About Prodia

Prodia provides a developer-friendly REST API for AI image and video generation. The platform supports a wide catalog of models via consistent endpoints, offering text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, upscaling, and video generation. Notable features include ultra-low latency (<200ms for Flux Schnell), per-megapixel pricing, volume discounts at scale, and an enterprise tier. Models available include FLUX.1 Schnell/Dev, FLUX.1.1 Pro/Ultra, Stable Diffusion 1.5 and XL, Recraft V4, Seedream, Google Veo 3, OpenAI Sora 2, Kling, Wan 2.2, and image utility models (ESRGAN upscaler, GFPGAN face restore, SAM 3 segmentation, BiRefNet). The API uses versioned inference endpoints (e.g. inference.flux-fast.schnell.txt2img.v2) and returns job results asynchronously.

Prodia is a high-speed AI inference API platform providing scalable access to image and video generation models. It offers a unified REST API for text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, upscaling, and video generation, hosting models from Black Forest Labs (Flux), Stability AI, Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, and others. Prodia is known for sub-second latency on Flux Schnell (reported ~190ms) and pay-as-you-go pricing without subscriptions. Utilities include background removal, NSFW detection, face restoration, and segmentation (SAM 3).

About Stable Diffusion XL

Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) is Stability AI's large-scale image generation model, released July 2023. It features a two-stage pipeline (base model + optional refiner), dual text encoders (OpenCLIP and CLIP-L), and a larger UNet backbone producing higher-resolution, more detailed images than SD 1.5. SDXL became a widely used base for community fine-tunes and supports LoRA, ControlNet, and inpainting.
