HiDream-O1-Video-1.0, called HD-V1, is HiDream.ai's first native full-modality video generation model built for creators and brands who need short clips that actually obey real-world physics instead of glitching every other frame. Released on September 15, 2026, it extends the company's earlier image, interactive-world, and embodied-world models into a single coherent video pipeline.
Core Features
- Multi-modal input: accepts text, image, and video prompts in one go to drive a 5 to 20 second 1080p clip.
- Physics-aware generation through an online adaptive physical constraint mechanism, so objects fall, collide, and cast light the way they should.
- Autonomous narrative planning plus audio-video unified generation, so a single prompt produces a coherent scene with matching sound.
- Benchmark standing: ranked 4th on the Artificial Analysis Image-to-Video (with audio) leaderboard and 8th in the Arena.ai image-to-video blind test at launch.
Use Cases
- Content creators producing character- or product-driven videos where consistency and believable motion matter more than flashy effects.
- Marketing teams making physically plausible demo or explainer clips without a live-action shoot.
- Educators and indie studios who want a bouncing-ball physics check rendered correctly on the first try.
Pricing
HiDream offers HD-V1 through its creation platform (including the vivagoR1 agent) and an API. A free exploration tier is available, with paid API credits for production-volume rendering. Exact per-second rates are published on the platform rather than as a flat public list price.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Genuine physics coherence and narrative planning; strong launch benchmarks; unified audio-video output.
- Cons: 20-second max clip length; pricing is credit-based rather than a flat published rate.
Our Take: Best for creators who prioritize physical coherence and narrative consistency over raw spectacle; the trade-off is a 20-second ceiling that lags the longer-form output some rivals now offer. Explore more generators in our AI Video category and the underlying engines in AI Models.
