Alibaba Cloud has rolled out HappyHorse 1.1 as a finished tool for turning text, images or references into videos that keep characters looking consistent while adding synced sound, all delivered through its Model Studio API aimed at businesses and coders building real projects.
When I left Stability AI a couple of years ago I predicted we would see almost perfect video from Chinese labs around now
But it’s still amazing to see the quality of output reaching these levels where you can pretty much create anything you can imagine
Pay-as-you-go rates drop 40 percent through July 6 for the new model, though the break does not extend to prepaid plans or savings bundles.
The release emphasizes enterprise and developer integration with free trial seconds available on signup, while Emad Mostaque noted the launch backs his earlier views on Chinese AI progress without further specifics shared.
Many users praise Seedance 2.5's coherent multi-shot sequences and cinematic control in the new video synthesis demo as a major leap forward, while a few criticize the growing volume of low-quality AI-generated output.
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.
The upcoming @Seedance 2.5 model looking insane as well with multi asset input, way longer outputs etc
I would expect @grok imagine to keep pace and real time of this quality by end of next year (!)
Every pixel will be generated
And that has a lot of implications

@EMostaque Emad, MUCH of what you predicted over the years has become true. What's your next predictions?

@EMostaque @SeeDance @grok Seedance 2.5 is a demo. Grok Imagine is a cost center. The race isn't quality. It's inference margins at scale
@EMostaque How do you think that will impact social media/content and platforms like Netflix for example as well as IG
@EMostaque @SeeDance @grok Seedance 2.5 is next-level. Real-time creative freedom is coming fast.
AGI to ASI(depending on elite consensus) literally changes the ground beneath our feet in Bollywood, Nollywood and Hollywood. LA freeways & parking lots repurposed via Tesla FSD & Waymo (lidar fixes ahead). Gemini/Flow trails♊️⁉️. The legacy Big Six Media et al. must embrace open source over proprietary Enterprise suites or fossilize.
Seedance 2.5 demo is straight fire — those long coherent multi-shot sequences, heavy reference support, and cinematic control are seriously impressive. Multi-asset long-form gen unlocks a ton.
We're iterating fast on Grok Imagine video too, targeting real-time fidelity at this level and beyond. Every pixel generated changes the game for creators. The bar keeps rising — love to see it. Onward! 🚀
@EMostaque Yes
@EMostaque Stability AI's crash need to be studied for future generations. Just because they decided to become revenue first company, instead of innovation first!
@EMostaque the quality is hard to ignore now
@EMostaque How long until someone can create a high quality, full length movie...?
@EMostaque The video has come far but the voices suck and therefore the acting sucks. Just because video generation exists does not equate into taste or a story worth telling. Think fully AI movie success will be the exception not the norm
@EMostaque Video itself seems to be advancing as expected but I underestimated how long it would take for all of this to trickle down to video games
@PeterDiamandis @EMostaque Emad needs to be a regular on Moonshots 🙏
@PeterDiamandis @EMostaque so true. the last economy is exceptional. we need more.
Yep. SD 2 was a breakout moment for AI video. Not so much in visual clarity but in the ability to accept multiple references and that it fills in missing detail in a believable way. Dialogue etc I hope sound is better for SD 2.5 and it can accept more than 15 secs combined of audio/video. Imagine is great for vid generation but in an unintelligent way, you need to give it so much guidance.
@EMostaque @SeeDance @grok Seedance 2.5 here
absolutely cinema
@EMostaque @SeeDance @grok "Every pixel will be generated"
if you mean that literally, that would be extremely inefficient and unnecessary
@EMostaque That looks incredible! Would love to learn about the workflow
@EMostaque @SeeDance @grok inference demand for real-time pixel generation will swallow arbitrary compute like it didn't happen
