# Pay for image, video, and audio generation

Let your agents generate images, videos, audio, and speech — pay per generation with stablecoins on Tempo. Access 600+ models through fal.ai, or use OpenAI, Gemini, and Deepgram directly.

## The media generation payment problem

Media generation APIs require separate accounts and API keys per provider. Costs vary wildly by model and resolution, making budgeting unpredictable. Agents that need to generate a product image, a voiceover, and a video clip in a single workflow must juggle three sets of credentials and billing systems.

## How MPP enables paid media generation

With MPP, your agent pays per generation using stablecoins on Tempo. The price is declared upfront in the `402` Challenge — the agent knows exactly what it will pay before generating anything. One wallet, one balance, any provider.

**Tempo Charge** is ideal for media generation: each request is a discrete unit with a known cost. The agent signs a TIP-20 transfer, the provider verifies it in ~500ms, and returns the generated media.
