Introduction
Generation, upscale, erase, outpaint and structure/style controls are packaged as production APIs rather than standalone models.

Release and use
The 2024 Image Services API presents image making as a set of services rather than a single text-to-image model. The research master records 21 March for the developer-platform suite. Its original link is a changing product index, so today’s endpoints are not all attributed to that date.
Section sources: Image Services API
Change in creative practice
Modular calls place generation, editing and subsequent processing within automated workflows. Research should trace operation order and input–output relationships: one picture may pass through multiple services whose software layers share control. A foundation-model name alone does not adequately describe this process.
