# GEDX402 Flux-1-Schnell Image Generation

> GEDX402 Flux-1-Schnell Image Generation is a paid API for AI agents from ged-x402-image.jvalamis.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Generates images from text prompts using the Flux-1-Schnell diffusion model, paid per-call with USDC via x402 protocol — no API keys required.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 gedx402-flux-1-schnell-image-generation-4a8f2750
```

Example prompt: Generate a photorealistic image of a red fox sitting in a snowy forest at dusk — make it 1024x768 pixels with 20 diffusion steps for maximum quality.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, on-demand text-to-image generation without API key registration, want to pay per-call with USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, World, or Solana, and specifically want the Flux-1-Schnell model's speed-quality tradeoff. Prefer over alternatives when the agent environment supports x402 micropayments natively.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid prompt (empty or missing) — returns 400 Bad Request
- num_steps out of range (must be 1–20) — returns 400 validation error
- Unsupported width/height values for the model — may return 400 or produce unexpected output
- Network timeout on Workers AI backend — returns 5xx error
- Unsupported blockchain network for payment — payment fails before request is processed

## How this service works
