Frequently asked questions

What HiDream.ai models can I run on ModelRunner?

The catalog has 4 public HiDream.ai models: HiDream I1 Full Image-to-Image, HiDream I1 Dev, HiDream I1 Fast and 1 more. They cover text-to-image and image-to-image. Each one has its own page with a free playground, the full input schema, and copy-paste code.

How much do HiDream.ai models cost?

Pay-per-use, with no subscription: the 4 HiDream.ai models billed per megapixel start at $0.01, and every page publishes its own rate — some are tiered, so a lower resolution or a shorter clip costs less per run. You buy credits and pay only for what you generate.

How do I call a HiDream.ai model from the API?

POST to https://queue.modelrunner.run/hidream/i1-full/image-to-image with an Authorization: Key header and the input fields as the top-level JSON body (no wrapper object), then poll the returned status_url and fetch the result from response_url. The JavaScript SDK (@modelrunner/client) wraps that in a single subscribe() call, which is the one place an { input } object is used.

Can I run HiDream.ai models from Claude or Cursor?

Yes. Connect the ModelRunner MCP server (https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp) once and all 4 HiDream.ai models become tools your assistant can call with run_model — authorized over OAuth 2.1, so no API key goes into a config file. Results come back as hosted URLs in the conversation.
