Receive each image as it finishes.

The Image sets API tab includes JSON and SSE examples. With streaming enabled, each completed image arrives in its own event, followed by the completion event and usage.

A maximum, not a fixed count.

The prompt guides the series. Input references and generated outputs together must fit within the 15-image limit. These examples use one reference and request up to three outputs.
