Playground

Test any AI model directly in your browser — no code, no API key setup.

Every model on Runbase has a built-in Playground on its detail page. You can generate images and videos right in your browser without writing any code or setting up API keys.

How to use

  1. Go to the Models page and pick a model
  2. On the model's detail page, you'll see the Playground section at the top
  3. Enter a prompt, adjust parameters if needed, and click Run model
  4. The result appears in seconds — images display inline, videos play directly

Playground interface — enter a prompt, choose aspect ratio and resolution, then click Run model

You need to be signed in to run generations. Each run deducts from your balance, just like API calls.

When to use the Playground

  • Evaluating models — compare output quality across different models before choosing one for your project
  • Testing prompts — experiment with prompt wording, styles, and parameters to see what works best
  • Quick one-off generations — grab an image or video without writing code
  • Demos — show stakeholders what the models can do

Model parameters

Each model has different input parameters. The Playground form shows all available options for the selected model:

  • Prompt — text description of what you want to generate (required for all models)
  • Aspect ratio — output dimensions like 1:1, 16:9, 9:16
  • Quality — generation quality tier (where supported)
  • Reference images — upload or link reference images for style transfer or image editing (where supported)

The exact parameters vary by model — the form adapts automatically.

From Playground to API

When you're ready to integrate, the API tab on the same model page has the request format, input schema, and copy-ready code samples. The model ID and input object match exactly what the Playground uses.
