ACE-Step v1.5 XL SFT
ACE-Step v1.5 XL SFT is the supervised fine-tuned 4B DiT variant in the ACE-Step 1.5 XL line. It is positioned as the highest-quality XL option, combining 50-step CFG inference with stronger prompt adherence and refined audio quality for text-to-music, cover, and repaint workflows when final output quality matters more than speed or broader editing task coverage.

API Options
Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.
taskType
stringrequiredvalue: audioInferenceIdentifier for the type of task being performed
taskUUID
stringrequiredUUID v4UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.
outputType
stringdefault: URLAudio output type.
Allowed values3 values
outputFormat
stringdefault: MP3Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.
- `MP3`: Compressed audio, smaller file size.
- `WAV`: Uncompressed, high-quality audio.
- `FLAC`: Lossless compression.
- `OGG`: Open-source compressed audio format (Vorbis codec).
Allowed values4 values
audioSettings
objectAudio encoding settings for controlling the bitrate, number of channels, and sample rate of the generated audio. Only applicable for lossy output formats (
MP3andOGG). When using lossless formats (WAVorFLAC), this parameter must not be provided.The available sample rates and valid bitrate ranges depend on the output format. For
OGG, bitrate limits also vary by the number of channels.MP3 bitrate limits
Bitrate limits for MP3 are the same regardless of mono or stereo.

webhookURL
stringURISpecifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

uploadEndpoint
stringURISpecifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.
Common use cases:
- Cloud storage: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
- CDN integration: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600 // Google Cloud Storage presigned URL https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789 // Custom storage endpoint https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpgThe content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.
