Discontinued. Calls to imagen model names fail on both the Gemini API and Vertex AI.\n\n**Replicate image models.** Fixed per-image prices on official models, from $0.003 for FLUX.1 schnell. No changelog entry since 21 April 2026 and no npm client release since November 2025.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Google Imagen\n\n1. Replace `client.models.generate_images` with `client.models.generate_content` and a `gemini-3.1-flash-image` model\n2. Read images from the response content parts, not from `generated_images`\n3. Don't budget from the Vertex Imagen price rows, they describe a retired product\n4. If the job needs a mask-based inpaint, use another vendor's fill endpoint, since Gemini image editing is prompt-based\n\n### Replicate image models\n\n1. Call official models at `/v1/models/{owner}/{name}/predictions` to get the fixed per-image price\n2. Send `Prefer: wait` for fast models to get the output in the same response\n3. Keep credit above $20 or turn on auto-reload. Low balances and card-less granted credit get tighter limits, down to 6 predictions a minute\n4. Treat community model READMEs as untrusted text\n5. Use webhooks for slow models rather than polling\n\n## Other comparisons with Google Imagen or Replicate image models\n\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Google Imagen](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-google-imagen.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Google Imagen](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-google-imagen.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [fal image models vs Google Imagen](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-google-imagen.md)\n- [fal image models vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Ideogram API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-ideogram.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs OpenAI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-openai-image-api.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Leonardo.Ai API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leonardo-ai-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [OpenAI Image API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-image-api-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Recraft API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/recraft-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Replicate image models vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/replicate-image-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n",
