Alibaba's HappyHorse Is Now on AI Edit

**HappyHorse 1.0** from **Alibaba** is now available on AI Edit - and it arrived quietly at #1 on the Artificial Analysis Video Arena leaderboard before most people even knew what it was.

The model comes from *Alibaba's ATH AI Innovation Unit* - the same team that built **Kling**. It tops the text-to-video and image-to-video rankings without audio, and sits right next to **Seedance 2.0** in the audio categories. Independent scores, not self-reported.

The thing that stands out when you actually use it is motion. People walk like people. Water moves like water. Camera pans stay stable. It sounds obvious but it's still rare enough to notice.

Audio comes out alongside the video in one pass - dialogue, sound effects, ambient noise, all in sync. Lip sync works too, which saves a lot of manual cleanup if you're working with characters speaking on screen.

A few more things worth knowing:

- Works from text prompts or images - good for animating portraits, product shots, concept art
- Prompts work in English, Chinese, and Japanese natively - no translation step
- Handles complex multi-shot sequences and detailed prompts better than most

**HappyHorse 1.0** is live now in [Video Generation](https://aiedit.com/video-generate), [Video Continuation](https://aiedit.com/video-continue) and [Chat](https://aiedit.com/chat).
