ImageModel is a Spring AI interface for generating images from text prompts through provider-specific implementations, including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Stability, and ZhiPuAI. section 8.3

Generating game artwork

A BurgerBattleArtController builds instructions for a burger, delegates generation to ImageService, and exposes the result through /burgerBattleArt; responses can return a URL or PNG bytes.

How Spring AI in Action covers it

How deep it goes
Explains dependencies, provider selection, injection, outputs, options, and endpoint use without detailing provider internals.
Examples
Demonstrates burger artwork generation through a REST endpoint, returning either an image URL or PNG bytes.
What it assumes
Assumes a Spring application and provider credentials while showing required starters, properties, autoconfiguration, and constructor injection.
What you can do after
Apply it via Spring AI by injecting ImageModel, submitting prompts, and handling generated URLs or image bytes.
How it connects
Connects image generation with Spring AI, Spring Boot autoconfiguration, image prompts, provider APIs, and REST controllers.
