One API for every AI image & video model

LiteGen is the universal proxy for AI image and video generation. Like LiteLLM, but for multimedia — route across every major provider with automatic fallback, load balancing, caching, and cost tracking.

OpenAI-compatible — point your existing client at LiteGen.

One prompt. Every image & video model.

Send a single OpenAI-style request. LiteGen fans it out to whichever model you want — DALL·E, FLUX, Imagen, Veo, Ray — falls back when one is down, and streams the finished image or video straight back. Hover a model to light up its route.

Diagram: one OpenAI-style prompt enters the LiteGen gateway, which applies routing, fallback, caching, per-model schemas, key management, and webhooks, then dispatches to image models (OpenAI DALL·E 3, Stability SDXL, Replicate FLUX) and video models (Runway Gen-4, Luma Ray 2) and streams the generated media back.
