mm-gateway: One Provider-Neutral API for Image, Video, and Music Generation

An open-source Python gateway called mm-gateway provides a provider-neutral API for image, video, and music generation, abstracting away SDK quirks from OpenAI, Volcengine, and Mureka. The project, hosted on GitHub under sloth-os, aims to simplify backend swapping and failover by using a strict, modality-specific envelope that adapters translate to native formats.

Every generative-AI app I worked on hit the same wall. Pick a backend — OpenAI for images, Volcengine for video, Mureka for music — and before long the app is full of that provider's SDK quirks: its field names, its sync-vs-async polling loop, its error shapes. Then if want to swap one backend, or add a second one for failover, and it's a rewrite.

** mm-gateway** is an open-source Python gateway that sits in front of that mess. One provider-neutral contract — over

The idea is simple: provider wire formats never appear in application code. Every request goes through a strict, modality-specific envelope — an ordered list of typed input parts plus provider-neutral parameters — and each backend adapter translates that to its native SDK or REST shape.
