About

What aot-inpainting is

A SafeTensors conversion of the AOT inpainting generator released by zyddnys/manga-image-translator. It reconstructs masked regions after text removal from manga and comic images.

Intended use and limitations

The model is intended to fill binary-masked regions in illustrated images, especially regions left after comic text removal. It is not a general-purpose photo restoration model. Large images may need resizing or tiled inference; the supplied configuration uses a default maximum side of 1024 pixels. No evaluation metrics or training dataset artifacts are included in this conversion.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys aot-inpainting for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (aot-inpainting below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"aot-inpainting","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'
