What Shangchen Zhou models can I run on ModelRunner?
The catalog has 1 public Shangchen Zhou model: CodeFormer. It covers image-to-image. It has its own page with a free playground, the full input schema, and copy-paste code.
How much do Shangchen Zhou models cost?
Pay-per-use, with no subscription: the one Shangchen Zhou model billed per megapixel costs $0.0021, 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 Shangchen Zhou model from the API?
POST to https://queue.modelrunner.run/sczhou/codeformer 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 Shangchen Zhou model from Claude or Cursor?
Yes. Connect the ModelRunner MCP server (https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp) once and Shangchen Zhou'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.
