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 2 is available to enhance and restyle finished video with an optional prompt, creativity, sharpness, realism, and 1080p/4K output.
Givon AI added three new video tiers — Kling 3.0 Turbo, Seedance 2.0 Mini, and HappyHorse 1.1 — plus the available Topaz Astra 2 video enhancer.
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 video enhancement and restyle. Astra 2 takes a finished clip, can use an optional prompt for the intended change, and offers 1080p or 4K output with creativity, sharpness, and realism controls.

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 — enhancement and restyle
A video-to-video enhancement and restyle pass. Add an optional prompt, choose 1080p or 4K, and tune creativity, sharpness, and realism.
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
Topaz Astra: enhance or restyle a finished clip
Topaz Astra solves a different problem — enhancement and restyle, not generation. Astra 2 takes a finished clip and returns an improved 1080p or 4K version. An optional prompt can describe the intended restyle; creativity, sharpness, and realism tune the result. It is available in Givon AI as a video-to-video tool.
Enhance or restyle at 1080p/4K
Choose 1080p or 4K output while improving detail and texture in a finished clip.
Removes the plastic AI look
Adds believable texture so frames look less synthetic.
Video → video, optional prompt
Upload a finished clip; add a prompt when you want to describe a restyle or enhancement.
Creativity, sharpness, and realism
Tune how strongly Astra changes the source and how much detail and natural texture it preserves.
Available in Givon AI
Choose 1080p or 4K, optionally describe the change, then tune creativity, sharpness, and realism.
Model choice
Which model to use
Explore many ideas cheaply — Seedance 2.0 Mini

A quick Kling-style preview — Kling 3.0 Turbo
Test motion and framing fast, then rerun the best take on a higher Kling tier.

Faces, expressions, speech, and native synchronized sound in one pass.
Enhance or restyle a finished clip — Topaz Astra
