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 — using Riffusion
let r = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "riffusion/riffusion",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});

// After — switched to Kokoro TTS 82M
r = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "jaaari/kokoro-82m",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});

Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper, Riffusion or Kokoro TTS 82M?
Riffusion and Kokoro TTS 82M 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, Riffusion or Kokoro TTS 82M?
Riffusion and Kokoro TTS 82M have similar context windows (— vs —).
Is Riffusion better than Kokoro TTS 82M for coding?
For coding-heavy workloads we lean toward Riffusion on this comparison — 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 Riffusion and Kokoro TTS 82M via Railwail?
Yes. Both Riffusion and Kokoro TTS 82M 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 — no SDK swap, no separate billing.
How do I switch from Riffusion to Kokoro TTS 82M?
Replace the model identifier "riffusion/riffusion" with "jaaari/kokoro-82m" in your request payload. Everything else — API key, base URL, request shape — stays the same. See the code example on this page for the exact one-line change.
