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.
Run, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models with one line of code
Run image, video, audio, speech, and language models through a uniform API surface, with official models for FLUX, Nano Banana, Seedream, Grok Imagine, MiniMax, Wan, Seedance, and more.
Set up a model in minutes and make an API call in Python, Node, or plain HTTP after authenticating with an API token.
Package your own model with Cog, an open-source tool for packaging machine learning models, and deploy it on dedicated hardware that scales up and down with demand.
Fine-tune models on your own data, including fast-booting fine-tunes that are billed only while actively processing requests rather than for idle time.
