About this API

Microsoft AI's MAI-Image-2.5 is a high-quality image generation model available via Azure AI Foundry. It produces photorealistic and artistic images from text prompts with support for various aspect ratios.

Provider-supplied description, not an independently validated performance claim.

These are the catalogue’s token tariffs. Image, audio, video, search and other charges may use different billing units. Zero token rates alone do not mean those services are free. See the complete pricing fields below and the source model page.

Pros and useful characteristics

Published output token pricing is at or below the same-modality catalogue median.
No separate per-request fee is listed in this catalogue observation. Other modality charges may apply.
The upstream model accepts image inputs according to its catalogue. This gateway currently accepts text only.

Cons and practical limits

Published input token pricing is above the median of catalogue entries with the same output modalities and known tariffs.
The published context window is 4,096 tokens; larger documents may need splitting.
Catalogue only · output not supported by the text API. View the source model page for its API requirements.
No independent latency, uptime, reasoning-quality or coding benchmark has been measured by this application.

Assessment uses published fields and unweighted price medians across 43 entries with the same output modalities and known tariffs. It is a cost-and-capability comparison, not a quality ranking or recommendation.

Observed price history

Source fields are retained exactly, including extra charges and tier overrides. Negative values indicate variable pricing, not rebates. An absent field is not evidence that a service is free.
