HappyHorse 1.1

Alibaba's HappyHorse 1.1 API family for text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video generation with native audio. This page keeps canonical 1.1 capabilities separate from provider-session claims about video editing, which remain unverified because Alibaba's current edit guide still names HappyHorse 1.0.
