resolution	No	480P, 768P, 1080P	480P	Output size. Higher is sharper, slower and costs more.
prompt_expansion_mode	No	text	balanced	How much effort to spend rewriting the prompt before generation. 'disabled' skips prompt expansion. 'balanced' returns in about a second. 'quality' spends up to ~30s on a richer prompt.
