This chapter hands the drawing to a model: you send a sentence, and ten seconds and half a US cent later an image API returns a picture. BookNest's sign, cover art and icons come from such calls. Every image here is the real output of a real call, shown with its prompt, model, quality and cost, and logged against a US$5 budget as Pricing and Budget teaches.
What you will learn
How image models work, and how to call, edit with and stream OpenAI 86 's from Node.js 2,131 , Python and a backend.
How to price every call before you make it, and what moderation, provenance and copyright mean for your images.
When to use another service, a local model or Meshy 20,231 's 3D generator instead.
