⚙️ Installation

From Pypi

uv pip install aquiles-image

From source

git clone https://github.com/Aquiles-ai/Aquiles-Image.git
cd Aquiles-Image
uv pip install .

🚀 Launch your Aquiles-Image server

aquiles-image serve --host "0.0.0.0" --port 5500 --model "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-medium"

Note on model compatibility

⚠️ Keep in mind that many of these models require a lot of VRAM to run, choose the model that fits your GPU and has about 10GB left to avoid errors when decoding or saving.

The supported models for the imaging endpoint are: stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3-medium, stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large, stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large-turbo, stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-medium, black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev, black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell, black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Krea-dev

For Edit endpoints (Available, but with some errors that do not guarantee full endpoint functionality): black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Kontext-dev

💻 Start your Aquiles-Image server in dev mode without loading models

Dev mode allows you to start the server without loading any AI models, ideal for rapid development, integration testing, or endpoint validation without requiring GPU or heavy computational resources.

aquiles-image serve --host "0.0.0.0" --port 5500 --no-load-model

What does dev mode do?

• No model loading: Server starts instantly without downloading or loading AI models
• Functional endpoints: All endpoints respond normally with test images
• Realistic responses: Returns valid images that simulate model responses
• Same format: Responses maintain the exact API format (URLs, base64, metadata)

Use cases

• API integration development
• Endpoint testing without GPU
• Workflow validation
• CI/CD environment testing
• Development on machines without GPU resources

Note: Dev mode is for development only. For production, use the normal server with loaded models.

🎉 Generate your first image with Aquiles-Image

from openai import OpenAI
import requests

client = OpenAI(base_url="http://127.0.0.1:5500", api_key="__UNKNOWN__")

result = client.images.generate(
    model="stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-medium",
    prompt="a white siamese cat",
    size="1024x1024"
)

print(f"URL of the generated image: {result.data[0].url}\n")

image_url = result.data[0].url
response = requests.get(image_url)

with open("image.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(response.content)

print(f"Image downloaded successfully\n")
