WaveSpeed AI

Serverless API platform aggregating 1,000+ AI models for image, video, audio, and 3D generation with transparent pay-per-use pricing. Hosts third-party models from Google, ByteDance, Kling, Pika, Sora, Recraft, Ideogram, and more alongside its own model lineup.

Melius

Creative-canvas AI agent. Describe the brief; Mel routes the work across leading image, video, and audio models (Flux, Nano Banana, Veo, Kling, Seedance, ElevenLabs, and more) and lays every step out as editable nodes on a canvas. Same agent runs through a web app for creators and an MCP server for teams driving it from Claude or any AI stack. Beta. Pricing subject to change.

Pros

Fast cold-starts (~100ms) using ParaAttention caching
Broad catalog of Chinese/partner video models (Kling, WAN, Seedance, Hailuo) often ahead of Western platforms
Very cheap low-end (Flux Schnell $0.003, Z-Image-Turbo $0.005, Flux Dev Ultra-Fast $0.005)

Single agent (Mel) auto-routes across 45+ image, video, and audio models, no per-tool subscription juggling
MCP server lets you drive Melius from Claude or any team AI stack; unlimited MCP calls on Growth and Professional plans
Node-level prompt visibility, every step Mel takes is editable on the canvas, not a black box

Cons

No public status page or SLA
7-day output retention window (user must archive)
Aggressive/sensitive content filters sometimes applied without notice

Beta product, pricing explicitly subject to change
No free tier and no annual discount disclosed
Large jump from Growth ($45) to Professional ($240) with no mid-tier option

Model availability

Every model offered by at least one selected tool, plus trending models (marked ) shown even when neither tool hosts them. A · means that tool does not host the model.
