# Qwen-Image — hosted API access

This repository is **not the model weights** — it documents running **Qwen-Image** through a
hosted API on **[apimodels.app](https://apimodels.app)**, a multi-model gateway where one key and one
OpenAI-compatible endpoint reach 110+ image, video, audio and language models.

- Original model & weights: **https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen-Image**
- Authors: the Qwen team (Alibaba)
- License: Apache-2.0

Independent hosted-API integration. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the authors; does not
redistribute their weights. All credit for the model is theirs.

## What it does

A strong open image model, notably good at rendering readable text and complex layouts. Generate 1K/2K images from a prompt.

*A sample produced through the apimodels.app API.*

## Use it via API

On apimodels.app the model is served as **qwen3-image (base) and qwen3-image-pro (higher quality)**. Get a key at https://apimodels.app, then:

```bash
# text-to-image (sync: pass a WxH size, get the image inline)
curl -X POST https://api.apimodels.app/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "model": "qwen3-image", "prompt": "a cozy bookstore cafe, warm light", "size": "1360x768" }'
```
