Older model names are rejected\n2. Poll GET /v1/generations/{id} until completed or failed, then copy the presigned URL\n3. On 429, read `detail`. Rate limit exceeded means wait Retry-After, Too many concurrent jobs means wait for a job to finish\n4. Use keyframes with `keyframe_indexes` for 10 second clips. start_frame and end_frame only work at 5 seconds\n\n### Vidu API\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Token $VIDU_API_KEY`. The scheme is Token, not Bearer\n2. POST the task, then poll the Get Creation endpoint by task id or set `callback_url`\n3. Set `off_peak` only for jobs that can wait up to 48 hours. It roughly halves the credit rate\n4. Set `audio` to true for dialogue and sound on Q3. It's off by default\n5. Keep the AI-generated label on outputs.
