## Model Overview

A state-of-the-art image generation model that utilizes a 12 billion parameter rectified flow transformer architecture. It is designed to generate high-quality images from textual descriptions, making it a powerful tool for developers and creatives.

## Quick Example

Let's generate an image using a simple prompt.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Python" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```python
import requests
import json  # for getting a structured output with indentation

def main():
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations",
        headers={
            # Insert your AIML API Key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
            "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        json={
            "model": "flux/dev",
            "prompt": "A T-Rex relaxing on a beach, lying on a sun lounger and wearing sunglasses.",
        }
    )

    data = response.json()
    print(json.dumps(data, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="JS" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```javascript
async function main() {
  const response = await fetch('https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations', {
    method: 'POST',

    body: JSON.stringify({
      model: 'flux/dev',
      prompt: 'A T-Rex relaxing on a beach, lying on a sun lounger and wearing sunglasses.',
    }),
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
}

main();
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
