How it works

How video models work

Prompt / imagestart pointTemporal diffusionframes over timeVideoMP4 clipA video model generates a sequence of coherent frames from your prompt or a starting image.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

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