This endpoint has no v1 equivalent.
Start a generation with the given base model. The request body is the model’s inference form (see GET /base-models/{slug}/inference-schema for its shape). Returns immediately with an inference id; poll GET /workspaces/{workspace_id}/inferences/{inference_id} for results.
Authorizations
Section titled “Authorizations”Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”Path Parameters
Section titled “Path Parameters”Id of the workspace that owns the resource.
Id of the workspace that owns the resource.
The base model, named by the id the list endpoint returns, or by its slug, display name, or alias.
The base model, named by the id the list endpoint returns, or by its slug, display name, or alias.
Query Parameters
Section titled “Query Parameters”Header Parameters
Section titled “Header Parameters”Opaque key making this request safe to retry. The first request with a given key executes; a later request with the same key returns that first response with Idempotent-Replayed: true instead of executing again. The key covers the method, path, query, and body it was first used with; reusing it for a different request is rejected with 422. Replayable for 24 hours.

object
Unique identifier for this forge run.
Current status: IN_PROGRESS.
Suggested polling interval in seconds.
Timestamp of when the run was created.
Inference parameters after model-specific normalization.
These reflect the actual values used for generation, including model defaults applied for any parameters not explicitly set.
Example
{ "status": "in_progress"}Unauthenticated — missing or invalid Bearer token.
object
Example
{ "type": "https://api.layer.ai/errors/ERROR_CODE", "title": "Error Title", "status": 400, "detail": "Human-readable description."}Forbidden — insufficient permissions, or the access token lacks the scope the operation requires.
object
Example
{ "type": "https://api.layer.ai/errors/ERROR_CODE", "title": "Error Title", "status": 400, "detail": "Human-readable description."}Resource not found.
object
Example
{ "type": "https://api.layer.ai/errors/ERROR_CODE", "title": "Error Title", "status": 400, "detail": "Human-readable description."}The request with this Idempotency-Key is still running — retry after the number of seconds in Retry-After.
object
Example
{ "type": "https://api.layer.ai/errors/ERROR_CODE", "title": "Error Title", "status": 400, "detail": "Human-readable description."}Invalid input parameters, or an Idempotency-Key reused for a different request.
object
Example
{ "type": "https://api.layer.ai/errors/ERROR_CODE", "title": "Error Title", "status": 400, "detail": "Human-readable description."}Rate limited — retry after the number of seconds in Retry-After.
