Account- and model-specific concurrency, counting queued and processing requests. Dashboard limits are authoritative; current guide describes HTTP 400 on saturation and no standard rate-limit or Retry-After headers.Source for Request quotas (opens in a new tab)
The introductory blog advertises 20 concurrent requests after key creation. This is not assumed to be every account or model limit.
Safe request retries
Optional Idempotency-Key: 1–255 visible ASCII characters without whitespace. Same account, endpoint, body and webhook reuse the original request ID; mismatches return 422. Read status_url for current state.Source for Safe request retries (opens in a new tab)
Generation submissions only. Replays are not new generations and are not prompt caching; no expiry interval is established.
Pricing coverage
Published USD model tariffs; authenticated /estimate/{model-path} gives a configuration quote. Example credits/usd values in shared documentation are illustrative, not this model’s rate.Source for Pricing coverage (opens in a new tab)
Billing basis
Video tokens = ceil((input-video seconds + generated-video seconds) × output width × output height × 24 / 1024). Image and audio references do not add input-video seconds.Source for Billing basis (opens in a new tab)
24 is a billing factor, not an output frame-rate guarantee.
Detailed model documentation uses Authorization: Key with the official @higgsfield/client SDK. The console API page body instead shows a generic Bearer client; use the detailed contract and verify account access.Source for Configuration discrepancy (opens in a new tab)

Rate conditions
480p or 720p; standard rate before customer discounts. Output pixels and generated duration determine tokens. Image/audio references do not trigger the video-reference discount.
480p or 720p; 0.6× standard rate. Both input-video and generated-video durations are billable at output dimensions. Before customer discounts.
API content may be used for training unless the workspace opts out; processing can take 10 business days and is prospective. Enterprise agreements can differ. Request records remain while the account is active; generated files are available for at least seven days. Zero retention requires an eligible enterprise addendum. Partner/excluded-model policies can differ.
Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.
01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain
The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.
02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state
Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.
03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate
Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say
No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.
Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.
The record behind the model
Why it is included
Higgsfield describes Cinema Studio as a filmmaking environment built on interchangeable video models. This record represents the public 4.0 orchestration contract, not an independently established private foundation checkpoint.
