How to call the MOSS-Image Turbo API

MOSS-Image Turbo runs through POST /v1/images/generations. The request returns a job_id right away; poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} until the job completes and read the output URLs from the result. Or add "sync": true to skip polling: the request stays open and returns the finished OpenAI-style image response directly, so OpenAI SDKs work as-is. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.

curl https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "moss-image-turbo",
    "prompt": "Describe what you want MOSS-Image Turbo to generate."
  }'

curl https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/jobs/JOB_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY"

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/images/generations",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY"},
    json={
        "model": "moss-image-turbo",
        "prompt": "Describe what you want MOSS-Image Turbo to generate.",
    },
)
job = response.json()

# Generation runs as an async job. Poll until it completes.
import time
while True:
    status = requests.get(
        f"https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/jobs/{job['job_id']}",
        headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY"},
    ).json()
    if status.get("status") in ("completed", "failed"):
        print(status)
        break
    time.sleep(5)

MOSS-Image Turbo API parameters

Request parameters supported by the MOSS-Image Turbo API on EmpirioLabs. Defaults apply when a field is omitted.

Good to know

Generates images from text, with accurate English and Chinese text in signs, posters, labels, and layouts.

Input

• A text prompt of up to 4,000 characters. Image inputs, negative prompts, and LoRA adapters are not supported.
• Size from aspect_ratio (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, or 2:3), from size as WIDTHxHEIGHT, or from width and height. Each side is a multiple of 16 from 512 to 2,048 pixels, and width x height is at most 1,048,576 pixels. The default is 1024x1024.
• Up to 4 images per request with num_images.

Output

• WebP by default, or PNG or JPEG with format.
• A signed URL by default, or base64 with response_format set to b64_json.
• Each image carries the seed it used.

Content safety

Generated images pass an automated content-safety check. An image flagged as explicit is not returned. Because the image is generated before the check runs, a flagged generation is still billed.

Weights

• INT8.
