## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-request AI image generation capability with no subscription commitment, payable in USDC on Base chain — ideal for agents with crypto wallets that need occasional image generation without maintaining a separate API subscription. Useful in x402-compatible payment flows.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance causes a 402 Payment Required response
- Overly complex or policy-violating prompts may be rejected or produce unexpected output
