Questions

Hunyuan Image 2.1, answered

What is Hunyuan Image 2.1?
Hunyuan Image 2.1 is an image model from Tencent. Tencent's 2K image model, with an optional prompt rewriter. It is new on Leap and in preview: it works, and it may still change. On Leap it runs in one studio beside every other top model, with one account.
What resolution and sizes does it make?
1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 4:3 or 16:9.
How much does a run cost?
An image costs $0.135. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
Is Hunyuan Image 2.1 free to try?
No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. The cheapest run is $0.135 (an image), so $5 covers 37 of those. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
Can I use what I make commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Is there an API?
Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as tencent/hunyuan-image-2.1, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
Do I need a Tencent account?
No. Leap sends your request to Tencent's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Hunyuan Image 2.1 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.

Your idea, Hunyuan Image 2.1.

Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.

The request

The same envelope for every model; only the model and its input change. With prefer: wait=60 the answer holds the result when the run finishes within a minute; a longer one is read again by its ID. Agents can call it through the MCP server at app.tryleap.ai/api/mcp.
