Overview
Vidu Q3 is a next-generation video generation model **first released by Shengshu Technology on 2026-01-30**, and **officially launched on the Huawei Cloud MaaS platform on 2026-06-22**, offering two versions: **Ultra-fast Turbo** and **Professional Pro**. Shengshu Technology, originating from Tsinghua University, is a leading domestic video AI company, known alongside Kling AI, Hailuo AI, and Seedance as one of the "Four Pillars" of domestic video generation.
Core capabilities: **Native support for 16-second synchronized audio-video output** + **Automatic multi-shot transitions**—more integrated than Sora 2's early version of pure video with post-production audio syncing; **Pro version outputs 4K high-definition video**. Supports **text-to-video / image-to-video / coherent generation with start and end frames / automatic multi-language subtitle rendering**—this combination gives Vidu Q3 a unique advantage in scenarios like **short dramas / comic dramas / batch social media content creation**.
The launch on Huawei Cloud signifies a complete chain of **domestic computing power + domestic model + domestic cloud**—a key advantage for compliance-sensitive state-owned enterprise clients and businesses facing US regulatory restrictions for overseas expansion. **Starting July 10, the native audio version of Vidu Q3 is also available on the official website** (corresponding to the "Native Audio Support" on vidu.com), further enhancing its integrated audio-video generation capability.
