+- `openai/gpt-image-2.5/flare/text-to-image`
+- `openai/gpt-image-2.5/sunburst/text-to-image`
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+hermes config set image_gen.provider fal
+hermes config set image_gen.model openai/gpt-image-2.5/flare/text-to-image
+```
+
+Providing `image_url` or reference images automatically selects the corresponding
+`openai/gpt-image-2.5/flare/edit` or `openai/gpt-image-2.5/sunburst/edit` endpoint.
+Both accept up to 16 source images. Hermes pins quality to `medium`, matching its
+existing FAL GPT Image policy rather than FAL's higher-cost `high` default.
+Landscape and portrait use 4:3 presets to satisfy the minimum pixel count;
+square uses `square_hd`. Upscaling remains off unless requested.
+
+FAL bills by tokens, not a fixed image price: $5/M text input, $1.25/M cached
+text input, $10/M text output, $8/M image input, $2/M cached image input, and
+$30/M image output, rounded up to $0.0001 per request. See the

+[Sunburst](https://fal.ai/models/openai/gpt-image-2.5/sunburst/text-to-image)

+depends on that gateway's endpoint allowlist and is not implied by FAL availability.
