Picsart CLI & MCP

Changelog ​

Notable changes to the Picsart model catalog and these docs. Newest first. The catalog is served by @picsart/ai-sdk; the same models are reachable from the CLI, the MCP server, and Skills.

2026-07-17 ​

Catalog refresh — now 169 models across 31 providers (@picsart/ai-sdk 3.17.0).

  • New models — Seedream 5.0 Pro (text-to-image, see Seedream), Nano Banana 2 Lite (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image, see Google), ElevenLabs Music v2 (full music tracks, see ElevenLabs), and Picsart Angle Change (picsart-qwen-image-edit-angle, image editing, see Picsart).
  • Recraft V4 & V4.1 image-to-image. All 12 V4/V4.1 models (base, Pro, Utility, Utility Pro, and their vector variants) now take an optional source image (-i) with an adjustable image weight (--weight, 0–100, default 80). See Recraft.
  • Happy Horse 1.1 — model ids renamed from happyhorse-1.5-* to happyhorse-1.1-* (same models; update any saved commands).
  • Parameter updates — Grok Imagine Video 1.5 adds 1080p; HeyGen Talking Photo prompt limit raised to 5000 chars; Ideogram Character now takes a required prompt; Seedance 2.0 reference images/videos must be at least 0.4MP; the ByteDance Video Upscaler now rejects sources at or above 1080p up front (it only upscales sub-1080p video).

Catalog refresh — now 165 models across 31 providers (@picsart/ai-sdk 3.10.0). A big lineup update since the 3.6.2 catalog:

  • Seedance 2.0 family — the full lineup. Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.0 Fast (text-to-video with keyframe control and native audio), each with a Video Edit and Video Extend variant, plus the new Seedance 2.0 Mini (T2V + edit + extend). See Seedance.
  • Text & analysis models (new mode) — analyze images and video with LLMs via gen-ai describe: Anthropic (new provider) Claude Opus 4.8 / Sonnet 4.6 / Haiku 4.5, OpenAI GPT-5.5, and Google Gemini 3 Pro (the only one that reads video). See Text & analysis.
  • Google — added the Imagen 4.0 family (4.0 / Ultra / Fast) and Gemini Omni.
  • Happy Horse — added Happy Horse 1.5 (text-to-video and ref-to-video).
  • Deprecated / retired — removed from the catalog: GPT Image 1, OpenAI TTS-1 / TTS-1 HD, the Kling image & multi-image family, LTX Pro / Fast / Retake, Wan 2.6 (T2V / R2V / Image), Seedream 4.0, Runway Gen-3 Turbo & Aleph, Recraft v2 (+ Vector), Qwen v1, and Seedance 1.5 Pro / I2V. These stay resolvable for historical jobs and pricing but are no longer offered for new generations.

New CLI command — gen-ai describe. Analyze an image or video with an LLM (Claude, GPT, or Gemini) and get a text answer — caption, OCR, classify, or summarize a clip. The prompt is optional, video auto-routes to a video-capable model, and output goes to stdout for easy piping. See the CLI Quickstart.

Try in Playground links. Every model now has a direct Try in Playground link — on each provider page's parameter section and on every card in the interactive Model Catalog — that opens the web Playground with the model preselected.
