Can Meta Muse Wonder generate images? It returns text; use /v1/images

Muse Wonder is listed on OpenRouter as a chat-completions model with text responses. It is not in Sume's image catalog; pick an image row instead.

No, not as far as the listing I could read shows. OpenRouter's page for meta/muse-wonder documents a POST /api/v1/chat/completions call: you send messages and get message content and token usage back, with parameters for tools, reasoning and response_format. It describes no image output, and Sume's image catalog does not list a Muse Wonder row.

What the listing shows

I could not read Meta's own model card (the file would not parse in my fetcher), so the facts below come from the OpenRouter page only, and I do not state a release date or price here.

What to call for pictures

Muse Image, a separate Meta product, is covered in a separate post on what Sume lists. For images today, Sume's POST /v1/images takes a catalog id. ChatGPT Image 2.5 is the row with the widest edit controls: mask_url, background and up to 16 references. The sample asks for a transparent PNG asset.

Replace the model id with any row from GET /v1/images/models; unknown ids return 404 model_not_found.

curl -s https://api.sume.com/v1/images \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"openai/gpt-image-2.5","prompt":"flat vector fox mascot","background":"transparent","output_format":"png"}'

Check before you build

  • Search the catalog for the exact model name before you pin an id.
  • Do not assume that a model with an image-capable sibling can draw.
  • Treat a text-only model as a prompt writer at best, and test the result.
