Access Leonardo AI through Orq.ai’s AI Router
Leonardo AI is a generative‑media platform (now part of Canva) that offers production‑grade APIs for image generation, video generation, upscaling, variations, and custom model workflows under token‑based or subscription plans. These models support high‑quality visual output, from photorealistic renders to stylized art, with plans that scale from hobbyists to enterprise teams.
Leonardo AI models available on Orq.ai
Model | Type | Context / scope | Best for | Pricing tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
FLUX.2 Pro / Phoenix High‑End | Image / video | Typically per image or per video clip; resolutions and frames vary | Studio‑grade image and video generation, marketing assets, key visuals where you want top quality and control | Premium – API access generally available from higher‑end plans (for example Maestro/Ultimate at about 48–60 USD/month with 60,000 tokens and API access); effective per‑image cost depends on resolution and token use |
Lucid Realism / Lucid Origin, FLUX Dev | Image | Priced in “fast tokens” per generation; typical 512–1024px | Everyday production visuals, product imagery, social content, and creative workflows balancing quality and speed | Mid‑tier – plans like Apprentice/Artisan (or Essential/Premium) at roughly 12–30 USD/month with 8,500–25,000 tokens; per‑image cost is moderate for most use cases |
FLUX Schnell / Nano Banana / lighter styles | Image / fast | Lower‑token modes for drafts and small assets | Fast, lower‑cost tasks such as thumbnails, variants, ideation drafts, and high‑volume image testing | Cost‑efficient – included in lower tiers and relaxed/“fast token” modes; effective per‑image cost is lowest when using relaxed generation options |
Why use Leonardo AI through Orq.ai?
Capability | Provider / models | Direct | Through Orq.ai |
|---|---|---|---|
Image | Leonardo image models (for example FLUX.2 Pro, Phoenix, Lucid, Seedream) | Call Leonardo’s Image Generation API directly for images, variations, and upscaling. | Use Leonardo image models through Orq.ai’s router to combine creative generation with routing, tracing, evals, budgets, and governance controls. |
Video | Leonardo video generation APIs | Use Leonardo’s video API directly to generate short clips or animations as part of creative workflows. | Route video workloads through Orq.ai, compare Leonardo output against other providers, and monitor cost and quality from one control layer. |
Other creative tools | Upscaling, variations, Canvas / Blueprint workflows | Use Leonardo’s UI and APIs for real‑time canvas editing, blueprints, and custom model training. | Orchestrate when to call Leonardo from Orq’s AI Router alongside text LLMs, embeddings, and tools, keeping one unified observability and control surface. |
This gives teams a practical way to use Leonardo AI where it performs best while centralising routing, observability, evals, and cost controls across the wider model stack.
Pricing
Plans and API access
Leonardo AI pricing is mainly subscription‑based with token buckets, with rough tiers:
Free: about 150 fast tokens per day, basic models, public generations, no API access and limited commercial rights.
Mid‑tier (Apprentice / Essential / Artisan / Premium): roughly 12–30 USD/month with 8,500–25,000 fast tokens per month, faster queues, private generations, and custom model training on some tiers.
High‑end (Maestro / Ultimate / Team plans): roughly 48–60 USD/month or per‑seat for 60,000+ tokens per month, highest priority queues, API access, and bulk or relaxed generation for images and video.
API usage is often included as part of higher‑tier subscriptions; some documentation mentions token‑based API billing per million tokens processed for production workloads.
Check the Orq.ai pricing page and your workspace’s provider configuration for current options around using Leonardo via Orq.ai.
Compatible frameworks and tools
Orq.ai exposes Leonardo AI through:
a Leonardo provider configuration in the AI Router / Integrations, using Leonardo’s Production API, and
HTTP/OpenAI‑compatible integrations in supported frameworks where applicable.
That means:
Existing backend workflows that already talk to Orq’s OpenAI‑compatible endpoint can be wired to call Leonardo image/video models through Orq.ai without a separate direct integration.
Agents, code assistants, and tools that integrate with Orq.ai (for example, via OpenAI‑compatible or HTTP tools) can be configured so that image/video steps are served by Leonardo, while text steps use other LLM providers.
Check the Orq.ai integration docs for the latest supported frameworks and tools for Leonardo AI.
FAQs
Do I need a separate Leonardo AI account to use Leonardo through Orq.ai?
You can either connect your own Leonardo AI API key (from a plan that includes API access) into Orq.ai or, where available, use Leonardo usage billed via Orq.ai; the exact options depend on your Orq plan, region, and how Leonardo is configured in your workspace. In both cases, Orq.ai gives you one place to manage routing, observability, and cost controls around that Leonardo usage.
Can I route only some workflows to Leonardo and others to different providers?
Yes. You define routes per workflow in Orq.ai and decide which ones should use Leonardo vs other image/video providers, so you can reserve Leonardo for specific styles, pipelines, or teams while sending other tasks to different providers.
Does using Leonardo through Orq.ai add latency?
Orq.ai is designed as a lightweight router layer, so the added overhead is small compared to image or video generation time. You can use routing policies, caching, and provider selection to keep end‑to‑end performance within your targets.
