Generation models

Host and distribute a model

murakumo.cloud now includes a public model repository API, separate from the fleet's runnable-model catalogue below. Publishers upload immutable content-addressed blocks, then publish a DAG-CBOR revision manifest with model card, license, file hashes and provenance. Public reads and byte-range downloads need no token; repository, block and revision writes require a DID-bound murakumo token with the model-hosting scope.

• GET /api/v1/model-hosting — capability and limits
• GET /api/v1/model-hosting/repositories — searchable hosted repositories
• Publishing protocol — repository, block and revision request shapes

This is the hosting plane: durable weights and versioned metadata. The tables below are the execution plane: models currently wired into the Murakumo generation fleet. Hosting a revision does not claim that the fleet can execute it.

Video

hunyuanvideo-1.5

Best OSS output quality here: monochrome-manga by default with no prompting for it. Also the slowest by a wide margin.

ltx-2.3

Was the default until 2026-08-03, when image-to-video was measured returning status=done with every frame black (luma mean 0, std 0). Text-to -video passed an end-to-end run on 2026-07-16 and is still selectable; image-to-video is refused rather than silently returning an empty clip.

seedance-2.0

Hosted reference-to-video, up to 4K, up to 9 reference images. Verified against the live API on 2026-08-03.

seedance-2.0-fast

The production path for comic work as of 2026-08-03. Multi-shot actually works: one 15-second clip came back containing the four requested shots in order — a whole page from a single generation, which is why per-page cost is a fair unit here.

wan-dancer-14b

Dance / cosplay image-to-video. Weights are still being fetched by the disk-gated watcher and the graph is not wired, so selecting it fails closed instead of falling back to something else.

wan2.2-ti2v-5b

Default. Pen-and-ink look down to the screentone grain; character consistency holds from a single reference. Output is a fixed 768x448 landscape, so tall panels get cropped — measured 2026-08-03.

Cost is per manuscript page rather than per clip because the two paths divide the work differently: the fleet models take one clip per shot, while Seedance's multi-shot returns a page's worth in a single generation. Per-clip pricing would flatter the hosted path by 4x.

The measurement behind the video defaults

Six engines, one scenario, one session — the data the default model is chosen from, published rather than summarised.

Style fit / character consistency / prop intelligence are 1–5 scores from one measurement session on one scenario (monochrome manga + screentone, node: gad (AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 / gfx1151 / ROCm / ComfyUI 0.22.0)). They rank these six engines against each other on comic work; they are not general model benchmarks. Two ids in this table are not in the catalogue above: seedance-2.0-mini is the id this bench recorded for the fast hosted tier that the catalogue now serves as seedance-2.0-fast (same $0.22 per page, same 90s per clip), and animatediff-sdxl was evaluated and not adopted. Row names are left exactly as they were recorded.

Re-measured 2026-08-03

読切 P.12(4コマ) と P.21(4コマ) を genko の B4 原稿へ実際に組んだ — the run that moved the default.

• ltx-2.3 — broken i2v ジョブが status=done を返すのに出力が全フレーム真っ黒(輝度 mean 0 / std 0、49frames 45KB)。 2026-07-25 の bench では :oss-speed だったが、2026-08-03 時点では成果物にならない。 無料経路を試すなら wan2.2 を使う。
• wan2.2-ti2v-5b — works but unfit 動く。キャラ一致も良い(参照が単体なら)。ただし縦コマの原稿には合わない: ①出力が 768x448 の横長固定で、縦長のコマに入れると顔や主体が切れる ②i2v なので参照画像が1フレーム目になり、構図が寄り絵に固定される — 引きの絵や、参照と違う構図を作れない ③1クリップ1ショットなので 4コマ=4クリップ=約12分/頁 比率をコマに合わせて生成する改善は未検証(効く見込みはある)。
• seedance-2.0-fast — production multi-shot が実際に効いた: duration 10 で 15秒クリップが返り、その中に 指示した4ショットが順に入っていた = 1クリップで原稿1頁ぶん。 1コマ1クリップで焼くと4倍払うことになる(実際に1頁 $0.88 払った)。

What is not here

Models people ask for that this fleet does not serve, and why.

Reading this catalogue from code

The same data, unstyled and always current: GET /api/v1/generation/catalog . No token required — it is a menu, not a capability.

curl -s https://murakumo.cloud/api/v1/generation/catalog \
  | jq '.modalities.video[0].models[] | {id, status, engine}'

Running a generation is gated: POST /api/v1/generation needs a murakumo access token with the generation scope. See the connection guide for how access is issued today, and the storefront to buy capacity.
