Commuter boarding a city bus at sunset, reflections on the glass, traffic passing by, low-angle shots of buildings and skyline

Woman dancing alone in her apartment at midnight, Bluetooth speaker playing upbeat music, lights off except for LED strips

Cluttered teenager's bedroom with posters on the wall, open laptop, messy bed and clothes on the floor, natural lighting

Elderly couple eating breakfast together by the window, morning paper, fruit on the table, warm and tender realism

A barista making coffee behind the counter of a small café, espresso machine steaming, pastries in glass display, moody lighting

Grocery store checkout line, people holding baskets, cash register lights, everyday realism with muted tones

Woman reading a book in a window seat during a rainy afternoon, raindrops on the glass, blanket over her legs, peaceful moment

Man looking out his apartment window at the city lights, dim room behind him, a glass of wine in hand

Someone sitting at a quiet park bench during golden hour, fallen leaves, light breeze, birds in the distance

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/luma/photon-flash with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Photon Flash below.

time.sleep(2)Photon Flash is a Luma model for image generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Luma Photon Flash is a Luma text-to-image model that generates images directly from text prompts. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/luma/luma-photon-flash.
Photon Flash starts at $0.005 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `enable_base64_output`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/luma/luma-photon-flash.
Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 4 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Luma). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
