Authentication
Bearer API key; JSON request body.Source for Authentication (opens in a new tab)
Request quotas
Per-key request limits vary by endpoint. Account-wide 5 concurrent tasks shared within the model processing category. HTTP 429: code 1007 for request limits, 2000 for concurrency.Source for Request quotas (opens in a new tab)

These are category pools, not separate allowances per model. No fixed requests-per-second quota is published here.

Asynchronous generation
SupportedSource for Asynchronous generation (opens in a new tab)

Task ID followed by status polling or webhook; not progressive model-output streaming.

Task refunds
Credits are frozen when a task is created, consumed on success, and released on failure or cancellation.Source for Task refunds (opens in a new tab)
Data retention
Not collected

Task expiry does not establish a retention duration.

Usage metering
Native USD task prices. Texture quality and optional processing can add charges; not billed by text tokens.Source for Usage metering (opens in a new tab)
PBR materials
SupportedSource for PBR materials (opens in a new tab)

PBR enabled by default; existing geometry is not regenerated.

Output formats
GLBSource for Output formats (opens in a new tab)

GLB is shown in the result example; this is not an exhaustive export-format guarantee. H-series quad generation explicitly forces FBX.

150 MB mesh upload; decimal byte conversion.

Required request fields
One mesh source: URL, file_token or a prior generation task_id. Text, one image, or exactly four reference images are mutually exclusive guidance modes; style_image may accompany text.Source for Required request fields (opens in a new tab)
Reference images
Four-image guidance order: front, left, back, right. Recommended reference resolution at least 256 × 256 pixels.Source for Reference images (opens in a new tab)
Texture resolution
standard, detailed (HD), extreme (8K). Fast is rejected.Source for Texture resolution (opens in a new tab)
Mesh processing controls

Data & enterprise terms

Section 5.2.2 (Paid Users) says inputs and outputs are not used to train, validate, test or improve AI technology. Free-user rights differ. No numeric retention duration or zero-retention guarantee was verified.

Caching

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

Qualified inference from provider-hosted named models and terms restricting recovery of underlying models. Reviewed public VAST repositories publish separate TripoSR, TripoSG and TripoSF weights, not these named H/P/Texture API selections. Internal checkpoint identities and individual weight licenses are not disclosed; this is not exhaustive proof of absence.
