What it wrote
The image is an illustration of a young woman with long dark hair and bangs. She is wearing a pink blouse with a purple ribbon tied around her neck and a purple skirt. She has a white bandage wrapped around her arm and is standing in front of a green background with yellow flowers and leaves scattered around her. The woman is smiling and has her arms stretched out to the sides.

API
Run Describe image from the API
curl https://imference.com/tools/describe \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $IMFERENCE_API_KEY" \ -F image=@image.png
Files go in multipart fields named after the inputs; JSON works too, with {"inputs": {...}, "params": {...}} and https URLs or base64 data: URIs. The answer is a request_id: poll GET /status?request_id=... until it returns the outputs. Pay per call from a wallet instead at POST /ondemand/tools/describe. A run that fails is refunded to your credits. Details in the reference.
