AI App Development Made Easy: 4 Reasons to Build on deAPI

The part of shipping an app that used to need a hired team now takes an afternoon in Rork, Lovable or bolt. You describe what you want and you get a working build, without the months you would otherwise have spent learning Swift. The builder writes your client. Every decision on the other side of […]

LTX-2.5 Prompting Guide: Multi-Shot Scenes, Native Audio, and Prompts That Actually Cut

LTX-2.5 puts several shots into one generation, joined by real cuts, and the face in the opening shot is still the same face after the cut. It scores the clip while it renders, so the ambience and foley arrive with the picture. Lightricks’ 22-billion-parameter model runs on deAPI in three modes: text-to-video, image-to-video, and audio-to-video. […]

GPT Image 1.5 and GPT Image 2 Are Now on deAPI

GPT Image 1.5 and GPT Image 2 were the two most requested models in our Discord. Both are in the catalogue now, under the slugs gpt-image-1.5 and gpt-image-2. They run through the same endpoint as everything else here. If your code already calls FLUX or Z-Image, switching models means editing one string. The one-line switch […]

MiniMax H3 Image-to-Video Prompting Guide: Alignment Lines, Keyframes, and 3 Example Prompts

MiniMax H3 animates a still image and scores it in the same pass. Give it one picture and the clip starts there. With a second image it has somewhere to arrive, and the prompt becomes a description of the route. The prompt format carries over from text-to-video, so the three fields, the shot markers and […]

Whisper Large V3 CT2: Transcription That Knows Who Said What

There’s a new transcription model in the deAPI catalogue: WhisperLargeV3Ct2. It runs the Whisper Large V3 weights you already know on the CTranslate2 runtime, so the transcript text is what you’d expect from Whisper. What changed is the shape of the output. It’s JSON now, with per-word timings and speaker labels. Speaker labels Transcribe a […]

MiniMax H3 Prompting Guide: How to Write Structured Prompts for Text-to-Video

MiniMax H3 generates video and audio from a single prompt. One transformer predicts both – video frames and 32 kHz stereo sound come out of the same denoising process. When a character speaks, their lip movement lands on the exact syllable because the model generated both signals together, not stitched them in post. That joint […]

Qwen Image Edit Plus Prompting Guide: How to Write Edit Instructions That Actually Work

Most image models take a description and create something from scratch. Qwen Image Edit Plus works differently. You give it an existing image and tell it what to change. That distinction matters more than it sounds. If you prompt Qwen Image Edit like a generator, you’ll get bad results – and this guide exists so […]

Chatterbox TTS Guide: How to Control Emotion and 22 Languages with Text Alone

Most TTS models give you SSML tags and emotion sliders. Chatterbox ships with a text box and nothing else. Built by Resemble AI on a ~0.5B parameter LLM backbone, Chatterbox learned prosody from massive amounts of natural speech. Punctuation and capitalization drive emotion directly – no markup language in between. In blind evaluations by Podonos, […]

FLUX.1 Schnell Prompting Guide: How to Write Prompts and Avoid Common Mistakes

FLUX.1 Schnell is a 12-billion-parameter image generation model from Black Forest Labs – the team behind the original Stable Diffusion. It was distilled to produce images in as few as 1-4 inference steps, which makes it one of the fastest open-source image generators available. The NF4 quantized variant runs on GPUs with as little as […]

Kokoro TTS Guide: How to Control 41 Voices with Nothing but Punctuation

Most TTS models give you knobs – SSML markup, emotion tags, voice design sliders. Kokoro gives you a text box and 41 preset voices. The catch: it sounds better than models ten times its size. At 82 million parameters, Kokoro consistently ranks among the top open-source TTS models on the TTS Arena leaderboard. Fully open-source […]

Add a “Boost My Prompt” Button to Your AI App

Your users don’t write prompts for a living. They type “cute dog on a beach” into your image generator and expect a stunning result. When the output looks generic, the blame lands on your product – not on the three-word prompt. That gap between casual input and what an AI model actually needs is a […]

Z-Anime Prompting Guide: Settings, Resolutions, and Example Prompts

You already know how to prompt Z-Image – natural language, no tag lists. Z-Anime follows the same principle, but the model was fully fine-tuned for anime-style generation from the ground up. A dedicated 6-billion-parameter model trained specifically on anime aesthetics. That distinction matters. LoRA merges inherit the base model’s biases and often struggle with consistency […]

AI Video Upscaling Guide: RealESRGAN & FlashVSR

Old video looks old for one reason: not enough pixels. A 480p clip from 2007 carries the same content as a 4K master – it just doesn’t have the resolution to show it. AI super-resolution synthesizes the missing detail, frame by frame, without re-shooting a single second. deAPI offers three video upscaling models through a […]

ACE-Step 1.5 Prompting Guide: How to Write Tags, Structure Lyrics, and Generate Better Music

ACE-Step doesn’t work like Suno. There’s no magic text box where you describe a song and pray. Instead, it gives you two separate controls: tags that shape the sound, and lyrics that define the song structure. Understanding the split between them is the difference between getting random output and getting the track you actually hear […]

LTX-2.3 Video Generation Guide

Most AI video models take a text prompt and guess what motion looks right. LTX-2.3 listens. Lightricks’ 22-billion-parameter DiT model accepts audio alongside a text prompt and generates video synchronized to the waveform. A character’s lips match the spoken words down to individual phonemes, while a drummer’s arms land on every snare hit the audio […]

Use Your OpenAI SDK with deAPI

Your app already uses the OpenAI SDK. Now it can hit deAPI through that exact client – just point it at a different URL. deAPI now supports the OpenAI API format. Swap two parameters in your client initialization, and your existing code connects to image generation, TTS, transcription, and embedding models running on decentralized GPUs. […]

Z-Image Turbo Prompting Guide: Formula, Tips, and 5 Example Prompts

You type “1girl, solo, masterpiece, best quality” into Z-Image Turbo and wonder why the output looks generic. That prompt syntax was built for Stable Diffusion. Z-Image speaks a different language entirely. Under the hood, it’s a 6-billion-parameter single-stream diffusion transformer (S3-DiT) that processes text and image tokens in one unified sequence. Instead of parsing comma-separated […]

How to Transcribe YouTube Videos with AI

Most transcription tutorials start with “first, install yt-dlp.” Then you download the video, extract the audio track, convert it to the right format, and upload it to a speech-to-text API. Four steps before you get a single word of text. deAPI skips all of that. You send a YouTube URL to the /audio/transcriptions endpoint, and […]
