Overview

Vidu S1 API is a streaming video generation service that enables developers to build real-time interactive digital humans. Unlike traditional text-to-video models that render clips offline, it generates live video during bidirectional voice and video conversations, allowing users to see, hear, and speak with an AI character that perceives their expressions and emotions.

Full Description ▼

The API handles session management via HTTP, real-time audio/video transport through AliRTC, and control signaling over WebSocket. It supports continuous sessions from one minute to over two hours without quality loss, making it suitable for AI companions, live-commerce hosts, and interactive entertainment.

With over 50 preset voices and support for 28 languages, developers can customize persona, avatar image, and short-term memory. The service targets enterprise and startup teams aiming to ship production-grade digital humans quickly.
