Objective

Enhance ClassifAI's image processing capabilities by integrating Google's Imagen (where there's a feature overlap between ClassifAI and Imagen).

Integration Details

1. API Access:

   • Gemini API: Google Imagen is accessible through the Gemini API. Developers can generate images by sending text prompts to the API. Detailed documentation and code examples are available in the Gemini API documentation.

2. Authentication:

   • API Key: Access to the Gemini API requires an API key. Users can obtain this key by signing up through the Google AI Studio.

3. Pricing and Free Tier:

   • Free Tier Availability: While the Gemini API "free tier" is offered through the API service with lower rate limits for testing purposes, the Imagen 3 model is only currently available via a paid tier. Otherwise, Google AI Studio usage is completely free in all available countries.
   • Paid Access: As of February 2025, Imagen 3 is available to paid users at a rate of $0.03 per image. Details are outlined in the Gemini API pricing page. The Gemini API "paid tier" comes with higher rate limits, additional features, and different data handling.
