Vidu S2 advances generative video capabilities by introducing real-time interactive avatars and dynamic editing tools that support high-resolution output and spatial generation. These developments represent a significant step forward in machine learning applications for content creation, moving beyond static generation to responsive, editable streams. The model's ability to handle dynamic references and complex instructions like dancing demonstrates improved instruction-following within the video generation domain.
Vidu S2: Real-Time Interactive, Editable, and Spatial Video Generation
arXiv:2609.11638v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present Vidu S2, which comprises Vidu S2-Avatar, a real-time interactive digital-character model, and Vidu S2-Editing, a real-time video editing model. Moreover, we explore the feasibility of real-time spatial video generation for both Vidu S2-Avatar and Vidu S2-Editing. Compared with Vidu S1, Vidu S2-Avatar supports real-time 720p video generation, generation with dynamic references that can be updated at any moment, and stronger instruction following, such as dancing. Vidu S2-Editing supports editing a video stream in real time, including style rendering, clothing replacement, character replacement, and background replacement. Experiments show that Vidu S2 outperforms all baselines. A playable online demo is available at https://vidu.com/vidu-stream.
