Q3 variant for image-to-video and start/end-frame generation at 720p or 1080p. It has its own selector and rates; text-to-video support is not established.
Start image or two keyframes: up to 50 MB per image; Base64-decoded image must be less than 10 MB. Start/end resolution ratio 0.8–1.25. Input aspect-ratio wording is ambiguous.Source for Image input limits (opens in a new tab)
Submit a native task and poll /ent/v2/tasks/{id}/creations, or provide a signed callback URL. JSON task envelopes are not evidence of LLM structured-output support.Source for Request mode (opens in a new tab)
Task callbacks
Processing, success and failure events. Terminal callback delivery is retried up to three times. HMAC-SHA256 signature uses the provider-documented canonical string, signed headers, date and nonce.Source for Task callbacks (opens in a new tab)
Default five concurrent tasks per organization, shared across API keys; excess tasks queue. Purchased plan and system load can change effective concurrency.Source for Request quotas (opens in a new tab)
Usage metering
Generated-video seconds, with prices dependent on route, resolution, account market and eligible off-peak mode. Not a text-token or per-question tariff.Source for Usage metering (opens in a new tab)
Regional credit values are separate provider prices, not a foreign-exchange conversion.
Off-peak generation
Off-peak is false by default. Provider promises completion within 48 hours or automatic cancellation with credit refund. Manual cancellation is available before disallowed task states; the cancellation API shows scheduled tasks cannot be cancelled. Off-peak scheduling is not evidence of a discounted batch API.Source for Off-peak generation (opens in a new tab)
November 2025 update describes a 10-credit expansion surcharge. Current pricing separately charges 10 credits per five output prompts. Whether that separate prompt service tariff applies to this switch is unresolved; generation rates exclude expansion.

Rate conditions
Published original Beijing rate for vidu/viduq3-pro-fast_img2video. Promotions excluded; no free quota. Only successful output seconds are billed. The card publishes one rate per resolution, with no separately itemized audio surcharge. Do not apply native Vidu credit, per-clip or off-peak formulas to this hosted rate.
Vidu is the inference provider. The Beijing API region and 24-hour output-link lifetime do not establish inference data residency, input retention, training use or deletion policy.
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.

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
Qualified closed-weight classification inference from a separately named Vidu native hosted model and operator terms reserving proprietary service rights. Public API clients and efficiency libraries do not establish downloadable weights. Exact checkpoint lineage remains unverified.
