What is the Prefect Pony Xl API?
Prefect Pony Xl is a WaveSpeedAI model for image generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Prefect Pony XL delivers high-quality anime-style image generation for character art and illustrations. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
How do I call the Prefect Pony Xl 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/prefect-pony-xl.
How much does Prefect Pony Xl cost per run?
Prefect Pony Xl starts at $0.015 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 Prefect Pony Xl accept?
Key inputs: `prompt`, `size`, `seed`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`, `output_format`. 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/prefect-pony-xl.
How long does Prefect Pony Xl take to generate?
Average end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 11 seconds per request — measured across recent runs. Queue time scales with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Can I use Prefect Pony Xl 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.
