## When it is useful

Generate image/audio/video via TanStack AI generate helpers and adapters. Not ElevenLabs skills and not Replicate run-models. Every generate call needs a paid provider key. Pinned 0.42.0.

## The Catch

Not ElevenLabs or Replicate. Every generate-star needs a paid provider key. OSS SDK is 0 USD. Distinct from chat and tool-calling. Pinned 0.42.0.
