@hurmuli that’s helpful feedback! So, to clarify, the time you had an issue was using Nano Banana? ---

I was using “GPT 1.5 Image model” to create the images. Another bug I am now facing is that the bot gives out the command (action) but not the image itself. After I tell the bot “Hey, I dont see the image, try again.” it will try to generate the image again (flashing text), answers “Sorry for the mistake. Here is the image…” but doesn’t actually generate it. Below you can find a pictures of what the bot answered. ![kuva](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/5/5e6d3feebb689806aa0079e343dcafdbf11e8177.png) ![kuva](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/5/579190e64b7d6fa3c7e4b54bbe1074dcd16e44be.png) ---

Tested with Flux\_shell (Image generatorion) and same issue. Lot of talking but no Image from bot. Seems this issue is somewhere deeper in Pickaxe. ---

@hurmuli thanks for the feedback! I have duplicated your Pickaxe and spent some time doing tests on it directly - I seem to be able to generate an image each time without issues. We’ve started testing image editing once a day as a team to check for any new problems, and we haven’t run into this in any of our attempts. If it persists, you can reach out to us at [info@pickaxeproject.com](mailto:info@pickaxeproject.com) ![Screenshot 2026-01-16 at 4.04.57 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/b/bbdb8333d238e754b71a2890e931af249f07bd73.jpeg) ---

Ok and today it worked and I could generate a new image and even edit it with commands. When trying old chat (Generate a picture of 1950s retro style city, my last prompt) I could not generate the image, but the same question did generate an image in the new chat. What could be causing this that old chats that haven’t worked keep on not working but new chats do work? ---

It seems image (GPT 1.5) is bugged again. Gave an image to edit and bot answers and GPT 1.5 triggers but no image was generated. ---

Can you share the exact prompt/set of circumstances you’re testing with? It seems to work alright for us. ---

Sorry for the late reply. Send and email with link to bot. ---

Seems there is a new bug. 1st image gets generated but after that you simply just get “Image link is broken” ![kuva](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/3/3bcf28ba460205718c289706ab1170d75ebfa360.png) ---

Hi @hurmuli, thanks for your patience - I see you’ve had some successful prompt runs since this issue! I was able to pinpoint what was happening on the backend - it was a bit of an edge case problem - and I pushed a change last night that should hopefully prevent this problem from appearing in future. Feel free to respond here or elsewhere if you see it again! [Previous page](https://community.pickaxe.co/t/actions-not-triggering-even-after-explicit-instructions/7891.md?page=1)
