Avataar AI has launched Varya, a video generation model built from Alibaba’s open Wan 2.2 model and distilled for faster, cheaper output. The company says Varya can generate 5-second 720p clips on an NVIDIA H200 in 45 seconds, versus 1,230 seconds for Wan 2.2. Avataar plans to release the model and training data through India’s AI Kosh portal while offering hosted access at about $0.005 per second.
ByteDance’s commercial technology team has open-sourced Bernini, a unified framework for AI video generation and editing. Its design separates semantic planning from visual rendering: an MLLM-based planner understands text, source videos, images, and video references, then a DiT-based renderer produces the final video. The released Bernini-R includes inference code and weights, while the full planner-enabled version is still being prepared.
