Question 1

What is Happy Horse in Flik AI?

Accepted Answer

Happy Horse is Alibaba's video generation model, ranked #1 on the Artificial Analysis Video Arena for both text-to-video and image-to-video. Flik AI gives you direct access alongside Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 Pro, Seedance 2.0, and Hailuo 2.3 — pick Happy Horse when you want top-ranked human-preferred output with native audio in a single pass.

Question 2

What can Happy Horse do that other models can't?

Accepted Answer

Happy Horse generates audio and video jointly through a unified 40-layer self-attention transformer with no cross-attention modules — output is faster (1080p in ~40 seconds) and audio sync is tighter than two-pass pipelines. It supports multilingual lip-sync across Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, and French, plus four input modes: text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-image reference-to-video (up to 9 character refs), and natural-language video editing.

Question 3

How is Happy Horse priced?

Accepted Answer

Happy Horse is pay-per-second: $0.14/second at 720p and $0.28/second at 1080p. Video-edit mode is double rate (input + output billed). Inside Flik AI, billing is dynamic per second — no minimums or subscriptions to access the model.

Question 4

How do I pick the right Happy Horse mode?

Accepted Answer

Just attach what you have — Flik AI auto-selects the variant. No image and no video → text-to-video. One image → image-to-video. Two to nine images → reference-to-video (use character1, character2, …, in your prompt to refer to subjects). A source video (with optional reference images) → video-edit (use @Image1, @Image2, … to reference up to 5 ref images).

Question 5

Happy Horse vs Veo 3.1 vs Seedance 2.0 — which should I pick?

Accepted Answer

Happy Horse currently leads the Artificial Analysis Video Arena for human preference and is the fastest path to 1080p with native audio. Veo 3.1 has the strongest dialogue and cinematic motion. Seedance 2.0 is the most multimodal (images + videos + audio refs in one call) and supports beat-synced motion. In Flik AI you can switch between all three shot by shot in the same project.
