About
Hunyuan1.5 use attention masks with variable-length sequences. For best performance, we recommend using an attention backend that handles padding efficiently.
We recommend installing kernels (pip install kernels) to access prebuilt attention kernels
You can check our documentation to learn more about all the different attention backends we support.

Blurred beach scenery forms the background featuring crystal-clear waters, distant green hills, and a blue sky dotted with white clouds. The cat assumes a naturally relaxed posture, as if savoring the sea breeze and warm sunlight. A close-up shot highlights the feline's intricate details and the refreshing atmosphere of the seaside."

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys hunyuanvideo-1-5-720p-i2v for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (hunyuanvideo-1-5-720p-i2v 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":"hunyuanvideo-1-5-720p-i2v","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
