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.
