New video models in Givon AI: Kling 3.0 Turbo, Seedance 2.0 Mini, and HappyHorse 1.1
Givon AI added three new video tiers: Kling 3.0 Turbo for fast drafts, Seedance 2.0 Mini as the most affordable tier of Seedance 2.0 (the current Artificial Analysis arena leader), and HappyHorse 1.1 from Alibaba for people in frame with native sound. Topaz Astra, a 4K finishing upscaler, is coming soon.
Givon AI added three new video tiers — Kling 3.0 Turbo, Seedance 2.0 Mini, and HappyHorse 1.1 — plus a separate finishing tool, Topaz Astra, coming soon.
The idea is to cover three common situations: fast, cheap idea exploration (Seedance 2.0 Mini), quick previews inside the Kling family (Kling 3.0 Turbo), and people-in-frame video with synchronized sound (HappyHorse 1.1).
Topaz Astra is different: not generation, but finishing. It takes a finished clip and upscales it to 4K, adding detail and texture to remove the plastic look of AI video. It opens a bit later.

What changed
Kling 3.0 Turbo
The fast tier of Kling 3.0: text-to-video and image-to-video, clips up to 15 seconds, 720p/1080p. Built for quick drafts you can rerun on a higher tier.
Seedance 2.0 Mini
The most affordable tier of Seedance 2.0 — the current Artificial Analysis arena leader. Text, image, and video reference, native sound, up to 15 seconds. Made for volume and fast concepts.
HappyHorse 1.1
An updated Alibaba model focused on people in frame, with native synchronized sound. Up to 9 references for a consistent character, 720p/1080p, up to 15 seconds.
Topaz Astra — coming soon
Finishing pass: upscale a finished clip to 4K and reconstruct detail. Removes the plastic look of AI video. Coming to the catalog soon.
Kling 3.0 Turbo
Kling 3.0 Turbo: a fast tier for drafts
Kling 3.0 is Kuaishou's third-generation video line: stronger frame consistency, more photorealistic output, and clips up to 15 seconds. Turbo is the fast tier of that line — run quick takes to test motion and framing, then rerun the best idea on a higher Kling tier.
Text-to-video and image-to-video
Generate from a description or animate a starting frame.
3–15 seconds, 720p/1080p
Any length in that range; 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1.
Built for speed
Faster than higher Kling tiers — for quick drafts before a final render.
No sound or end frame in this route
The model itself has native audio, but the current provider route returns video without sound and without end-frame control. Need sound? See HappyHorse 1.1 or Seedance 2.0 Mini.
Seedance 2.0 Mini
Seedance 2.0 Mini: cheap and fast, for volume
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's multimodal video model — text, image, video, and audio in; multi-shot clips up to 15 seconds with native sound out. It currently ranks first for video with sound on the independent Artificial Analysis arena, in both text-to-video and image-to-video. Mini is its most affordable tier: built for volume and speed — fast drafts, concepts, and short-form — with the option to rerun a favorite on a higher Seedance tier for final quality.
Text, image, and video reference
Generate, animate a frame, or guide motion with a video reference; up to 9 image references.
Native sound, toggleable
Sound is generated with the video; in Mini you can turn it on or off.
480p/720p, 4–15 seconds
Light resolutions tuned for speed and volume.
HappyHorse 1.1
HappyHorse 1.1: people in frame and native sound
HappyHorse is an Alibaba video model that appeared anonymously on the Artificial Analysis arena in spring 2026 and took first place for visual quality in the no-audio ranking; Alibaba later confirmed authorship. HappyHorse 1.1 is the updated version. Its strength is people in frame — faces, expressions, speech — and it generates sound natively, together with the video in one pass. With sound, 1.1 sits right behind Seedance 2.0 near the top of the arena.
Text, image, and references
Generate from a description, animate a frame, or work from a set of visual references.
Up to 9 references
Lock a character, outfit, and style with reference images held across the clip.
Native synchronized sound
Audio is generated with the video — built into the architecture, not a separate step.
Topaz Astra · soon
Topaz Astra: take a finished clip to 4K
Topaz Astra solves a different problem — finishing, not generation. This Topaz Labs tool takes a finished clip and upscales it to 4K, reconstructing detail and texture, and it is built to remove the plastic look of AI video. It works as video → video with no text prompt, and Topaz officially supports clips from generators like Seedance, Kling, Veo, and Sora — so it cleans up exactly what you generate in Givon AI. Astra opens soon.
Upscale and enhance to 4K
Raises the resolution of a finished clip and reconstructs detail and texture.
Removes the plastic AI look
Adds believable texture so frames look less synthetic.
Video → video, no prompt
Nothing to describe: a clip in, an improved clip out.
Coming soon
Topaz Astra arrives in Givon AI a bit later. It is a finishing step: generate a clip with one of the video models, then take it to 4K.
