and is beyond our control. We're sorry to see this model go.

What you'll see in NightCafe

• GPT Image 1 Low, Medium, and High currently show a Gone Soon label in the model picker.
• You can keep using them until October 23, 2026.
• After that date, these models will be unavailable for new creations. Existing creations you already made with them will still be in your account.
