HELLO CREATORS,
There’s a new name you should know in the AI video space: Hunyuan.
They just released an open-source model called Hunyuan Custom, and if you’ve ever used Runway References, this will feel very familiar — except this time, you can build with it.
This tool gives you reference-based video generation that’s actually customizable, repeatable, and free to explore.
What Is Hunyuan Custom?
Hunyuan Custom is an open-source AI video model focused on one thing:
consistent characters and controllable video generation.
You can:
- Upload a reference image of your character, object, or style
- Generate video sequences that stay faithful to that reference
- Use text prompts to guide the motion, scene, and vibe
- Change or remix the video content while keeping structure and identity intact
It’s like Runway’s References feature — but without the black box, and with far more control for devs, researchers, and indie creators.
Why It Matters
Until now, reference-based video generation has been mostly locked behind closed platforms.
With Hunyuan Custom, creators finally have an open playground to explore:
- Consistent characters
- Branded content with identity
- Stylized storytelling
- Experimental motion studies
If you’re building pipelines, developing tools, or experimenting with narrative continuity in AI video — this is a big step forward.
