Quick Start

Text-to-Image

from together import Together
client = Together()

response = client.images.generate(
    prompt="A serene mountain landscape at sunset with a lake reflection",
    model="black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
    steps=4,
)
print(f"Image URL: {response.data[0].url}")

import Together from "together-ai";
const together = new Together();

const response = await together.images.generate({
  prompt: "A serene mountain landscape at sunset with a lake reflection",
  model: "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
  steps: 4,
});
console.log(response.data[0].url);

curl -X POST "https://api.together.xyz/v1/images/generations" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOGETHER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell","prompt":"A serene mountain landscape","steps":4}'

Image Editing (Kontext)

Transform existing images using a reference:

response = client.images.generate(
    model="black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-kontext-pro",
    prompt="Transform this into a watercolor painting",
    image_url="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/05/20/08/27/cat-5195431_1280.jpg",
    width=1024,
    height=768,
)

import Together from "together-ai";
const together = new Together();

const response = await together.images.generate({
  model: "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-kontext-pro",
  width: 1024,
  height: 768,
  prompt: "Transform this into a watercolor painting",
  image_url: "https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/05/20/08/27/cat-5195431_1280.jpg",
});

curl -X POST "https://api.together.xyz/v1/images/generations" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOGETHER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-kontext-pro",
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 768,
    "prompt": "Transform this into a watercolor painting",
    "image_url": "https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/05/20/08/27/cat-5195431_1280.jpg"
  }'

Multiple Variations

response = client.images.generate(
    prompt="A cute robot assistant",
    model="black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
    n=4,
    steps=4,
)
for i, img in enumerate(response.data):
    print(f"Variation {i+1}: {img.url}")

Base64 Response

response = client.images.generate(
    model="black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
    prompt="a cat in outer space",
    response_format="base64",
)
print(response.data[0].b64_json)

import Together from "together-ai";
const together = new Together();

const response = await together.images.generate({
  model: "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
  prompt: "a cat in outer space",
  response_format: "base64",
});
console.log(response.data[0].b64_json);

curl -X POST "https://api.together.xyz/v1/images/generations" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOGETHER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
    "prompt": "a cat in outer space",
    "response_format": "base64"
  }'

Parameters

Notes:

• Schnell and Kontext models use aspect_ratio; FLUX.1 Pro/Dev use width/height
• Dimensions should be multiples of 8

Common Dimensions

Steps Guide

• 1-4 steps: Fast preview (Schnell)
• 6-12 steps: Good quality
• 20-30 steps: High quality
• 30-50 steps: Maximum quality (diminishing returns)
