When is SDXL Turbo the right call?

Curated from catalog capabilities and published prices, not a benchmark.

When to use

Reach for SDXL Turbo when you want the cheapest, fastest image path: preview thumbnails, quick iteration, and very high-volume passes where per-image cost dominates. Existing OpenAI-SDK image code works with a base-URL swap.

  • Text-to-image at a flat $0.003 per image
  • Existing OpenAI Images API code, after a base URL swap
  • One key and balance for chat and images

When to use something else

SDXL is an older architecture; for modern fidelity, prompt adherence, and in-image text, prefer FLUX.1 Schnell or FLUX.2 Pro. Advanced controls aren't exposed through the basic OpenAI Images parameters yet.
