“Alibaba Revealed as Creator Behind Top-Ranked “HappyHorse” AI Video Model” 🚨

A mysterious AI model that recently surged to the top of benchmark leaderboards now has a name behind it — and it’s a major tech player.

According to CNBC, Chinese tech giant Alibaba has confirmed it is the creator of the powerful text-to-video model “HappyHorse-1.0,” which had previously appeared anonymously on AI benchmark rankings.

HappyHorse-1.0 quickly grabbed attention after outperforming competing models in blind human evaluations, including beating the widely recognized Seedance model from ByteDance. The model claimed the top position on the Artificial Analysis text-to-video leaderboard, signaling a major leap forward in AI-generated video quality.

AI leaderboard debuts like this often spark speculation across the tech world, as companies quietly test cutting-edge models before officially revealing their origins. In this case, Alibaba’s confirmation underscores its growing influence in the global AI race.

Meanwhile, the competition in text-to-video AI remains fierce. Even as OpenAI moves to shut down its Sora text-to-video app, the broader category continues to accelerate, with rapid improvements in realism, physics simulation, and cinematic quality.

With HappyHorse now in the spotlight, Alibaba has firmly positioned itself as a serious contender in the next wave of AI-driven content creation.
