Warnings
Pricing and product direction unclear
Daydream's pricing page now describes a credits-based product that 'streams audio' and trains 'Styles', which does not obviously match the StreamDiffusion video API. Confirm before building.
Deprecated prompt endpoint
The old 'Submit StreamDiffusion Prompt' route is deprecated; use the update-stream endpoint.
Decentralised network variability
Jobs route to independent orchestrators, so latency and capacity can vary.
Plus 9 warnings that apply to all avatars and live video APIs. See category warnings.
Limits
- 'Submit StreamDiffusion Prompt' endpoint marked deprecated in the API reference
