Image and video-based video generation from Alibaba

HappyHorse 1.0 is a video generation model developed by Alibaba, released in 2026. It accepts a range of input types including a first-frame image, a source video, and one or more reference images, allowing users to generate or edit video content from existing visual material. The model supports configurable resolution, aspect ratio, and duration settings, giving users control over the output format. Pricing is usage-based, ranging from $0.14 to $0.24 per second of generated video.

HappyHorse 1.0 is designed for workflows that involve transforming still images into video, editing existing video footage, or guiding generation with reference imagery.

It is suited for creative and production use cases where video output needs to be grounded in specific source visuals.
