## 🔧 Imagen Fallback Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Environment Variables
|
|
The Imagen fallback system can be configured using environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Master switch for Imagen fallback
|
|
IMAGEN_FALLBACK_ENABLED=true
|
|
|
|
# Automatic fallback on Gemini failures
|
|
IMAGEN_AUTO_FALLBACK=true
|
|
|
|
# Preferred Imagen model
|
|
IMAGEN_MODEL=imagen-4.0-generate-001
|
|
|
|
# Number of images to generate
|
|
IMAGEN_MAX_IMAGES=1
|
|
|
|
# Image quality (1K or 2K)
|
|
IMAGEN_QUALITY=1K
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Fallback Triggers
|
|
The system automatically falls back to Imagen when:
|
|
- Gemini API quota is exceeded
|
|
- Gemini API returns 403/429 errors
|
|
- Gemini client creation fails
|
|
- Gemini returns no images
|
|
- All Gemini retries are exhausted
|
|
|
|
### Prompt Optimization
|
|
- Automatically removes Gemini-specific formatting
|
|
- Enhances prompts for LinkedIn professional content
|
|
- Ensures prompts fit within Imagen's 480 token limit
|
|
- Adds context-specific enhancements (tech, business, etc.)
|
|
|
|
## 🔮 Future Enhancements
|
|
|
|
1. **Multiple AI Providers**: Additional fallback services beyond Imagen
|
|
2. **Advanced Caching**: Intelligent image caching and reuse
|
|
3. **Batch Processing**: Multiple image generation in parallel
|
|
4. **Style Transfer**: AI-powered image style customization
|
|
5. **Performance Monitoring**: Real-time performance metrics
|
|

|
|
**Note**: The current limitation with Gemini API quotas is temporary and expected with free tier usage. The backend infrastructure is production-ready and will work immediately once quota limits reset or when upgraded to a paid plan.
