    Terms of Service and Privacy Policy version 2026-10b — effective October 22, 2026

    We have updated the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. The new version takes effect on October 22, 2026; until then, version 2026-10 applies. What changes: A purpose and a simple rule for commercial use. Commercial use is permitted on an account we can reach by e-mail and that has a lawful means of payment, such as a card. A personal account is for a person's research, development, creative work and experiments. Free credits are for evaluation. Free AP is not for resale or business use, and output generated with free credits may include a short notice or advertisement from AICU. Output generated with purchased AP does not. API keys. Use made with your key is your use; do not sell, lend or publish keys. You confirm this when you create a key. Accounts used together. Accounts that share a domain, or that are used by the same organization, may be asked to move to a business or team account. Stored requests. To improve the Service and to detect abuse such as prohibited content and deepfakes, we keep the content of requests for up to 90 days. It is not used to train models. Your output. Rights in output generated from materials you may use are yours. Output you explicitly make public may be published and used by AICU. If you continue to use the Service after October 22, you accept the new version.

  2. Platform

    Speech on free credits now needs a card on file

    To use speech synthesis (/v1/audio/speech, /v1/tts/generate) while your account has only free credits, add a card in the dashboard. Adding a card does not charge anything; you are charged only when you buy AP or turn on auto top-up. Accounts that have bought AP, have a card on file, or use a business account are not affected. Text, images and video are not affected. Without a card, speech returns 402 payment_method_required with the link to add one. Free credits are for one person to evaluate the Service (Terms 5.3); speech was being used at scale through many new accounts, which we cannot sustain.

  3. Pricing

    Video (Gemini Omni): 360p and 720p prices change on October 28

    From October 28, 2026 05:00 UTC, gemini-omni-1.1-flash on POST /v1/video/generate is 450 AP / second at 360p (from 400) and 1,400 AP / second at 720p (from 1,300). 1080p stays at 2,000 AP / second. Omni decides the length of each video itself (about 5 to 10 seconds): the API reserves 10 seconds when the job starts and settles to the length actually produced, returning the difference. Other video models are unchanged. Current prices are in GET /v1/models.

  4. Model

    Video: Wan 3.0 and Wan 3.0 Prime are available — choose the model on /v1/video/generate

    POST /v1/video/generate now takes a model. Alongside Gemini Omni (gemini-omni-1.1-flash, the default — the value choice at 720p), you can now use Wan 3.0 (wan3.0-video) and Wan 3.0 Prime (wan3.0-video-prime, about half the time or less) from Alibaba for quality. Both generate sound with the video and keep a character from a single reference image. 480p / 720p / 1080p, 2 to 10 seconds. Prices per second by resolution are in GET /v1/models (type video). AP is reserved when the job starts and returned in full if it fails. Try it with AiCuty characters at aicu.ai/create/wan — samples of both models are on the page.
