As a builder in the AI video space, I was terrified about how much markup API providers charge for simply routing the models. Higgsfield API adds a 40% markup even with its maximum advertised discount. Fal adds 100%. Runway adds 414% (Seedance 2 480p) I might be hated by the industry, but : 
 Today, we’re launching Sume API, the first image & video model provider with 0% markup. For example with Seedance 2.5 1080p • 50% cheaper than fal • 50% cheaper than higgsfield api (29% even with biggest discount) • 28.02% cheaper than kie ai The routing infrastructure layer is never the moat. We believe that APIs should be commoditized, and the moats will be built at the application layer. Check the pricing comparisons below, and see how the broken industry is saved.

yes. we payed the full creation rights, and not charging it to our users unlike hig.....
Replying to @davidim
the main reason I switched to higgsfield was that fal/other providers didnt seem to let me even upload an AI character sheet due to content protection (while higgsfield let me). do you solve that?

phoneuse for social media would be sick
defining a new category: phone-use an mcp/api that gives ai agents their own phones cloud phones. real androids. real iphones. tell your agent what to do, and it can operate a phone just like you do. today, ai agents face three fundamental problems and phoneuse solves them 🧵
