### Model Selection Tips

1. **Start with Nano Banana Pro** - Good balance for most use cases
2. **Use Flux 2 Max for final assets** - When quality is critical
3. **Choose GPT Image 2 for Canvas** - When you need advanced editing or flexible aspect ratios
4. **Use Z-Image Turbo for speed** - When iterating quickly
5. **Check input limits** - Ensure the model supports your image count needs

### Auto-Switching Behavior

The system automatically switches between text-to-image and edit variants:

* **No images attached** → Text-to-image variant
* **Images attached** → Edit variant (if available)
* **Manual override** → You can manually select variants
