Wan 2.2 T2I Flash

wanwan/wan2.2-t2i-flash

Wan 2.2 text-to-image — fast tier, async via /v1/jobs.

wan2.2-t2i-flash is the fast tier of Alibaba's Wan 2.2 text-to-image model. It generates images from text prompts at $0.04 per image — the right default for high-volume creative work, thumbnails, social-post variants, and exploratory iteration.

Image generation runs asynchronously: submit a job to `/v1/jobs` and receive an `img_`-prefixed job ID, then poll until the job completes and fetch the resulting URL. This pattern follows OpenAI's async job convention — your existing SDK helpers should work with a model-ID swap.

$0.04 per image
Fast tier of Wan 2.2. Designed to absorb bulk and exploratory generation runs.
Async via /v1/jobs
Submit → poll → fetch URL. Job IDs are prefixed with `img_`. Same flow as other TheRouter async jobs.
Text-to-image
Pure text-prompt → image generation. No image-conditioning input on this tier.
Dual-region routing
Selector picks bailian-cn or bailian-sg per request based on cost.
When to use
Bulk image generation, social-post variants, thumbnail generation, exploratory prompt iteration, and any workload where you trade some fidelity for throughput and cost.
When not to use
Hero imagery, marketing keyframes, or final-delivery creative — step up to wan2.2-t2i-plus for higher fidelity.
Pricing: $0.04 per generated image. Billed per successful image, not per prompt token. TheRouter routes to the cheaper of bailian-cn / bailian-sg per request.

API Usage Examples

Use the global api.therouter.ai endpoint shown below for new integrations; the legacy China accelerated endpoint is retired.

Recommended: use the async API

Image generation typically takes 30–180s, beyond the edge sync timeout. The examples below use the ?async=true submit + poll pattern. Read the full async image generation & edit guide →

cURL
# 1) Submit job (returns 202 immediately with a polling URL).
# Image generation takes 30-180s — always use the async path in production.

    "prompt": "A cinematic product render with soft studio lighting"
  }' | python3 -c "import sys,json;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['id'])")
echo "submitted: $JOB"

# 2) Poll until terminal (succeeded / failed / cancelled / expired).
