Changed in v2. This endpoint’s contract differs from v1. See the v2 migration guide for the request and response changes before you switch.

Estimate the Creative Units cost of an inference with given parameters. Prices through the same reference-set translation and model selection as the execute endpoint, so the price matches what execution charges for identical inputs.

Reference-set errors: REFERENCE_SET_NOT_FOUND (404 — unknown, deleted, or outside this workspace’s reach), NO_COMPATIBLE_MODEL (422 — no enabled base model can apply these sets), REFERENCE_SET_REQUIRED (422 — the chosen model needs an applicable set), REFERENCE_SET_CONFLICT (422 — two sets supply the same singular adapter), REFERENCE_SET_LIMIT_EXCEEDED (422: more sets of one kind than the model takes, e.g. a second ANIMATION set on a 3D animating model), and INPUT_FILE_REQUIRED (422 — the sets select an edit-only model with no asset to edit).

Parameters

Section titled “Parameters”

Path Parameters

Section titled “Path Parameters”
workspace_id
required
Workspace Id

Id of the workspace that owns the resource.

string format: uuid

Id of the workspace that owns the resource.

Header Parameters

Section titled “Header Parameters”
Idempotency-Key
string
<= 255 characters

Opaque key making a retry of this request return the first result. A 2xx response is replayed for 24 hours with Idempotent-Replayed: true. A 4xx releases the key. A 5xx, or a request still running, holds the key for 120 seconds, during which a retry gets 409; after that a retry executes again. The key covers the method, path, query, and byte-identical body it was first used with; reusing it for a different request is rejected with 422. Protection is best effort: if the key store is unavailable, or a record is lost early, a retry can execute again even after an earlier 409. See the Idempotency section of the API description.

Request Bodyrequired

Section titled “Request Bodyrequired”
Media typeapplication/json
EstimateInferencePriceV2Request

Reference sets to apply, up to 10.

Array<object>
default: <= 10 items
InferenceReferenceSetInput
object
set_id
required

prompt
Prompt

Text prompt.

string
nullable <= 100000 characters

Negative Prompt

What to steer the output away from. Honored by the models whose inference-schema lists negative_prompt, and ignored by the rest.

string
nullable <= 100000 characters
width

Output width in pixels. If not specified, a default resolution based on the model will be applied.

integer
nullable > 0
height
Height

Output height in pixels. If not specified, a default resolution based on the model will be applied.

integer
nullable > 0
auto_aspect_ratio
Auto Aspect Ratio

Derive the output’s shape from the input instead of from width/height. Only on models whose capabilities include autoAspectRatio.

boolean
nullable
auto_resolution
Auto Resolution

The size tier of an auto_aspect_ratio run (e.g. ‘2K’), one of the model’s autoResolutions. Unset, the size follows the input.

string
nullable
batch_size
Batch Size

Number of outputs (1-16).

integer
default: 4 >= 1 <= 16
num_inference_steps
Num Inference Steps

Number of diffusion steps.

integer
nullable > 0
guidance_scale
Guidance Scale

Guidance scale (CFG).

number
nullable
prompt_strength
Prompt Strength

How closely the generated audio follows the text prompt (0-1); higher means less variation. Honored by ElevenLabs Sound Effects and the Sonilo video-to-music models, and ignored by every other model. To control how closely an image or video generation follows an input image, set guidance_files[].weight instead.

number
nullable <= 1
quality
Quality

Quality level: low, medium, or high.

string
nullable
Allowed values: low medium high
sharpness
Sharpness

Output sharpness.

number
nullable
prompt_enhancement
Any of:
PromptEnhancement

How much effort the provider spends rewriting the prompt before it generates.

One ladder for a dial providers spell a dozen ways: an on/off flag (enable_prompt_expansion, prompt_optimizer, enhance_prompt, expand_prompt, autoprompt, …) or a mode (MiniMax’s disabled/fast/balanced/quality, Seedream’s fast/standard, Qwen’s none/quality). Member order is the ladder. Each model declares the levels it offers as prompt_enhancement_levels, and the provider mapping spells a level its own way; an on/off provider offers OFF and STANDARD.

This is the provider’s own rewriting, distinct from Layer’s prompt-enhance action, which rewrites the prompt visibly before the request is made.

string
Allowed values: off fast standard quality
duration_seconds
Duration Seconds

Output length in seconds — a video clip’s duration, or the clip length for audio models whose capabilities report duration_seconds_min and duration_seconds_max. A value outside a model’s supported range is refused.

number
nullable > 0
generate_audio
Generate Audio

Generate audio with video.

boolean
nullable
keep_audio
Keep Audio

Keep audio from input video.

boolean
nullable
draft
Draft

Render a quick, low-cost draft instead of the full-quality output, on models whose capabilities report draft. Complete the draft later with the model named by the generating model’s draftCompletionModelId, passing the draft file as a DRAFT_VIDEO input (DRAFT_WORLD for a world, DRAFT_MESH for a mesh).

boolean
nullable
instrumental
Instrumental

Guarantee a track with no vocals, on models whose capabilities report instrumental. Asking for one in the prompt is only a suggestion.

boolean
nullable
loop
Loop

Compose the clip to repeat with no audible seam, on models whose capabilities report loop.

boolean
nullable
output_format
Any of:
AudioOutputFormat

Container for a delivered audio file.

