Excerpt

Image generation

image_generate turns a text prompt into an image (and can edit existing images). It routes through the Hive image service to OpenAI's gpt-image-2; the cost is billed to the user's Hive credits exactly like an LLM call, so there is no API key to configure. Each generated image is also saved to disk.

The call
