Pika 1.5
Pika 1.5 creates an effect-led video from a prompt and optional image material. Select pikaffect explicitly and follow the original Ailoot operation to its video result.
About the model
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use pika-15 with model, prompt and pikaffect at /v1/videos. Choose a documented effect such as Inflate, Levitate, Melt, Squish or Ta-da. The request also exposes image as a string or an array of up to ten strings, and a negative_prompt field.
Describe the subject that should undergo the selected transformation and the desired final appearance. An image can supply the visible starting material; the prompt should identify the motion and framing to preserve around the effect. Keep the selected effect value literal and choose source material that makes the transformation easy to inspect in the finished clip.
Submit the shot once through /v1/videos, retain the returned request ID and poll that original operation through /v1/videos/{request_id}. Save every completed video output and the complete response before reviewing the action, framing and end state against the brief.

Pricing
How the final charge is calculated
The displayed rates estimate the cost before generation. The final charge is calculated from the cost recorded for the original generation. Measured output duration and forecast quantities are not the final billable quantity.
Tariff references do not add request options. Supported parameters are listed for the selected method.
- Fast mode
- Not specified When fast mode is selected
- Flex mode
- Not specified When flex mode is selected
- Maximum reasoning effort
- Not specified When maximum reasoning effort uses the default adjustment
Estimated rates for comparison
Prices by configuration
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

Ailoot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
