About the model

This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.

#### An image from a description

MiniMax image-01 creates a new image from a text description. A character or object, surroundings and image style can be specified. This Ailoot card accepts text and returns an image; the description defines the future scene's content and composition.

#### Working with a character's appearance

The manufacturer's model capabilities also include generation using a visual character reference. One source image with a clearly distinguishable main subject helps transfer its characteristic features into a new scene alongside a text description. The manufacturer recommends a single front-facing portrait; one reference per request is supported.

JPG, JPEG and PNG images under **10 MB** are declared for this source image. The generation method available in this card is text-based; reference capability belongs to image-01 and does not automatically expand the request's input.

#### Proportions and sizes

Eight aspect ratios are provided for image-01: **1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 9:16 and 21:9**. They cover square, landscape, portrait and wide compositions. Their standard sizes are respectively 1024×1024, 1280×720, 1152×864, 1248×832, 832×1248, 864×1152, 720×1280 and 1344×576 pixels.

The manufacturer also allows width and height to be specified together: **512 to 2048 pixels** each, in multiples of 8. When both an aspect ratio and separate dimensions are supplied, the aspect ratio takes precedence.

#### Number of variations and generation parameters

The model's capabilities include **1 to 9 images** per request; one is created by default. The text description is limited to **1500 characters**. Automatic prompt optimization is provided and initially disabled, along with a random seed: the same seed and parameters are used for result repeatability.

A generation result is an image or a set of images. The manufacturer provides for transfer of the data itself and obtaining a file; if some variations are not generated, the number of successful results is counted separately. The listed sizes and settings describe model capabilities; the parameters available to a specific request are determined by the Ailoot card.

### Receive and save results

#### Ailoot · Images

Download each returned image or save its Base64 contents

- `GET /v1/media/tasks/{task_id}`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}/content`
- `GET /v1/media/assets`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}`

##### Keep all completed results

Save every completed image; retrieve each returned URL or decode its Base64 contents.

Save every data item. Decode each b64\_json or fetch every returned signed URL. Select a filename extension from the actual MIME/bytes.

##### If the original response needs checking

If an image generation or edit result requires a check, keep the original operation\_id/X-Client-Request-ID and returned result information. Recover existing owned results through the media library using actual task\_id or asset\_id values. Do not resubmit the generation/edit request or construct a polling URL from operation\_id.

Response fields

| Field | Type |
| --- | --- |
| Field`created` | Typeinteger |
| Field`data[].url` | Typestring |
| Field`data[].b64_json` | Typebase64 string |
| Field`usage` | Typeobject |

Errors and next steps

| Response | Condition | Next step |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Response400 · `invalid_request_error` | ConditionInvalid required fields, material representation or parameter value | Next stepCorrect the indicated fields before a new creation request. |
| Response`server_error` | ConditionThe returned response says the operation or result requires a check | Next stepKeep the original returned operation/task ID, request headers and response; continue supported reads of that original operation. Do not resubmit the creation request. |

### Receive and save results

#### Ailoot · Images

Download each returned image or save its Base64 contents

- `GET /v1/media/tasks/{task_id}`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}/content`
- `GET /v1/media/assets`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}`

##### Keep all completed results

Save every completed image; retrieve each returned URL or decode its Base64 contents.

Save every data item. Decode each b64\_json or fetch every returned signed URL. Select a filename extension from the actual MIME/bytes.

##### If the original response needs checking

If an image generation or edit result requires a check, keep the original operation\_id/X-Client-Request-ID and returned result information. Recover existing owned results through the media library using actual task\_id or asset\_id values. Do not resubmit the generation/edit request or construct a polling URL from operation\_id.

### Receive and save results

#### Ailoot · Images

Download each returned image or save its Base64 contents

- `GET /v1/media/tasks/{task_id}`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}/content`
- `GET /v1/media/assets`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}`

##### Keep all completed results

Save every completed image; retrieve each returned URL or decode its Base64 contents.

Save every data item. Decode each b64\_json or fetch every returned signed URL. Select a filename extension from the actual MIME/bytes.

##### If the original response needs checking

If an image generation or edit result requires a check, keep the original operation\_id/X-Client-Request-ID and returned result information. Recover existing owned results through the media library using actual task\_id or asset\_id values. Do not resubmit the generation/edit request or construct a polling URL from operation\_id.

Response fields

| Field | Type |
| --- | --- |
| Field`created` | Typeinteger |
| Field`data[].url` | Typestring |
| Field`data[].b64_json` | Typebase64 string |
| Field`usage` | Typeobject |

Errors and next steps

| Response | Condition | Next step |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Response400 · `invalid_request_error` | ConditionInvalid required fields, material representation or parameter value | Next stepCorrect the indicated fields before a new creation request. |
| Response`server_error` | ConditionThe returned response says the operation or result requires a check | Next stepKeep the original returned operation/task ID, request headers and response; continue supported reads of that original operation. Do not resubmit the creation request. |
