There are a few configuration options already in place for AI image captioning:

Forum admins can turn on AI image caption features through the setting:  
`ai_helper_enabled_features`:

 ![The image shows an interface with an AI helper enabled, featuring options for selecting tools like "suggestions," "image_captions," and "context_menu" for generating captions.

This allows for the :sparkles: Caption with AI button to appear over images.

You can restrict the “automatic” image captioning feature to specific groups with `ai_auto_image_caption_allowed_groups` setting:

 ![The image shows a table setting with a list of "AI auto image caption allowed groups" and includes options for users to toggle automatic image captioning within "trust_level_0" groups. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/3/e/b3e9ac60ec4293807739a385579683e29507defd.png)

Users in this group can optionally turn it on/off in their user preferences.

To save on tokens you could perhaps only allow a specific group of users to auto caption images (i.e. admins).

Still, not all images will be automatically captioned. There is a criteria for deciding whether an image will be captioned:

- image cannot be small (≤ 0.1 MP)
- image filename is less than 20 chars
- image filename is a single word

We don’t have the ability to customize that criteria at this time.
