Vidu is a generative video AI platform from Shengshu Technology (ShengShu / 生数科技), built on the company's U-ViT diffusion-transformer architecture. The Vidu API turns text prompts, still images, and reference subjects into short video clips with features like text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video (multi-entity / character consistency), start-and-end frame interpolation, and video upscaling. The API is a REST create-then-poll service - callers submit an asynchronous generation task, then poll the task status endpoint (or receive a callback) for the finished video URL. Access is open to individual developers and businesses on a prepaid, credit-based model with no application required.
