Gemini 3 Pro Image (Stream)

Google’s Gemini 3 Pro Image (Stream) for image generation via Gemini API. Real-time SSE delivery of thinking and image chunks.

Gemini 3 Pro Image (Stream) generates images using Google’s Gemini 3 Pro Image model through the native Gemini API via AnyFast. Responses are delivered in real-time using Server-Sent Events (SSE), with thinking chunks arriving first followed by the image data chunk.

Streaming requires a Direct group token. Select the Direct group when creating your token in the AnyFast console.

Key capabilities

• SSE Streaming — Real-time delivery of thinking and image chunks
• Thinking mode — Internal reasoning chunks (thought: true) stream before the final image
• Text-to-image — Generate images from text descriptions
• Image editing — Pass a reference image in inline_data alongside your text instruction
• Aspect ratio control — 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16
• Resolution control — 1K (~1024px), 2K (~2048px), 4K (~4096px) on the long edge

SSE response format

The streaming endpoint returns newline-delimited SSE lines. Each line starts with data: followed by a JSON object. There are three chunk types:

1. Thinking chunks — Arrive first; parts[0].thought is true
2. Image chunk — Contains parts[0].inlineData with mimeType and base64 data (note: camelCase in stream response)
3. Final usage chunk — Contains top-level usageMetadata with thoughtsTokenCount and token details

data: {"candidates":[{"content":{"role":"model","parts":[{"text":"...","thought":true}]}}],"usageMetadata":{"trafficType":"ON_DEMAND"},"modelVersion":"gemini-3-pro-image","createTime":"...","responseId":"..."}

data: {"candidates":[{"content":{"role":"model","parts":[{"inlineData":{"mimeType":"image/png","data":"<base64>"}}]}}],...}

data: {"usageMetadata":{"promptTokenCount":8,"candidatesTokenCount":1120,"totalTokenCount":1392,"trafficType":"ON_DEMAND","promptTokensDetails":[{"modality":"TEXT","tokenCount":8}],"candidatesTokensDetails":[{"modality":"IMAGE","tokenCount":1120}],"thoughtsTokenCount":264}}

In the streaming response, the image field is named inlineData (camelCase). In the non-streaming request body, the field is inline_data (snake_case). This is a native Gemini API behaviour.

Text-to-image example

cURL

curl "https://www.anyfast.ai/v1beta/models/gemini-3-pro-image:streamGenerateContent?key=YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "contents": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "parts": [
          { "text": "Generate an image of a sunset over mountains" }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "generationConfig": {
      "responseModalities": ["TEXT", "IMAGE"],
      "imageConfig": {
        "aspectRatio": "16:9",
        "imageSize": "1K"
      }
    }
  }'

Image editing example (with reference image)

Include both a text instruction and an inline_data reference image in the same parts array.

cURL

# First encode your image to base64:
# BASE64=$(base64 -i your_photo.jpg)
#
# Then send the request:
curl "https://www.anyfast.ai/v1beta/models/gemini-3-pro-image:streamGenerateContent?key=YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "contents": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "parts": [
          {
            "text": "Hi, this is a picture of me. Can you add a llama next to me?"
          },
          {
            "inline_data": {
              "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
              "data": "<YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_IMAGE>"
