A: Please let me know what specific task you're trying to accomplish with a transparent background in GPT Image 2. If this model doesn't currently support what you need, we can suggest an alternative approach to achieve the desired result.

We are already preparing a fix to speed things up — the slow generation time is not because we're using a cheaper model, but due to high load on the official GPT Image 2.0 API (the model is very popular, and many users are generating at the same time). We are using the official API — no substitution is happening. Once the load decreases or we optimize the queue, speed will return to normal.
