Asynchronously submits a video generation task. Returns HTTP 202 immediately with a task ID and polling URL. Poll `GET /api/v1/videos/{id}` for status. Video generation models are currently offline — check `GET /v1/models` for current availability before relying on this endpoint.

Create Response POST

Creates a model response. Supports streaming via `stream: true`. Compatible with the OpenAI Responses API. Automatically routes to the best available provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.).

Edit Image POST

Edits an existing image based on a prompt and optional mask. Compatible with the OpenAI Images Edits API (multipart/form-data). Only OpenAI-compatible upstream providers serve this endpoint; Anthropic and Gemini providers are skipped automatically. Streaming (Server-Sent Events) is supported only for `gpt-image-*` models when `stream=true` is set. No image editing models are currently online — check `GET /v1/models` for current availability before relying on this endpoint.
