How to Transcribe a Twitch VOD from a Link

A one-hour stream holds around 10,000 spoken words, and nobody scrubs through that to find the two minutes worth clipping. A transcript makes the VOD searchable, so you can jump to the moment a guest told the story you remember, or pull every line where the streamer mentioned a sponsor. The VOD also has an […]

How to Analyze Videos with AI: Visual Events + Transcripts via API

A few hundred TikToks mention your product this week, and no one on the team has time to watch them. A transcript covers part of the job, but plenty of short videos carry little speech, just a product in someone’s hand or a reaction set to music. An AI video analysis API gives you both […]

AI Product Photos via API: Clean Catalog Shots vs Styled Scenes

Small online stores rarely hire a photographer for every new product. The first photo usually comes from a phone, taken wherever the item happened to be standing, and before it can go on a marketplace listing or a shop page, the background has to go. A photo editor handles that for one image. For a […]

Ben2 AI Background Removal Guide

A Ben2 request has two fields: the image file and the word Ben2. Ask the models endpoint what else it takes and you get back a single object holding four numbers, the minimum and maximum width and height.

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.

LTX-2.5 Prompt 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 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.

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.

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

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 […]
