Open infrastructure and one API for generative AI builders
Reach image, video, speech, music and text models through a single endpoint, so a project can mix modalities without stitching together multiple providers.
Many generations work straight from a URL in the browser, which makes it easy to prototype, embed in a webpage or drop into a script.
A web playground lets you test prompts and models interactively before wiring them into your application.
A gallery of apps built by the community shows what others have shipped on the API and gives builders starting points.
Performance models for fast, affordable image and video generation
A model catalogue spanning text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, video-to-video, editing, replacement, upscaling and AI avatars, plus image generation, upscaling, face swap and virtual try-on.
Published figures include sub-second to a few seconds of inference for many video tasks — for example p-video-upscale at roughly 1.34s and p-video-2-pro text-to-video at about 1.99s — with text-to-video on p-video-2 in the tens of seconds.
Per-second pricing starts around $0.01 and generally lands between $0.01 and $0.05 per generated second depending on model, resolution and task.
Access hosted models through straightforward API calls, or deploy the same models within your own infrastructure via the open-source Pruna library for compliance and custom requirements.
