20. building @sumelabs. backed by @fdotinc

[Shara @itsshara_ai]

one thing that could make a real difference in ai tools is more transparent pricing.

sume api gives you access to image and video models at their original public api prices, with no extra markup from sume. it also supports mcp for claude and chatgpt.

simple idea, but an interesting one.

paid partnership with sume.

[Clawra @abgcmo]

this is terrifying!

[shirish @shiri_shh]

most people using AI video APIs have no idea how much extra they’re paying just for someone to route the request

this one charges the original model price. 0% markup

the routing layer was never the valuable part anyway

[mireia. @heymireia]

generating video straight from claude is gonna be dangerous for my wallet lol

sume plugged its whole image and video setup into claude and chatgpt with mcp, at the providers' api prices

[Rodev @romandevz]

why should accessing AI models come with an extra markup?

sume API is taking a different approach: image and video models at their original public API prices, with a familiar UI and MCP support for Claude and ChatGPT.

the real value should be in what you build with AI, not extra layers of markup.

ESTO ES JODIDAMENTE INCREÍBLE

acaban de lanzar Sume y ahora puedes generar imagen y vídeo desde Claude o ChatGPT, por MCP

sin salir del chat
sin suscripción
sin pagar un plan que no usas

lo que me ha volado la cabeza es el precio:
→ 0% de recargo sobre el modelo
→ pagas el precio público de la API original
→ 8 segundos de Veo 3.1 Fast con audio a 720p: $0,80

y el mes que no generas nada, no pagas nada

🚨 ARE YOU PAYING MORE FOR AI VIDEO WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT?

The same model can cost dramatically different amounts depending on which API provider you use.

Same model. Same output. Completely different bill.

Sume is betting that model access should be a commodity, not a cash grab.

0% markup. Pay as you go.

The next AI price war might not be about the models themselves, but who gives you access to them for less.

[Ace @nijokestu]

Been watching API markups quietly eat into every video gen budget.

Sume just launched with 0% markup on the actual model prices + the same UI people already know.
Feels overdue.

[David Im @davidim]

We believe that the routing infrastructure layer is never the moat. APIs should be commoditized, and the moats will be built at the application layer.

More to be built on the application layer of Sume. Stay tuned. We'll save the industry.

[Abdulla Ababakre @abdullababakre]

my “Roy lee “ friend knows a lot about videos

[David Im @davidim]

2 - MCP / CLI
create with Claude, ChatGPT, etc.

[David Im @davidim]

1 - Use it at the UI.
layouts as same as higgsfield, but with 0 markups. stop wasting 50% of ai video spendings right away.

[David Im @davidim]

Pricing : most accessible rates in the industry
No subscriptions. pay as you go. check pricing at https://t.co/nf3vbkflpk

[Orikan @GesoraMeshack]

When I’m comparing AI video tools, I want to know how much I’m paying for the model and how much goes to the platform.

That’s what caught my attention here: Sume API is launching with 0% additional model-price markup and pay-as-you-go billing.

More of this transparency, please.

[Z-Coder @codedailyML]

Creating AI videos and images doesn’t have to come with inflated API costs.

Sume API brings multiple AI models into one platform, with provider-level pricing and no additional markup on model costs. Selected video models can be nearly 50% cheaper, while MCP integration lets you connect your creative workflow with Claude and ChatGPT.

More flexibility, easier access to powerful models, and less money spent on generation.

[Manoj Kumar Shah @techxmanoj]

AI video tools are getting better, but high API markups can make them expensive to build with.

Sume API is taking a different approach with 0% markup, pay-as-you-go pricing, and MCP integration with Claude + ChatGPT.

Lower costs mean more room to experiment, build, and scale AI-powered applications.

Definitely worth exploring for anyone building with AI media tools.

[0xDan @0xDanXbt]

This is absolutely fantastic if you are already familiar with Higgsfield

Its basically same UI but cheaper, for example you can use seadance for 30% less

Paid partnership with Sume

[Markandey Sharma @TechByMarkandey]

AI video generation at nearly 50% less on selected models.

Sume API gives you access to AI image and video models at original provider API prices, with 0% extra markup on model prices.

It also offers a Higgsfield-style UI with the same features, plus MCP support to connect with Claude and ChatGPT.

More powerful AI creation tools without paying more than you need to.

[marcus @marcusyul]

OK, ESTO ME PARECE UNA LOCURA

Ahora puedes generar imágenes y vídeos dentro de Claude. Sin salir del chat.

Así de fácil:

1. Abres Claude
2. Vas a Ajustes → Conectores
3. Pegas el link de Sume
4. Le pides el vídeo

Y ya. Claude te lo genera ahí mismo.

Sume es una plataforma con los modelos top de imagen y vídeo en un solo sitio:

→ Seedance 2.0 y 2.5
→ Veo 3.1
→ Nano Banana Pro

Y lo mejor: 0% de sobreprecio. Pagas lo que cuesta el modelo original, nada más.

Sin suscripción. Generas lo que quieras y pagas solo lo que usas.

No entiendo cómo esto no lo está usando todo el mundo todavía.

[David Im @davidim]

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.
