Which AI Models Are Available on Kinovi?
Updated
Kinovi offers a single API and studio for video, image, and audio generation models from multiple providers, including ByteDance, Alibaba, OpenAI, Midjourney, Google, MiniMax, and Suno. If you want to generate media through one integration instead of stitching together separate vendor APIs, the catalog below is what you can call today. Model IDs and per-second or per-image rates are listed in the Kinovi catalog, so you can compare cost before committing.
Video models
The video lineup is the deepest part of the catalog. Featured models include:
- Seedance 2.5 (ByteDance) — the newest addition, positioned for improved motion, visual consistency, and prompt understanding. Available in 480p, 720p, and 1080p, with optional reference video input.
- Seedance 2.5 Video Edit and Seedance 2.5 Video Extend (ByteDance) — task-specific variants for editing and extending existing footage.
- Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast, and Seedance 2.0 Mini (ByteDance) — earlier-generation options at different speed and cost points.
- Wan 3.0 family (Alibaba) — Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Reference-to-Video, and Prime variants of each.
- MiniMax H3 Turbo (MiniMax) — Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video.
Image models
- Seedream 5.0 Pro (ByteDance)
- GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 (OpenAI), including the Sunburst and Flare variants
- Midjourney V8 and Midjourney Niji V7 (Midjourney)
- NanoBanana 2 (NanoBanana) and Nano Banana Pro (Google Gemini)
Audio models
- Suno Music (Suno)
- Suno MiniMax (Suno / MiniMax)
How model selection works
Kinovi uses one task flow with model-specific inputs. You pick a model by its model ID, supply the inputs that model expects (for example, a text prompt, a reference image, or a reference video), and the API returns the generated asset. The catalog lists current model IDs and rates so you can confirm the exact identifier before writing a request.
Rates are pay-as-you-go credits. Video models are priced per second of output and vary by resolution and whether a reference video is used; for example, Seedance 2.5 at 480p is listed at $0.1197/s, while 1080p with a reference video is $0.3947/s. The same balance works in the Kinovi Studio if you prefer a visual interface over direct API calls.
Choosing between models
| If you need | Consider |
|---|---|
| Newest motion and prompt fidelity | Seedance 2.5 |
| Lower cost per second | Seedance 2.0 Fast or Mini, or 480p tiers |
| Editing or extending existing video | Seedance 2.5 Video Edit / Video Extend |
| Text-to-video or image-to-video from Alibaba | Wan 3.0 or Wan 3.0 Prime |
| Photorealistic or stylized stills | Seedream 5.0 Pro, GPT Image 2.5, Midjourney V8 |
| Music or audio generation | Suno Music, Suno MiniMax |
Because rates differ by resolution and input type, check the current model rates page before finalizing a workflow — the cheapest model at one resolution is not always the cheapest at another.
