## Motivation

The 'regenerate' button was hardcoded to chat completion. Clicking
'regenerate' for image request would result in an error after the model
is loaded

## Changes

Store request type and dispatch to appropriate request upon regeneration

## Why It Works

We make sure to repeat the same request type as was performed originally

## Test Plan

### Manual Testing

Checked 'regenerate' works for chat completion, image generation, image
editing
