About
Traditional cartoon/anime production is time-consuming, requiring skilled artists for keyframing, inbetweening, and colorization. ToonComposer streamlines this with generative AI, turning hours of manual work of inbetweening and colorization into a single, seamless process. Visit our project page and read our paper for more details. This HF model repo provides model weights of ToonComposer. Codes are available at our GitHub repo.

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