Frequently asked questions

What NightmareAI models can I run on ModelRunner?

The catalog has 1 public NightmareAI model: Real Esrgan Image Upscaler. It covers upscaler. It has its own page with a free playground, the full input schema, and copy-paste code.

How much do NightmareAI models cost?

Pay-per-use, with no subscription: the one NightmareAI model billed per image costs $0.0035, 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 NightmareAI model from the API?

POST to https://queue.modelrunner.run/nightmareai/real-esrgan-upscaler 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 NightmareAI model from Claude or Cursor?

Yes. Connect the ModelRunner MCP server (https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp) once and NightmareAI's model becomes a tool 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.

Where is the source code or paper for NightmareAI models?

1 of the 1 NightmareAI model in the catalog link their own upstream sources — Real Esrgan Image Upscaler — covering some combination of code repository, paper, weights and licence. The links are listed on this page and on each model's own page.
