# 🎨🤖 Kandinsky 2.1: Next-Gen Text-to-Image API

> **Deliver high-quality, AI-generated images from any text prompt—powered by Kandinsky 2.1.**  
> **Seamlessly integrate, customize, and start creating stunning visuals.**

## Overview

**Kandinsky 2.1** represents a major leap in text-to-image generation. It merges the best practices of models like DALL-E 2 and Latent Diffusion with fresh innovations. By using a CLIP model as both text and image encoder, alongside a diffusion image prior, Kandinsky 2.1 offers robust text-guided image generation and manipulation capabilities.

### Key Features

- **State-of-the-Art Architecture**  
  Leverages a CLIP model (XLM-Roberta-Large-ViT-L-14) to encode both text and images, plus a diffusion prior that maps the latent spaces efficiently.

- **Superior Visual Quality**  
  Achieves more precise, visually appealing outputs than previous models, delivering crisp and detailed images.

- **Transformative Diffusion Mapping**  
  Utilizes a powerful transformer with 20 layers, 32 attention heads, and a hidden size of 2048 to handle complex latent space transformations.

- **Large-Scale Training & Fine-Tuning**  
  Trained on the LAION HighRes image-text dataset and further refined with proprietary internal datasets for unmatched diversity and quality.

- **Flexible & Customizable**  
  Users can tweak settings—like image dimensions, number of outputs, negative prompts, and more—to achieve the perfect result for their application.

### Advanced Model Components
- **Text Encoder**: XLM-Roberta-Large-ViT-L-14 (560M parameters)  
- **Diffusion Image Prior**: 1B parameters  
- **CLIP Image Encoder**: ViT-L/14 (427M parameters)  
- **Latent Diffusion U-Net**: 1.22B parameters  
- **MoVQ Encoder/Decoder**: 67M parameters  

> **All data** (including generated images) is stored temporarily and automatically **deleted after 30 minutes** to protect your privacy.

## Use Cases

- **Creative Content Generation**: Design engaging marketing visuals, social media posts, or concept art directly from text prompts.  
- **E-commerce & Product Listings**: Generate product mockups or lifestyle images for your online store.  
- **Game & App Development**: Quickly create concept art, backgrounds, and character designs to speed up your development process.  
- **Advertising & Marketing**: Produce eye-catching campaign images and banners tailored to specific brand messaging.  
- **Artistic Exploration**: Experiment with unique styles, abstract ideas, or conceptual art.

---

## Pricing & Request Consumption

- **One API Unit** is consumed **per generation call** (i.e., each POST to the image generation endpoint).  
- **Status Check** calls (i.e., GET requests to `/status`) are free and unlimited. You can check the status of your job as often as you like.  
- **24/7 Chat Support** is available for all plans, ensuring any questions or issues are resolved swiftly.

## How It Works

### Step 1: Schedule a Job (POST Request)

Send a `POST` request to generate an image. This **consumes one API unit**.

**Request**:
```bash
curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:3000/api/proxy/magicapi/aiForever/image/run' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'x-magicapi-key: <your_api_key>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "width": 512,
  "height": 512,
  "prompt": "red cat, 4k photo",
  "scheduler": "p_sampler",
  "batch_size": 1,
  "prior_steps": "5",
  "output_format": "webp",
  "guidance_scale": 4,
  "output_quality": 80,
  "prior_cf_scale": 4,
  "num_inference_steps": 100
}'
```

**Response**:
```json
{
  "status": "IN_QUEUE",
  "id": "<request_id>"
}
```
- You’ll receive a `<request_id>` to track the image generation progress.

### Step 2: Check Status (GET Request)

Call the `/status` endpoint **as many times as you need**—these calls are **free**.

**Request**:
```bash
curl -X 'GET' \
  'http://localhost:3000/api/proxy/magicapi/aiForever/image/status/<request_id>' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'x-magicapi-key: <your_api_key>'
```

**Response (Completed)**:
```json
{
  "id": "<request_id>",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "output": "data:image/jpeg;base64,<base64_encoded_image>"
}
```
- Once `status` is `COMPLETED`, the response includes your **base64-encoded** image (or a link to the generated image).

### Step 3: Retrieve or Process the Result

- After retrieving the image, you can display, download, or further process it according to your needs.
- The image and related job data will be **automatically deleted after 30 minutes**.

## Input Schema

| Field                | Type      | Required | Default                         | Description                                                                                   |
