What is HappyHorse?
HappyHorse represents a breakthrough in AI video generation technology, featuring a unified 15-billion-parameter Transformer architecture that simultaneously processes text, video, and audio tokens. Unlike competing models that add audio as an afterthought, this platform generates video and audio jointly within a single 40-layer Transformer, making it the first open-source model to achieve true end-to-end audio-video synthesis from scratch. The system supports native 1080p and 2K cinema-grade output with built-in super-resolution capabilities.
Ranked #1 on the Artificial Analysis Arena with Elo scores of 1333–1357 for Text-to-Video and 1391–1406 for Image-to-Video, the platform delivers exceptional performance through DMD-2 distillation that reduces inference to just 8 steps. It natively supports multilingual lip-sync across Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, and French with an industry-leading word error rate of only 14.60%. The platform offers diverse aesthetic styles from photorealistic to anime and cyberpunk, with both text-to-video and image-to-video capabilities under a commercial-friendly open-source license.
