Image Generation Capability — Function Report

Date: March 20, 2026
System: Beast (192.168.1.34) — Khra'gixx v4 Lattice
Status: OPERATIONAL


1. Overview

Image generation via Nano Banana Pro (Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image API) is live and wired into the Lattice Observer. This provides on-demand AI image generation accessible to the CTO, the navigator (embodied observer), and any OpenClaw agent — with zero GPU/VRAM impact on the running lattice.


2. Architecture

Key design: The Gemini API call is cloud-based. No local GPU compute. No VRAM contention with the CUDA daemon or Ollama qwen3-vl:8b.


3. Endpoint Specification

6. Access Methods

From any HTTP client (curl, Python, browser):

curl -X POST http://192.168.1.34:28820/generate_image \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "your image description", "filename": "output.png"}'

From OpenClaw (Nano Banana Pro skill):

cd D:\OpenClaw\skills\nano-banana-pro\scripts
set GEMINI_API_KEY=%GEMINI_API_KEY%
uv run generate_image.py --prompt "your description" --filename output.png --resolution 1K

The OpenClaw skill also supports:

  • --resolution 1K|2K|4K — output size control
  • -i image1.png -i image2.png — image editing / multi-image composition (up to 14 inputs)

From the Navigator (via /ask):

The navigator was briefed at turn 616, cycle 13,401,650. It acknowledged and is aware of the /generate_image endpoint.


7. Files Modified / Created
