design-explore/image-maker: use free Ming Image 0.1 Design via /api/v1/images
- Ming (inclusionai/ming-image-0.1-design) is free and built for graphic-design output with legible in-image text; now the preferred mockup model. - Ming is a true image-generation model: the chat/completions endpoint rejects it (HTTP 404). Documented the /api/v1/images call + base64 decode recipe. - Kept paid chat-image models as a documented fallback. - Fixed the API key location: OPENROUTER_API_KEY is in /home/sam/.secrets, NOT ~/.config/environment.d/10-secrets.conf as the old text claimed.

**Prefer `inclusionai/ming-image-0.1-design` — it is FREE.**

|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|

| `inclusionai/ming-image-0.1-design` | `/api/v1/images` | **free** | inclusionAI text-to-image for graphic design; excellent legible text rendering inside the image. Best default for UI mockups. |

⚠️ Endpoint matters. Most image models are chat models that return `choices[0].message.images[0].image_url.url`. **Ming is not** — it is a true image-generation model and the chat endpoint rejects it with HTTP 404 (`"... is an image generation model and cannot be used with the chat/completions endpoint"`). Ming must use `/api/v1/images`.

## API Key
|
||||
Get OPENROUTER_API_KEY from `~/.config/environment.d/10-secrets.conf` (source it first).
|
||||
|
||||
`OPENROUTER_API_KEY` lives in **`/home/sam/.secrets`** (a plain `KEY=value` file). Load it with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
set -a; . /home/sam/.secrets; set +a
|
||||
echo "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY:+key loaded}"

```

||||
It is NOT in `~/.config/environment.d/10-secrets.conf` — older versions of this file claimed that and the call failed.
