As of March 6, 2025, Hedra Studio has officially unveiled Character-3,
a groundbreaking advancement in AI-driven video creation. Developed by
Hedra—a company founded by former researchers and engineers from NVIDIA,
Google, and Meta—this new model is set to redefine how creators,
marketers, and businesses produce video content.
Character-3 is being hailed as the world’s first omnimodal AI model in production. Unlike its predecessors, Character-1 and Character-2, this new model can jointly reason across image, text, and audio inputs to generate highly expressive, natural, and intelligent video content.
Key features include:
Text-to-Video and Audio-to-Video Workflows: Create videos from simple prompts or audio inputs.
Customizable AI Characters: Design unique characters with dynamic personalities and expressions.
Dynamic Backgrounds: Easily integrate immersive settings without traditional filming.
The result? Hollywood-quality videos without the need for expensive equipment or large production crews, drastically cutting both time and costs.
Since its initial preview of Character-1 in June 2024, Hedra Studio has seen explosive growth, with over 350,000 users generating more than 1.6 million videos. Character-3’s enhanced capabilities are expected to accelerate this trend, offering creators unprecedented control and efficiency.
On social media platform X, users are already raving about its potential to revolutionize storytelling. One post called it “a creative powerhouse,” while others highlighted its ability to democratize high-quality video production for both professionals and amateurs.
Hedra’s mission is clear: to empower creators and enterprises by building a next-generation storytelling platform. Backed by $10 million in seed funding from investors like Index Ventures, A16Z Speedrun, and Abstract, the company is positioning itself as a leader in the competitive AI video generation space, alongside players like RunwayML, Luma AI, and OpenAI’s Sora.
While specific technical details about Character-3’s architecture remain under wraps, its omnimodal capabilities suggest a significant leap forward in multimodal AI integration. Hedra is also working on expanding its full-stack creation studio, with plans to introduce advanced features like timeline editing, storytelling tools, and enhanced character customization.
