Run SDXL Turbo

Install it on a Pendra worker, then call it through the OpenAI-compatible API with a pdr_sk_ key.

from pendra import Pendra
import base64, pathlib

client = Pendra(api_key="pdr_sk_...")

result = client.images.generations.create(
    model="sdxl-turbo",
    prompt="A misty Welsh valley at dawn",
    size="1024x1024",
)

pathlib.Path("out.png").write_bytes(base64.b64decode(result.data[0].b64_json))

import { Pendra } from "pendra";
import { writeFileSync } from "node:fs";

const client = new Pendra({ apiKey: "pdr_sk_..." });

const result = await client.images.generations.create({
  model: "sdxl-turbo",
  prompt: "A misty Welsh valley at dawn",
  size: "1024x1024",
});

writeFileSync("out.png", Buffer.from(result.data[0].b64_json, "base64"));
