About
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Status: no longer active on playground.com, no updates expected
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
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"}'
