About
Unmodified copies of 6 files (40.77 GB), re-hosted for operational reasons only. Nothing here has been retrained, quantised, converted or edited -- byte-for-byte the upstream blobs, in the ComfyUI category layout.
Why it exists: RunPod Serverless "cached models" pulls a whole repo onto each worker, and the upstream repos hold many variants we never load. Mirroring just the files one render touches is the difference between hundreds of gigabytes per worker and 41 GB.

Each file remains under the licence of its upstream repository, linked in the table above -- this mirror grants nothing further and modifies nothing. Check the source repo before any redistribution or commercial use.
No LICENSE.md is shipped here, deliberately. The upstream repositories for
these files declare no licence, so there is nothing to reproduce and inventing
one would misrepresent them. Terms are whatever each source repo states.

How it works
Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys h3-vbvr for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (h3-vbvr below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/videos/generations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"h3-vbvr","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
