+**Provider Notes**:
+- Azure OpenAI: `--model` means Azure deployment name, not the underlying model family.
+- DashScope: `qwen-image-2.0-pro` is the recommended default for custom `--size`, `21:9`, and strong Chinese/English text rendering.
+- MiniMax: `image-01` supports documented custom `width` / `height`; `image-01-live` is lower latency and works best with `--ar`.
+- MiniMax reference images are sent as `subject_reference`; the current API is specialized toward character / portrait consistency.
+- Jimeng does not support reference images.
+- Seedream reference images are supported by Seedream 5.0 / 4.5 / 4.0, not Seedream 3.0.
 
 **Provider Auto-Selection**:
-1. If `--provider` specified → use it
-2. If only one API key available → use that provider
-3. If multiple available → default to Google
+1. If `--provider` is specified → use it

+### MiniMax Models
+
+Use `--model image-01` or set `default_model.minimax` / `MINIMAX_IMAGE_MODEL` when the user wants MiniMax image generation.
+
+Official MiniMax image model options currently documented in the API reference:
+
+- `image-01` (recommended default)
+  - Supports text-to-image and subject-reference image generation
+  - Supports official `aspect_ratio` values: `1:1`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `3:2`, `2:3`, `3:4`, `9:16`, `21:9`
+  - Supports documented custom `width` / `height` output sizes when using `--size <WxH>`
+  - `width` and `height` must both be between `512` and `2048`, and both must be divisible by `8`
+- `image-01-live`
+  - Lower-latency variant
+  - Use `--ar` for sizing; MiniMax documents custom `width` / `height` as only effective for `image-01`
+
+MiniMax subject reference notes:
+
+- `--ref` files are sent as MiniMax `subject_reference`
+- MiniMax docs currently describe `subject_reference[].type` as `character`
+- Official docs say `image_file` supports public URLs or Base64 Data URLs; `baoyu-image-gen` sends local refs as Data URLs
+- Official docs recommend front-facing portrait references in JPG/JPEG/PNG under 10MB
