## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fal-ai-queue-seedream-5-lite-text-to-image-05d710ac -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an image of a serene Japanese garden at sunrise with cherry blossoms reflected in a koi pond, painted in a soft watercolor style using the Seedream 5 Lite model — submit it to the queue and give me the result when it's ready.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need a lightweight, cost-efficient version of the Seedream 5 image generation model and can tolerate async queue-based delivery. Choose Seedream 5 Lite over Seedream 5 Pro when lower cost matters more than maximum quality. Use the async queue approach (this endpoint) over synchronous alternatives when generation time may exceed 100 seconds. Best suited for batch creative workflows, mood boards, concept art, and illustrative content where near-real-time response is not required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing text prompt causes request rejection
- Queue overload may result in extended wait times before processing
- Dynamic pricing fluctuations may cause payment authorization issues
- Generated image may not match prompt due to model limitations
- Polling timeout if the agent does not wait long enough for async completion
- Content policy violations in the prompt may result in refusal or filtered output

## How this service works

Seedream 5 lite text-to-image (dynamic pricing)

## Output

Returns a request ID immediately upon queue submission. Once processed, the result contains one or more generated image URLs along with metadata such as dimensions and generation parameters. The agent must poll the status endpoint using the request ID to retrieve the final image when processing completes.
