Happy Horse 1.1
Happy Horse 1.1 is now live on Leonardo — smoother motion and more expressive character performances, richer built-in audio (tighter lip-sync, better Foley
Leonardo updated its video model with Happy Horse 1.1, improving motion, audio, and character consistency.
What's better
Happy Horse 1.1 brings smoother motion and more expressive character performances, plus richer built-in audio — tighter lip-sync and better Foley and ambient sound. You can also drive scenes from reference images to keep your cast consistent across shots.
Why it matters
Two of the hardest problems in AI video are keeping characters consistent and getting usable audio. Folding lip-sync and Foley into the model, and anchoring scenes to references, removes steps that normally require separate tools and manual cleanup.
Where it fits
It's the latest in Leonardo's push to make its video generation production-ready, sitting alongside its broader image and video toolset for creators.
