Which Sume video models take an audio_url reference, which do not

Sume video rows list supported_input_references per model. The docs show seedance-2 with audio_url, H3 Max with audio, and Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 without it.

Check supported_input_references on the model row in GET /v1/videos/models. The Sume docs show seedance-2 with image_url, video_url and audio_url, say MiniMax H3 Max reports image, video and audio references, and say Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 accepts image and video references with no audio. A model that does not list audio_url cannot take an audio reference.

What the docs list

The statements come from the Videos docs. The seedance-2 entry is the sample row in the docs, so confirm it against the live response before you rely on it.

Reference types by model, as the Sume docs describe them (read 2026-10-07)

gemini-omni-flash-1.1YesYesNo

Why it matters

An audio reference lets you steer a clip with a voice or a music track. If you send an unsupported reference type to a model that does not list it, expect a 400 rather than a quiet ignore, which is how Sume treats unlisted fields on its image route. The video route docs say the same of unsupported fields, so read the row first.

  • Omni Flash 1.1 has native synced audio generation, so you may not need an audio reference at all.
  • generate_audio defaults to the audio capability of the model.
  • For a specific voice, generate the speech first, then use a model whose row lists audio_url.
