 Designed around a deeper understanding of creative intent and real-world physics,
HiDream V1 supports multimodal inputs including text, images and video. It can generate
high-fidelity 1080p videos ranging from 5 to 20 seconds, with enhanced narrative
planning, character consistency, physical plausibility and audiovisual synchronization.

 In its debut on two independent international benchmarks, HiDream V1 ranked No.
4 globally on the Artificial Analysis Image to Video Leaderboard (With Audio) and
No. 8 on the Arena.ai Image-to-Video leaderboard, placing it among the world’s leading
video generation models.

 **A Strong Debut on Two International AI Benchmarks**

 Artificial Analysis independently evaluates leading AI models through standardized
and reproducible benchmark testing. Arena.ai uses anonymous head-to-head comparisons
and user voting to assess model outputs. Together, the two platforms provide third-
party perspectives on model performance based on both standardized testing and real-
world user preferences.

 HiDream V1’s results demonstrate its competitiveness across key dimensions including
visual quality, prompt adherence, motion quality, narrative coherence and audiovisual
coordination.

 The global AI video generation market has become increasingly competitive, with
models developed by Chinese teams—including Seedance and MiniMax H3—maintaining 
strong positions on international leaderboards. HiDream V1’s top-tier debut further
expands China’s presence among the world’s leading video generation models.

 “The next generation of video models will not be defined solely by higher resolution
or longer duration,” said Yao Ting, Chief Technology Officer of HiDream.ai. “What
matters is whether a model can genuinely understand a creator’s intent and how objects,
actions and sounds interact in the real world. HiDream V1 was designed from the 
outset to represent text, video and audio within a unified framework. Our goal is
to move video generation beyond simply looking sharp and moving smoothly toward 
understanding instructions, sustaining coherent performances and keeping sound aligned
with visuals. Its performance on two independent international benchmarks provides
encouraging validation of our native omnimodal approach.”

 ** Upgrades in Visual Fidelity, Narrative Coherence and Character Consistency**

HiDream V1 introduces broad improvements in high-fidelity rendering, narrative continuity
and character consistency. Rather than optimizing only for the quality of individual
frames, the model is designed to maintain coherence across an entire video sequence.

 Once characters, emotions, motivations and physical rules are placed within a continuous
sequence, each element can affect the others. HiDream therefore uses a technical
framework built around three stages: planning first, followed by joint generation,
and then alignment through multimodal reward signals.

 Under this approach, the model first plans the narrative and character states at
a global level. It then jointly constrains visuals, movement and semantics during
generation, before using multimodal reward signals to align visual quality, continuity
and physical plausibility.

 ** Native Omnimodal Architecture for Better Intent and Physics Understanding** 

The central challenge in AI video generation is shifting from the quality of individual
frames to a broader understanding of complex instructions, continuous motion and
the rules governing the physical world.

 User prompts often contain multiple layers of information, including characters,
actions, settings, camera directions, dialogue and sound. To handle these requirements
more effectively, HiDream V1 incorporates multimodal intent understanding and planning.
Before generation begins, the model structures the user’s request across elements
such as shot duration, setting, character state, movement, facial expression, composition,
camera motion, dialogue and ambient sound.

 Through this “understand, plan and generate” workflow, HiDream V1 plans narrative
development and character states at a global level, while coordinating visuals, 
motion, semantics and audio during generation. This is designed to improve content
completeness, character consistency and continuity between shots.

 Physical reasoning is another core capability of HiDream V1. The model incorporates
factors such as gravity, inertia, collisions, deformation, materials, lighting and
spatial continuity into the generation process. As a result, object movement, character
actions and environmental responses can more closely reflect the behavior of the
real world.

 This approach moves video generation beyond reproducing visual appearances and 
toward modeling how a dynamic world operates over time.

 ** Content-Adaptive Video Duration** 
 Most current video generation models require
users to specify a fixed duration in advance, forcing the content to fit within 
a predetermined time window. This can lead to unnecessary pauses after an action
has ended or the use of slow motion to fill the remaining time.

 HiDream V1 instead incorporates duration into its narrative planning process. Within
a range of 5 to 20 seconds, the model can determine an appropriate video length 
based on how an event unfolds, how long an action takes to complete and the pacing
required by the content.

 The capability is not simply a matter of adding or removing frames. It is designed
to make duration serve the narrative, producing more natural pacing and more complete
sequences. Users can focus on describing the event and intended outcome, while the
model plans the corresponding temporal structure.

 **Joint Modeling of Text, Video and Audio**

 Conventional AI video generation systems often follow a staged workflow in which
visuals are generated first and sound is added afterward. This can lead to mismatches
between lip movements, physical actions, ambient sound and sound effects.

 HiDream V1 uses a native omnimodal architecture to jointly model text, video and
audio signals. The three modalities constrain and inform one another within a single
generation process. Visual motion influences sound timing, dialogue and sound effects
contribute to the emotional tone of a scene, and text conditions guide the generation
process throughout.

 This unified approach is designed to improve synchronization across character performance,
environmental changes and physical actions.

 During post-training, HiDream uses Diffusion Reinforcement Learning and a multimodal
reward model aligned with human perception and aesthetic preferences. Generated 
content is evaluated across multiple dimensions, including visual quality, semantics,
motion, physical plausibility and sound, helping improve overall consistency and
realism.

 ** Completing HiDream’s Native Omnimodal World Model Portfolio** 
 HiDream V1 is
not a standalone model. It is a core component of HiDream’s native omnimodal world
model strategy.

 Built on a unified UiT, or Unified Transformer, foundation, the company’s portfolio
now comprises four major model families:

 *  **HiDream-O1-Image**, for image understanding and generation;
 *  **HiDream-O1-Video**, for dynamic content generation and temporal storytelling;
 *  **HiDream-O1-World**, for 3D environment simulation and real-time interaction;
   and
 *  **HiDream-O1-Embodied**, for spatial reasoning, action planning and feedback
   in embodied AI.

 Rather than operating as four separate technology stacks, the models are designed
to evolve from the same unified architecture. Together, they cover spatial understanding,
temporal modeling, 3D interaction and embodied action, creating an integrated system
for perceiving, understanding, generating, interacting with and acting upon the 
physical world.

 HiDream’s models have previously achieved leading results on several independent
benchmarks. HiDream-O1-Image 1.5, the commercial version of the company’s image 
model, ranked No. 2 globally and No. 1 among Chinese models on the Artificial Analysis
text-to-image leaderboard, while its open-source edition also reached No. 2. HiDream-
O1-World ranked No. 1 overall on WBench, a benchmark for interactive world models.
HiDream-O1-Embodied achieved first-place results in the disturbance adaptation and
spatial reasoning categories of RoboColiseum.

 “We are not building four isolated model product lines,” said Dr. Mei Tao, founder
and CEO of HiDream.ai. “We are building a native omnimodal system that shares a 
unified technical foundation and continues to evolve toward a deeper understanding
of the real world. Competition among the next generation of foundation models will
depend not only on improvements in individual capabilities, but also on whether 
different modalities can understand, generate and interact within a unified architecture.”

 From understanding and generating the world to simulating and acting within it,
the launch of HiDream V1 completes a key part of HiDream’s native omnimodal world
model portfolio.

 **HiDream Completes Series C+ Financing**
