Qwen Cloud's marketplace exposes HappyHorse-1.1-T2V for text-to-video alongside HappyHorse I2V, R2V, Video-Edit and Wan video models. HappyHorse-1.1-T2V uses asynchronous DashScope video synthesis for 720P or 1080P text-to-video generation, with Qwen Cloud describing the upgrade around stronger semantic understanding, cinematic shot control, dynamic motion rendering, richer detail, visual consistency, natural character actions, scene atmosphere and physical dynamics. The broader HappyHorse family covers image animation, up to nine reference images for subject/scene consistency and natural-language video editing with up to five reference images.
Editorial verdict
Developers who want Qwen Cloud API access to Chinese video generation models.
Avoid it as the initial no-code creator path; compare Kling or Hailuo for that workflow.
Qwen Cloud now exposes video generation in its English marketplace and docs, so Qwen should not be represented only as an LLM.
HappyHorse-1.1-T2V promotional pricing: $0.084/second at 720P and $0.108/second at 1080P
Qwen Cloud billing, Pay-as-you-go API billing
Commercial use should follow the current product, API, model license and billing terms.
Review prompt, file, media upload, retention and training-use terms before sensitive workloads.
Use Wan or HappyHorse-1.1-T2V models for API-driven video generation.
Use image-to-video models when source imagery needs animation.
Use HappyHorse R2V for subject and scene consistency, or Video-Edit for instruction-driven local and global edits.
Model names, quotas, release status, regional access and commercial terms can change quickly; recheck official sources before procurement or production use.
