Video & Animation Checked Oct 15, 2026 LongCat Video
An open 13.6B video model for text-to-video, image-to-video, and video continuation, designed for coherent longer clips.
Best for: Developers and technical creators who want a locally runnable video model rather than a hosted editor with a monthly credit plan.
What you can do with it
- Generate a short video from a text prompt locally
- Animate a still image into a coherent motion sequence
- Extend a video or build longer narrative footage with frame continuity
Good to know
- Open code and weights provide a local, inspectable workflow
- Unifies text-to-video, image-to-video, and video continuation
- Designed for longer coherent video rather than only short clips
Limitations
- Local generation needs strong GPU hardware and a technical Python setup
- Large weights and inference can be slow or memory intensive
- There is no simple hosted editor or recurring web free quota in this listing
