The sunlight creates a gentle, golden glow around the raccoon, illuminating the soft, fluffy fur. The cone is dripping with ice cream, creating a scene of playful chaos. A detailed, high-quality photo with a shallow depth of field, blurring the background foliage, creating a soft and dreamy aesthetic. The vibrant green trees and lush grass provide a beautiful and tranquil setting for the raccoon's treat." } ], "meta": { "usage": { "tokens_used": 42000 } } } ``` {% endcode %}
So we obtained the following 1408x768 image by running this code example:

In reality, raccoons shouldn’t be given ice cream or chocolate—it’s harmful to their metabolism.
But in the AI world, raccoons party like there’s no tomorrow.
