Vidu Q1 Start-End
zhipuzhipu/viduq1-start-end
How TheRouter serves this differently from the vendor
As the vendor operates it
Zhipu's native MaaS API exposes Vidu Q1 Start-End at /api/paas/v4/videos/generations using upstream model name viduq1-start-end and accepts image_url as an array of two images.
On TheRouter
TheRouter serves the same start-end capability under public id zhipu/viduq1-start-end through its routed video-generation surface with unified TheRouter auth, pricing, and parameter catalog.
