Image generation

As explained in Spring AI in Action

Image generation is the production of images by an AI model from textual or other input specifications.

Image generation produces images from textual instructions. Spring AI exposes this capability through the ImageModel interface, with implementations for OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Stability AI, and ZhiPuAI. section 8.3

A service can inject ImageModel and return either a generated image URL or the image bytes. ImagePrompt and ImageOptions support provider requests, while Spring Boot autoconfiguration supplies the selected implementation. section 8.3

A typical integration proceeds as follows:

Add the provider starter when using Azure OpenAI, Stability AI, or ZhiPuAI; OpenAI requires no additional dependency in the described setup. section 8.3
Expose generation through application code, returning a URL for browser access or bytes that can be saved as a PNG file. section 8.3

Generating Burger Battle artwork

A REST controller builds instructions for a named burger and delegates generation to ImageService. Calling /burgerBattleArt?burger=Cowboy returns a generated image URL; requesting image/png can save the Sunrise result to sunrise.png.
