What Is Happy Horse AI Video Generator?

The #1-ranked open-source model for text-to-video and image-to-video creation

Happy Horse is an AI video generator that converts text descriptions or still images into 1080p video clips with synchronized audio. Built on a 15-billion-parameter Transformer architecture with DMD-2 distillation, it completes rendering in approximately 38 seconds using only 8 denoising steps. The model generates video and audio jointly — lip-synced dialogue, ambient sound, and music arrive in the same output. It supports seven languages natively: English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, German, and French. Happy Horse reached #1 on the Artificial Analysis Video Arena leaderboard with an Elo score of 1333 for text-to-video and 1392 for image-to-video. The full model, inference code, and commercial license are open-source.
