Open Generative AI

One self hosted studio for image, video and lip sync models

Open Generative AI is a self hosted studio that puts a large catalogue of image and video models behind one interface: text to image, image to video, and audio driven lip sync. It replaces the habit of keeping six generation tabs open, and it is MIT licensed.

Why one workspace helps

Generation work is comparative. You want the same prompt through several models to see which one understands it, and that is tedious when each model lives behind a different interface with its own idea of what a seed or an aspect ratio means.

Keeping the outputs and their settings in one place also means the work accumulates. A prompt that worked last month is findable rather than lost somewhere in a chat history.

Read the model routing before you commit

The interface is genuinely open source and yours to run. The models are not: generation is routed through a commercial model API, so you need an account there and you pay per generation. The marketing language about no vendor lock in describes the code, not the model supply.

That is a reasonable trade for the convenience, and it is worth knowing before you build a workflow on it. If the point of self hosting for you was removing a third party from the loop, this arrangement does not do that.

Reach for it when

  • you compare the same prompt across several models regularly
  • you want prompts and outputs kept in one place you control
  • you would rather run an interface than pay for another subscription

Watch out for

  • generation is routed through a commercial model API you pay per use, so the free part is the interface
  • that routing is a third party dependency, which undercuts the usual reason for self hosting
  • model coverage moves quickly, so check the current list rather than trusting a screenshot or a README count
