Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/cosmos-predict-2.5/image-to-video with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video below.

Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video API?

Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video is a WaveSpeedAI model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image-to-Video generates video from an image and text prompt using NVIDIA's 2B Cosmos Post-Trained Model. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no cold starts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/cosmos-predict-2.5-image-to-video.

How much does Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video cost per run?

Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video starts at $0.30 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/cosmos-predict-2.5-image-to-video.

How long does Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video take to generate?

Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 95 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Cosmos Predict 2.5 Image To Video outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
