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.

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.

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=AIzaSyBAqdK7ThVcct7pzgaqXR09resrao6j8ro
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.
