為何多模態 AI 需要類型化構件而非臨時 URL
本文介紹了 Orion VLM Run 的聊天補全 API 新增的構件（Artifacts）支援，讓多模態 AI 能將圖像和影片等媒體輸出作為第一類、類型化的參考而非原始 URL 來生成和檢索，從而改善開發者體驗和可組合性。

Introducing Artifacts Support for Orion
Introducing Artifacts Support for Orion

Today we're introducing Artifacts support for the VLM Run Orion Chat Completions API. This update lets you generate, transform, and retrieve images and videos as first-class outputs of an OpenAI-compatible chat completion. No more stitching together brittle URLs or managing custom storage layers.
What are artifacts?
Artifacts are media outputs such as images, video clips, masks, thumbnails, and other derived assets produced during an Orion session. Instead of returning raw URLs (which weakens developer experience as workflows grow more composable), Orion returns typed references like ImageRef and VideoRef inside your structured response.
These artifact references can be retrieved via structured outputs or fetched asynchronously using client.artifacts.get(session_id=..., object_id=...). Notably, these artifact references can also be passed back in to subsequent chat completions threads as input, making them a first-class part of your multi-modal workflows. This becomes especially important as Orion expands toward tool-calling and more composable multi-modal pipelines, where intermediate media outputs need to be reusable and reliable.
Why we created artifacts
Building real multi-modal systems is rarely "one request in, one response out." Teams chain steps: detect, crop, redact, annotate, generate variants, review, publish. The hardest part is not the model inference, but the glue code that moves media between steps. We created artifacts to make Orion a better substrate for these workflows.
Artifacts make multi-modal outputs composable. When the model creates or transforms media, you receive a stable reference you can store, pass into downstream steps, and reuse across your pipeline – without inventing ad-hoc conventions.
Artifacts remove the "URL tax. Temporary URLs, signed URLs, and external storage add latency and operational complexity. Artifact references keep your workflow typed and structured.
Artifacts keep media handling out of your orchestration logic. Orion stores outputs for the session lifetime, so your app can focus on routing, validation, approvals, and integrations.
Use-case: Virtual Try-On
For shopping and styling workflows, you often need multiple consistent outputs (front/back/side) that can be routed to review, listing creation, or personalization systems. Artifacts makes those images a first-class part of the structured response.
Use-case: Compliance and privacy workflows
Healthcare, finance, and public sector teams can generate redacted or blurred versions of images and return them as typed outputs alongside the JSON needed for auditability or downstream automation.
Use-case: 3D Reconstruction
Some workflows produce outputs that aren't just pixels: reconstructions, meshes, splats, and other derived assets. Orion can return these as artifact references too, so you can store the structured metadata in your app and retrieve the actual reconstruction file only when you need it.
Build with Artifacts today!
Artifacts support is available today for all Orion API users. Artifacts are retained for the session lifetime (currently 24 hours). You're billed for the compute used during the chat completion request; retrieving artifacts via client.artifacts.get() is free.
