daVinci-MagiHuman

DaVinci-MagiHuman does it in one model. No separate video generation, no separate voice synthesis, no stitching. One 15-billion-parameter transformer takes text and a reference image and jointly produces video and audio.

The numbers are real: 5-second 1080p video in 38 seconds on a single H100. Supports Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, and French. Beats Ovi 1.1 (80% win rate) and LTX 2.3 (60.9% win rate) in human evaluation. The full model stack is released: base model, distilled model, super-resolution model, and inference code.

From Shanghai's GAIR Lab and Sand.ai.

The catch: you need serious hardware. An H100 for the fast inference numbers, and the 15B parameter model isn't running on a consumer GPU. No license file listed; check before commercial use. And 'joint audio-video generation' is still early. The 5-second clip limit means this is for avatars and short-form content, not video production.
