When to use
Reach for FLUX.1 Schnell when speed and volume matter more than maximum fidelity: rapid concepting, preview passes, and large batches. The OpenAI-compatible /v1/images/generations endpoint means existing OpenAI-SDK image code works with a base-URL swap, and spend comes from the same balance as your chat calls.
When to use something else
For final-quality product shots or images with heavy in-image text, a larger model like FLUX.2 Pro renders more faithfully. Advanced controls (seed, step count, LoRA) aren't exposed through the basic OpenAI Images parameters yet.
