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.
