LEONARDO ALTERNATIVE

Like Leonardo, but API-first.

Generate images with FLUX, Stable Diffusion 3.5, Ideogram or Imagen from an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, billed per image, with video and chat on the same key.

Hand this to your agent

Add a Runcrate model to this project: run curl -fsSL"https://runcrate.ai/agents.md?intent=build"and follow it.

Your agent asks for an API key. Create a key

Why switch

Why teams move to Runcrate. One account for models and GPUs.

  • Open models, one API key

    Chat, code, image, video, audio and vision models behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, billed per token, per image or per second of output.

  • OpenAI-compatible

    Point the OpenAI SDK at api.runcrate.ai/v1 and the requests your agent already makes keep working. No custom client library.

  • GPUs on the same account

    When an API call is not enough, start an H100 or H200 instance from the same balance and dashboard. Launch 8 or more GPUs yourself, or ask us for a custom quote.

  • One balance, billed as used

    Inference bills each request at its listed price. Instances bill by the second on most GPUs and by the minute on a few. No minimums, no contract.

Get started

Try it in one request.

Your agent writes and runs it. The same key works for every model and every GPU.
