The endpoint returns newline-delimited Server-Sent Events. Thinking chunks (thought=true) are sent first, then image chunks with inlineData, then a usage chunk. ## OpenAPI ````yaml en/api-reference/model-api/google/openapi/gemini-2-5-flash-image-stream/openapi.yaml POST /v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash-image:streamGenerateContent openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (streaming) description: Call Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image streaming image generation version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://ai.cubeuaeai.com security: [] paths: /v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash-image:streamGenerateContent: post: summary: Image generation (streaming) description: > Generate an image with Gemini 2.5 Flash Image in SSE streaming mode.