Providers name these their own way and Layer never re-encodes what one returns, so the format a caller asks for is only keepable on models whose capabilities list it. Members are named for their wire value: the frontend artifacts preserve enum names, and a name that differed from the value would hand clients a format string the request API rejects.

string
Allowed values: mp3 wav aac flac
lyrics
Lyrics

Words to be sung, for models whose capabilities report lyrics. A separate input from the prompt, which describes the music itself.

string
nullable
composition_plan
Any of:
CompositionPlan

A track authored as an ordered list of sections rather than as one description.

The split is load-bearing: the plan’s own styles carry what must hold for the whole track, genre, era, production character, palette, and each section carries only what changes. Reversing it produces a track that either drifts or never moves.

A plan replaces the prompt rather than supplementing it. Providers taking a plan ignore the prompt, the requested length and the vocal-free flag, because the plan already states all three.

object
positive_styles
Positive Styles
Array<string>
default:
negative_styles
Negative Styles
Array<string>
default:
sections
required
Sections
Array<object>
>= 1 items <= 30 items
MusicSection

One section of a planned track, carrying its own length, styles and sung lines.

positive_styles/negative_styles are the section’s delta: what enters or leaves here, against the palette the plan holds for the whole track. A section’s exclusions are what keep it empty of something the rest of the track has, the plan-wide negatives cannot express “no percussion until the second section”.

object
name

Name
string

Canonical rest pose a character-mesh model is asked to generate in. A_POSE places the arms angled down at roughly 45°; T_POSE holds them straight out to the sides. Only meaningful for models that advertise the pose_modes capability (e.g. Meshy V7).

Deliberately a light top-level module (like base_model_id), NOT under pkg.models.inference: the Blueprint definition layer registers this as a BlueprintType and migrates legacy node ports, and must do so without pulling in the heavy pkg.models.inference package, which would perturb the Temporal workflow-sandbox import graph and split pydantic class identity.

Keep the mesh’s own UV layout when retexturing. Support varies by model.

boolean
nullable

nine_slice
Nine Slice

Deliver the image as a 9-slice UI element (a button, frame or panel that stretches): after everything else the run does, the plain band through its middle is found on each axis, the stretched regions are cleaned so nothing smears, and the insets are recorded as the file’s nineSlice metadata. An image with no such band is delivered as drawn, without insets. Image outputs only.

boolean
nullable
color_palette
Any of:
InferenceColorPalette

The colors a generation is asked to use, and the reference set they were picked from.

The run uses the colors it carries: a later edit to the set changes no run already made. reference_set_id only names where they came from, so a form can show and restore it.

target_language
Target Language

The language a dub speaks, as one of the ISO 639-1 codes the model’s capabilities list under dub_languages.

string
nullable
audio_sections
Audio Sections

Regenerate stretches of the init audio: each section is a window from start_seconds to end_seconds, measured from the clip’s anchor (its start by default), that the prompt rewrites while the rest is kept. Honored by the audio models listed for the inpainting use case.

Array<object>
default:
AudioEditSection

An interior time window of the source clip to regenerate (inpaint).

Times are non-negative magnitudes measured from anchor. The window is always inside the clip; extending past the clip is outpainting (see [[AudioExtension]]), a separate operation.

video_section
Any of:
VideoSection

A time window of the source clip, in seconds from its start, that an edit replaces.

A video insert cuts the source at start_seconds, plays a generated scene, then picks the source back up at end_seconds.

Any of:
ForgeMaskInput
object
file_id
File Id

Mask image file ID.

string format: uuid
nullable
for_transparency
For Transparency

Use the init image’s transparent areas as the mask. As the only mask source, a fully opaque init used as stored (no transform, padding or target) is refused; a mask file works on any init.

boolean

estimated_price_creative_units
required
Estimated Price Creative Units

Total estimated Creative Units price for this run.

number
workspace_balance_creative_units
required
Workspace Balance Creative Units

Usable Creative Units balance (total balance minus reserved by in-progress generations).

number
estimated_remaining_balance_creative_units
required
Estimated Remaining Balance Creative Units

Usable balance after subtracting the estimated price. Can be negative.

number

Has Sufficient Creative Units

Whether the workspace has enough available Creative Units to cover the estimated price.

boolean
base_model_id
required
Base Model Id

Base model this price refers to, resolved or auto-picked.

string
auto_picked
required
Auto Picked

True when no base_model_id was supplied — the base model was selected from the reference sets.

boolean
reference_set_contributions
Reference Set Contributions

Voice Applied

True when a voice (ElevenLabs) finetune was applied for this set.

boolean

True when the set’s color palette was appended to the prompt.

boolean
prompt_fallback_applied
Prompt Fallback Applied

True when the set fell back to prompt-only representation.

boolean
auto_prompt_applied
Auto Prompt Applied

True when the set’s auto prompt addition was appended to the prompt. Informational: the text rides on top of whatever else the set contributed and is not a degradation.

boolean
lora_available_but_incompatible
Lora Available But Incompatible

True when SBMC has a LoRA for this set on another base model but not the one used.

boolean
skipped_not_applicable
Skipped Not Applicable

True when the set isn’t applicable to the chosen model (its modality / applicable base models exclude it) so no LoRA or assets were applied.

boolean
skipped_irrelevant_category
Skipped Irrelevant Category

True when the set’s category means nothing for the chosen model’s modality (a camera move on an image model), so it was dropped entirely, prompt text included. Implies skipped_not_applicable.

boolean
reference_sets_degraded
Reference Sets Degraded

True when at least one attached reference set would not meaningfully contribute on the selected model.

boolean
reference_sets_warning
Reference Sets Warning

Names each degraded reference set and why, or null when none is degraded.
