About

What playground is

A model from Playground.

Playground v1 is a latent diffusion model that improves the overall HDR quality to get more stunning images.

Status: no longer active on playground.com, no updates expected

Run Playground v1

First, install dependencies:

pip install diffusers torch accelerate transformers

Run the model:

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("playgroundai/playground-v1")

if torch.cuda.is_available():
    pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "An Astronaut in a jungle, photorealistic"
image  = pipe(prompt=prompt).images[0]

image.save("playground-v1.png")

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys playground for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (playground 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":"playground","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'

Create an account — your API key is available in the console. 5M tokens/month currently included with every new account at launch.
