Strong prompt fidelity
Alibaba's training emphasizes cinematic motion, subject consistency, and prompt adherence — especially good for character continuity across reference-to-video and edit/extend chains.

Questions fréquemment posées
What is HappyHorse 1.0?
HappyHorse 1.0 is Alibaba's cinematic AI video generation model, available on Hypereal in five modes: text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, video edit, and video extend.
Which HappyHorse 1.0 modes are available?
All five: T2V (text-to-video), I2V (image-to-video), Ref2V (reference-to-video), video edit (prompt-driven restyle), and video extend (continue an existing clip). They all share the same /v1/videos/generate endpoint.
How is HappyHorse 1.0 priced?
All modes share the same rate: $0.53 per 5-second 720p video or $0.94 per 5-second 1080p video. Pricing scales linearly with duration, so a 10-second clip costs 2x a 5-second clip.
Can I use multiple reference images?
Yes. happyhorse-1-0-ref2v accepts an images array of reference URLs for character or style consistency. The video-edit endpoint also accepts optional reference images for stronger visual guidance.
Can I edit or extend an existing video?
Yes. Use happyhorse-1-0-video-edit to restyle or transform a source video, and happyhorse-1-0-video-extend to seamlessly continue from the last frame of an existing clip.
How does HappyHorse compare to Seedance, Kling, or Veo?
Check Hypereal and provider live pricing before making direct comparisons. Published rates can change as upstream costs shift.
How do I test it?
Yes. Sign up, use the live checkout to add credits, then test HappyHorse and every other Hypereal video model.
