One prompt, one request per model, no retries and no cherry-picking - the first result each model returned. Neither size nor duration was pinned: each model used its own default, because a request shaped to fit all of them would flatter none. Files here are re-encoded for the web, so judge composition and prompt adherence, not compression.

OpenAI-compatible: swap the base_url, keep your SDK. POST /v1/images/generations

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://synthorai.io/v1",
    api_key="sk-syn-...",
)

resp = client.images.generate(
    model="qwen-image-2.0",

)
print(resp.data[0].b64_json[:80])

About qwen-image-2.0

  • Versus the original Qwen-Image, the official announcement highlights a lighter architecture with faster inference, native 2K-resolution output, and markedly stronger typography: it follows instructions up to 1k tokens to generate professional infographics such as PPT slides, posters, and comics directly.
  • Custom width and height are supported within the documented pixel range, from 512x512 up to a 2048x2048 default, across presets for 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 and 3:4, with one to six images per request, negative prompts up to 500 characters, an optional watermark, and prompt expansion on by default.
  • Editing runs through the same model id rather than a separate endpoint: supply one to three reference images and the documented operations cover precise edits to text inside an image, adding, removing or moving objects, changing a subject's pose, transferring style, and enhancing detail.
  • Two API facts are worth planning around.
  • This model is synchronous only, returning results in a single request with no async task flow and no streaming, and the difference from the Pro tier is stated as quality rather than capability: identical limits, with this variant balancing quality against response speed.
  • Synthorai offers it for image generation through its OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
