inference-sh-cli

A command-line tool for running more than 150 hosted AI applications for image and video creation, language models, search, 3D work, and social automation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for available AI apps and run tasks such as generating images or videos, performing AI-powered searches, or creating avatars and lip-sync videos.
Why use it?
It provides one terminal interface for cloud AI services, so you do not need to manage each provider separately or own a graphics processor.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

inference-sh-cli scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

inference.sh CLI

Run 150+ AI apps in the cloud with a simple CLI. No GPU required.

All commands use the terminal tool to run infsh commands.

When to Use

  • User asks to generate images (FLUX, Reve, Seedream, Grok, Gemini image)
  • User asks to generate video (Veo, Wan, Seedance, OmniHuman)
  • User asks about inference.sh or infsh
  • User wants to run AI apps without managing individual provider APIs
  • User asks for AI-powered search (Tavily, Exa)
  • User needs avatar/lipsync generation

Prerequisites

The infsh CLI must be installed and authenticated. Check with:

infsh me

If not installed:

curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh
infsh login

See references/authentication.md for full setup details.

Workflow

1. Always Search First

Never guess app names — always search to find the correct app ID:

infsh app list --search flux
infsh app list --search video
infsh app list --search image

2. Run an App

Use the exact app ID from the search results. Always use --json for machine-readable output:

infsh app run <app-id> --input '{"prompt": "your prompt here"}' --json

3. Parse the Output

The JSON output contains URLs to generated media. Present these to the user with MEDIA:<url> for inline display.

Common Commands

Image Generation

# Search for image apps
infsh app list --search image

# FLUX Dev with LoRA
infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{"prompt": "sunset over mountains", "num_images": 1}' --json

# Gemini image generation
infsh app run google/gemini-2-5-flash-image --input '{"prompt": "futuristic city", "num_images": 1}' --json

# Seedream (ByteDance)
infsh app run bytedance/seedream-5-lite --input '{"prompt": "nature scene"}' --json

# Grok Imagine (xAI)
infsh app run xai/grok-imagine-image --input '{"prompt": "abstract art"}' --json

Video Generation

# Search for video apps
infsh app list --search video

# Veo 3.1 (Google)
infsh app run google/veo-3-1-fast --input '{"prompt": "drone shot of coastline"}' --json

# Seedance (ByteDance)
infsh app run bytedance/seedance-1-5-pro --input '{"prompt": "dancing figure", "resolution": "1080p"}' --json

# Wan 2.5
infsh app run falai/wan-2-5 --input '{"prompt": "person walking through city"}' --json

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
