💻 Generation Code Sample

Here's an example of how to interact with the Kandinsky 5 Distill API for video generation:

import requests

API_URL = "YOUR_API_ENDPOINT/sber-ai/kandinsky5-distill-t2v" # Replace with actual endpoint
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"} # Replace with your actual API key

payload = {
    "prompt": "A futuristic city at sunset, flying cars, neon lights, highly detailed, cinematic",
    "duration": 7, # Generate a 7-second video
    "resolution": "512x512" # Specify video resolution
}

response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json=payload)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception for HTTP errors

video_generation_id = response.json()["id"]
print(f"Video generation initiated with ID: {video_generation_id}")
        

🎬 Output Code Sample

After initiating a generation, you can fetch the output (e.g., video URL) using the following code:

import requests
import time

API_URL_FETCH = "YOUR_API_ENDPOINT/video_generations/{video_generation_id}" # Replace with actual endpoint
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}

# Assuming video_generation_id was obtained from the generation sample above
# For demonstration, let's use a placeholder if not
# video_generation_id = "your_actual_generation_id_here"

status = "pending"
while status == "pending":
    response = requests.get(API_URL_FETCH.format(video_generation_id=video_generation_id), headers=headers)
    response.raise_for_status()
    result = response.json()
    status = result.get("status")

    if status == "completed":
        video_url = result.get("output_url")
        print(f"Video successfully generated: {video_url}")
    elif status == "failed":
        print(f"Video generation failed: {result.get('error')}")
        break
    else:
        print(f"Video status: {status}. Waiting...")
        time.sleep(10) # Wait for 10 seconds before checking again
        

⚖️ Comparison with Other Models

Understanding Kandinsky 5 Distill's unique position in the text-to-video landscape:

• vs. Kandinsky 5 Standard: Distill offers significantly faster generation times, making it superior for rapid iteration and previews. While the original Kandinsky 5 might provide slightly deeper nuance in highly intricate generations, Distill maintains excellent quality for the vast majority of practical applications.
• vs. Stable Diffusion Video Models: Kandinsky 5 Distill provides specialized text-to-video capabilities with an optimized transformer-based architecture, frequently producing videos that are more semantically accurate and temporally coherent. Stable Diffusion variants are often more general-purpose but can be slower or exhibit less temporal consistency in video outputs.
• vs. Imagen Video: Kandinsky 5 Distill prioritizes speed and accessibility, built on open architectures. In contrast, Imagen Video is a proprietary model focused on ultra-high quality, typically at a higher computational cost and with limited access.
