Recommended route
- Start with: varg AI (
varg-ai) — varg makes the images on one key, a few credits each; text layout renders locally. - Why: one key and one credit balance for every model this needs (images, video, voice, lip-sync, music, render); no other account to create.
- Alternative: Social Media Carousel (
inference-sh-social-media-carousel) — Carousel structure, hooks and text hierarchy for Instagram, LinkedIn and X · Needs: inference.sh account, belt CLI (belt login)
