Image generation

SDXL (Stable Diffusion XL) is Stability AI's high-resolution text-to-image model. It renders a text prompt as a detailed image and is a popular open base for a wide range of styles.

It is served through Hormouz behind an asynchronous predictions API. Submit a prediction, then poll until the image is ready. The required input is a prompt; optional controls include a negative_prompt, explicit width and height (both default 1024) and num_inference_steps (default 50) to trade speed for quality.

Pricing is a flat $0.01 per run, so generation is inexpensive and predictable. Hormouz provides stable access to SDXL from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
