# Imagegen Status — 2026-05-06 07:05 EDT

## Result: Imagegen blocked tonight

All 3 configured image models failed:

- `google/gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview` — no API key configured
- `minimax/image-01` — plan does not support this model
- `openai/gpt-image-1` — **billing hard limit reached**

## What we have

- WAVE-A-PROMPTS.md is complete (PR #13) — 18 prompts ready to feed into any working imagegen
- Style lock + brand sheet in place (PR #18)
- Once Eric resolves billing or adds Google API key, all 18 prompts can be batched and saved to `wave-a-source/`

## Recommended next step for Eric

1. Top up OpenAI billing (gpt-image-1)
2. Or add Google AI Studio API key for gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview
3. Then re-dispatch swarm5 or run from orchestrator with WAVE-A-PROMPTS.md
