Cai Haoyu's AI Company Quietly Released Its First Video Foundation Model

Cai Haoyu’s AI company quietly dropped their first video model. The guy left miHoYo to start his own thing, and everyone was guessing which direction he’d take. Now we’ve got a signal—he’s betting on video generation.

Given his background in content creation, I’m more curious whether this model will lean heavily into aesthetics and anime-style vibes, rather than being a pure general-purpose tool.

First releases are usually pretty restrained, so let’s check out the sample clips they put out—see what vibe they’ve got and if there’s anything that sets it apart from the others.

The big shots are making their move, I’ll keep an eye on this.

I’m curious if it’s gonna have that heavy anime vibe.

First one’s going straight for video — pretty clear direction.

Waiting for sample images.

Someone with actual taste making tools — the little details really show.

Keeping it low-key actually makes people want to see the real stuff even more.

curious if it’ll come out anime-flavored lol, judging by his background it’s actually possible
