Install CLI
bash
curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh
belt loginWhat does the installer do? The install script detects your OS and architecture, downloads the correct binary fromdist.inference.sh, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and places it in your PATH. That's it — no elevated permissions, no background processes, no telemetry. If you have cosign installed, the installer also verifies the Sigstore signature automatically. Manual install (if you prefer not to pipe to sh): ``bash # Download the binary and checksums curl -LO https://dist.inference.sh/cli/checksums.txt curl -LO $(curl -fsSL https://dist.inference.sh/cli/manifest.json | grep -o '"url":"[^"]*"' | grep $(uname -s | tr A-Z a-z)-$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/;s/aarch64/arm64/') | head -1 | cut -d'"' -f4) # Verify checksum sha256sum -c checksums.txt --ignore-missing # Extract and install tar -xzf inferencesh-cli-*.tar.gz mv inferencesh-cli-* ~/.local/bin/inferencesh
Quick Examples
bash
# Generate an image
belt app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{"prompt": "a cat astronaut"}'
# Generate a video
belt app run google/veo-3-1-fast --input '{"prompt": "drone over mountains"}'
# Call Claude
belt app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input '{"prompt": "Explain quantum computing"}'
# Web search
belt app run tavily/search-assistant --input '{"query": "latest AI news"}'
# Post to Twitter
belt app run x/post-tweet --input '{"text": "Hello from AI!"}'
# Generate 3D model
belt app run infsh/rodin-3d-generator --input '{"prompt": "a wooden chair"}'Local File Uploads
The CLI automatically uploads local files when you provide a path instead of a URL:
bash
# Upscale a local image
belt app run falai/topaz-image-upscaler --input '{"image": "/path/to/photo.jpg", "upscale_factor": 2}'
# Image-to-video from local file
belt app run falai/wan-2-5-i2v --input '{"image": "./my-image.png", "prompt": "make it move"}'
# Avatar with local audio and image
belt app run bytedance/omnihuman-1-5 --input '{"audio": "/path/to/speech.mp3", "image": "/path/to/face.jpg"}'
# Post tweet with local media
belt app run x/post-create --input '{"text": "Check this out!", "media": "./screenshot.png"}'Commands
