36 PRs merged this week. We made the free tier heavier (gptimage-large and FLUX.1 Kontext are now free), compressed our API docs from 94KB to 37KB because nobody likes scrolling forever, and played backend musical chairs to keep DeepSeek and Gemini stable.
The community showcase is overflowing with 20+ new apps. Also, Polly is now officially managing repo triage. She decides your issue's fate now.

Shipped a few things this week to make your HTTP calls a little happier. 🛠️ Moved some heavy lifters (kimi, deepseek, glm) over to Fireworks, so text generation is noticeably faster and smarter. Sana image generation is now sitting at a ridiculous 165ms. And for the frontend folks, we fixed the CORS headers — OpenAI SDKs now work directly in the browser. No more proxy gymnastics.

Shipped a few things this week to make the infrastructure a little nicer to use.
First, we added dynamic balance estimates to the pricing table, so you no longer have to do mental math to figure out what your pollen balance actually means. Second, fixed the website headers—they're big again, and the subtitles match the pattern. Finally, routed Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite to the Vertex global endpoint for better reliability.
Less math, nicer fonts, steadier pipes. All live at pollinations.ai 🧮✨

23 PRs merged today. The big news: gptimage-large and FLUX.1 Kontext are now completely free. We dropped the paywall so you can generate heavier pixels without thinking about credits.
We also welcomed a massive wave of 20 new community apps to the ecosystem—everything from AI wallpapers to Isekai character generators. The garden is growing fast. 🌱
Finally, if DeepSeek or Kimi were dropping connections for you lately, we fixed it. Rolled back the routing, ate the bugs, connections are stable again.

6 PRs merged. We put the API docs on a diet (94KB down to 37KB) to make them easier for agents to digest, and fed some new endpoints to llm.txt while we were at it. Also fixed a CUDA hang issue so generation runs smoother, added URV AI Chat to the community showcase, and gave the README some fresh images. Building open-source infrastructure is mostly just feeding machines and keeping them from freezing. Come build with us at pollinations.ai 🐝💻

66 PRs merged this week. The audio and video engines basically got a V8 swap — dedicated TTS/music endpoints, ACE-Step 1.5, and media caching.
The SDK got a massive cleanup. We added proper API key management endpoints (create, list, revoke) so you can finally organize your keys without duct tape.
We also wired up Wan 2.7 and Klein 4B for images, and watched the community launch 25+ new apps to the showcase. Plus, a CatGPT Discord bot, because the internet remains undefeated.
Full changelog on GitHub. Go build something weird. 🐝✨

19 PRs merged. The SDK got a massive overhaul this week: dedicated audio endpoints for TTS and music, plus image editing is live. Added programmatic API key management so you can create and revoke keys without leaving your terminal. We also cleaned up the app directory, fed the stale data to the void, and wired up some new Discord bot frameworks. Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite is in, Claude is on Bedrock. Code is open, docs are updated.

11 PRs merged this week. Audio got a massive bump with ACE-Step 1.5 and OpenAI's new models (mini and large) — your generated beats and voices sound a lot better now. We also wired up Wan 2.7 for when you need to generate very large, very pretty pixels.
CatGPT now has vision, meaning the AI cat can actually see the images you upload before roasting them. Plus, five new community apps joined the ecosystem. We invalidated some stale API key caches while we were at it. Nomnom ate the old ones.

7 PRs merged this week.
The big one: video generation via LTX-2 just hit warp speed on GH200. Your ideas render faster now.
We also added four new community apps to the greenhouse (math, sci-vis, writing, and a graphic editor), and did some much-needed maintenance on the Sirius Cybernetics elevator game. Nomnom ate the bugs, so no more getting stuck in the void on logout.

9 PRs merged this week and the greenhouse is officially overflowing.
CatGPT is now live on Discord generating sassy webcomics, the Sirius Cybernetics Elevator got a fresh coat of paint (and some much-needed responsive UI fixes), and we welcomed a whole new batch of bots and apps to the ecosystem (RPG engines, lenses, and more). The nomnom creature is feasting well today.

86 PRs merged this week. The repo was busy.
We added an avalanche of frontier models: Alibaba Qwen, Amazon Nova, xAI Grok, and Wan2.2 video. All available through the usual endpoints.
We also moved all tiers to hourly pollen refills. If you burn through your allowance, you just wait an hour instead of a month. Makes more sense for how people actually build.
Other updates: Headless auth for CLI logins, a new App Ecosystem dashboard for BYOP tracking, and we scrubbed some corporate marketing speak off the site. We're a hackerspace, not a B2B SaaS platform.
Check the repo for the full changelog. Keep building. 🐝👾

10 PRs merged this week. The showcase is getting crowded in the best way possible—7 new community apps just landed (shoutout to OrchidLLM, TranslateIt, Tofu, Storymake, Apiction, visiona, and opencode).
We also re-routed dedicated audio models so they actually hit the right endpoint now, polished up the dashboard UI, and squashed a race condition that was keeping stale translations hanging around on category switches.
