Switch in one line

Both models live behind Railwail's OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Replace the model string and you are done.

JavaScript / TypeScript
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.RAILWAIL_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://railwail.com/v1",
});

// Before โ€” using FILM Frame Interpolation
let r = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "google-research/frame-interpolation",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});

// After โ€” switched to HunyuanVideo
r = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "tencent/hunyuan-video",

Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper, FILM Frame Interpolation or HunyuanVideo?
FILM Frame Interpolation and HunyuanVideo cannot be compared on per-token price: at least one of them has no per-token price listed (it is priced per run or not yet priced). See each model page for its current price.
Which has more context, FILM Frame Interpolation or HunyuanVideo?
FILM Frame Interpolation and HunyuanVideo have similar context windows (โ€” vs โ€”).
Is FILM Frame Interpolation better than HunyuanVideo for coding?
For coding-heavy workloads we lean toward FILM Frame Interpolation on this comparison โ€” it scores higher on the relevant heuristics (category, tags, or context window). Both models are usable for code via Railwail's OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so the safest path is to A/B test on your own prompts.
Can I use both FILM Frame Interpolation and HunyuanVideo via Railwail?
Yes. Both FILM Frame Interpolation and HunyuanVideo are accessible through a single Railwail API key and the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint. You only change the "model" parameter to switch between them โ€” no SDK swap, no separate billing.
How do I switch from FILM Frame Interpolation to HunyuanVideo?
Replace the model identifier "google-research/frame-interpolation" with "tencent/hunyuan-video" in your request payload. Everything else โ€” API key, base URL, request shape โ€” stays the same. See the code example on this page for the exact one-line change.
