About

What vqvae is

This repository is a clone of the VideoGPT in order to convert the VQ-VAE model to the Hugging Face format for easier model loading.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys vqvae for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (vqvae below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/embeddings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"vqvae","input":"text to embed"}'
