  Leonardo.AI is an Australian generative-AI company (acquired by Canva in July 2024) offering a Production API for AI
  image generation, video generation, 3D model creation, custom model and element training, realtime canvas editing,
  upscaling and variations, and Blueprint workflow execution. The platform supports in-house Leonardo models (Phoenix,
  Lucid Origin, Lucid Realism) and third-party models (FLUX.1/FLUX.2, Ideogram 3.0, GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedream,
  Kling, LTX, Veo, Seedance, Hailuo, Rodin) under a unified pay-as-you-go dollar-denominated API surface with webhook
  callbacks, MCP server integration, and official Python and TypeScript SDKs.

      Create image generations with FLUX.2 Pro, FLUX Dev, FLUX Schnell, FLUX.1 Kontext, Phoenix, Lucid Origin, Lucid
      Realism, Ideogram 3.0, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana, Seedream, and other supported models. POST /generations submits a
      job; results are retrieved via GET /generations/{id} or via the optional webhook callback. Supports PhotoReal,
      Alchemy, image prompts, image guidance (ControlNet), enhanced prompts, transparency, and per-model knobs.
