Errors & fallback routing

CodeWhat it meansWhat to do
401Missing or invalid API key.Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LLMAPI_KEY and check the key is active.
429Rate limited, or the upstream provider is throttling the request.Back off and retry with jitter; the gateway also retries the request on another provider where one is available.
5xxUpstream provider error or timeout.Retry; fallback routing sends the retry to the next healthy provider for this model.

When a provider fails or throttles, the request is routed to the next provider serving this model — the ones listed in the providers table above.

HappyHorse-1.1-I2V in production

What the model is good at.

  • Text-to-video generation

    Synthesizes short video clips from prompts for ads, explainers, and social. Grounded in the model's video role rather than generic chat claims.

When to Use — When NOT to Use

Use it if...

  • You can tolerate longer generation times than chat (HappyHorse-1.1-I2V)
  • You are building short-form generative video features (HappyHorse-1.1-I2V)
  • You need resolution-tiered pricing for motion content (HappyHorse-1.1-I2V)

Avoid if...

  • You need broadcast-length films or guaranteed cinema-grade continuity
  • You only need still images or chat text
  • You require sub-second interactive generation

LLM API rating for HappyHorse-1.1-I2V

★ 2.6/ 5.0LLM API rating

Estimated from published specs

How is this rating calculated?

Every model gets a separate 1.0–5.0 score for each category it can be used in, so a model can rate high for coding and lower for vision. The score combines three parts:

  1. Production adoption — 50%. How widely the model is actually used in production: provider traffic, LiteLLM and gateway usage, open-weight downloads and its LMArena rank. Proven, widely used models score highest.
  2. Category benchmark — 30%. The public benchmark that matters for that category — the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and LMArena Elo for reasoning, LMArena coding Elo for coding, image and document support plus vision Elo for vision, tool and JSON support for function calling, measured speed for voice.
  3. Tooling & value — 20%. Context window, support for tools, structured outputs and streaming, and price compared with the category median.

Scores of 4.0 and above are shown in green, 3.0–3.9 in yellow, below 3.0 in red. When a model has no public data for a part, it gets a neutral value instead of an invented number.

A “Verified benchmark” mark (✓) means an independent lab — LMArena or Artificial Analysis — has actually tested that model, and the source figure is shown. Models without that mark are labelled “Estimated from published specs”: the score comes from the published context window, tool and schema support, price and adoption only, because no independent lab has tested them yet.

One exception: a brand-new top-tier model that scores very high on the independent benchmarks but has no usage history yet is rated on the benchmark (60%) and tooling & value (40%) alone, so a missing adoption figure can't hold it back. All inputs come from public sources and are refreshed weekly.

Adoption and benchmark inputs come from public sources — LMArena, Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and published model specs. Updated weekly.
