No new image model we could date since SD 3.5 Flash in July 2025.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Bria API\n\n1. Send the key in the `api_token` header, not as `Authorization: Bearer`. Only `/v2/image/verify` and `/v2/video/verify` work without it\n2. Expect `202` with `request_id` and `status_url` from v2 endpoints. Poll `GET /v2/status/{request_id}` every 1 to 2 seconds, or pass `sync: true`\n3. Status polls count towards the per-endpoint limit (10 a minute on Free, 60 on Pay-as-you-go), so prefer `webhook_url` for batches\n4. Download results promptly. Image URLs expire after 3 days by default, and legacy `/v1/product/*` results after 1 hour\n5. Do not resend a failed `POST` blindly. There is no idempotency key, and the SDKs retry status polls only\n\n### Stability AI Image API\n\n1. Send `accept: image/*` to get bytes back, or `application/json` for base64\n2. Stay under 150 requests every 10 seconds. A 429 locks you out for 60 seconds\n3. Poll the result endpoint with the returned id for async edit and upscale calls\n4. Use Stable Image Core or SD 3.5 Flash for drafts, Ultra for finals\n5. Send multipart form data, not JSON\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Bria API or Stability AI Image API?\n\nBria API scores 63.7 (B) on agent readiness against Stability AI Image API's 42.3 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Stability AI Image API leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Bria API and Stability AI Image API need an API key?\n\nBria API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Stability AI Image API needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Bria API and Stability AI Image API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Bria API has a hosted endpoint at https://engine.prod.bria-api.com/v2 and Stability AI Image API at https://api.stability.ai/v2beta.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bria-vs-stability-ai-image.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bria-vs-stability-ai-image.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"bria\", \"b\": \"stability-ai-image\"}`.
