Alibaba's AI video model rises to No. 2 in global rankings, as OpenAI's Sora and ByteDance's Seedance fall away
EDITOR BRIEF
Alibaba Cloud released HappyHorse 1.1, an upgraded AI video generation model available through Model Studio with full API access and launch discounts. The rollout comes as OpenAI has discontinued Sora and ByteDance has paused Seedance 2.0’s international expansion after copyright complaints, narrowing enterprise options for AI video tools.
INSIGHTS
Alibaba is positioning HappyHorse as an enterprise-ready alternative at a moment when rivals face cost and legal pressure. Its success will depend less on benchmark performance alone and more on whether global customers trust Alibaba’s infrastructure amid rising U.S.-China technology tensions.
