Input modalities
Text, Image, AudioSource for Input modalities (opens in a new tab)

The v3 schema requires a prompt, start_image, driving audio, resolution and aspect ratio. Short UI examples may omit required fields.

Output modalities
VideoSource for Output modalities (opens in a new tab)

Audio drives animation; this is not a standalone speech synthesis model.

Output resolutions
540p, 720p, 1080pSource for Output resolutions (opens in a new tab)
Aspect ratios
1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 9:21, 21:9Source for Aspect ratios (opens in a new tab)
Video duration
Up to 600 seconds per API jobSource for Video duration (opens in a new tab)

Optional duration_ms trims audio or pads with silence. Without it, supplied audio determines duration. Studio limits are separately selected in the app.

Audio duration limits
Each driving track: 0.5–600 secondsSource for Audio duration limits (opens in a new tab)
Maximum audio file
104,857,600 bytes per audio fileSource for Maximum audio file (opens in a new tab)
Reference image limits
One required start image; up to 10,485,760 bytesSource for Reference image limits (opens in a new tab)
Reference audio
1–4 audio tracks; one track per speaker, in list orderSource for Reference audio (opens in a new tab)
Speaker attribution
Normalized [x,y] points locate speakers in the source image; one point per audio track is required for multi-speaker generationSource for Speaker attribution (opens in a new tab)
API compatibility
v3 asynchronous job API with polling, signed completion webhooks, idempotency keys and SSE job-status eventsSource for API compatibility (opens in a new tab)

SSE status events do not establish streaming video inference or a real-time avatar model.

Billing and deployment scope
API rates are per output second and resolution. Studio credit prices are selected in the app.Source for Billing and deployment scope (opens in a new tab)

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

API model ID
hedra-character-3
Access
POST https://api.hedra.com/v3/models/hedra-character-3 with Authorization: Key. Returns an asynchronous job; poll its result or use signed completion webhooks.

Data & enterprise terms

Service terms govern input/output use; retention, model-training opt-out and endpoint-specific data residency require separate verification. Do not infer them from output ownership.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Hedra explicitly identifies Avatar and Character 3 as its own models, distinct from hosted partner models. Reviewed access is through its proprietary service, with service rights retained under the terms. No public weights for these named releases are supplied by the reviewed sources; planned open-core work on Omnia is not transferred to them.
