About Bagel · Understand

A vision-language mode: supply an `image_url` and a `prompt` with your question, and the model returns text in the `text` field. A `seed` can be set. Use it for describing or querying image content rather than producing images.

Parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native name, not both. Canonical names
