Happy Horse 1.1

the most underrated model in the category

$0.14 / second at 720p, $0.18 at 1080p#multilingual-dialogue-vi

fourth on the with-audio leaderboard at eighteen cents a second for 1080p, with multilingual lip sync — it beats models costing more than twice as much and almost nobody has heard of it.

happy horse comes from alibaba's taotian group rather than the tongyi lab behind wan, which is why it shows up on leaderboards as a separate vendor. it launched in june and immediately placed fourth on artificial analysis for text-to-video with audio.

for context on what that means: kling's 4K tier costs $0.42 a second and ranks below it. happy horse does 1080p with native audio for $0.18.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

fourth on the with-audio leaderboard at eighteen cents a second for 1080p, with multilingual lip sync — it beats models costing more than twice as much and almost nobody has heard of it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
