Description
Sand.ai is an AI company specializing in video generation technology and products. It has independently developed Magi-1, an autoregressive video model, and GAGA-1 for simultaneous audio-visual generation, and released MAGI-2 Preview, described as a large-scale open-source Mixture-of-Experts video generation model.
MAGI-2 Preview is a 114B-parameter unified audio-video generation model that activates just 6B parameters per token. Built on MagiMoE and co-designed across architecture, systems, and data, it generates dialogue, singing, and emotional shifts with natural coordination of lip-sync, facial expressions, eye movements, and body language. Because visuals and audio are generated jointly by a single model, dialogue and lip movements, actions and sound effects, and environmental changes and audio feedback stay precisely aligned. The model also understands shot scale, composition, perspective, and camera-movement intent, producing motions such as zooming, tracking, and orbiting for a filming-like visual rhythm.
Developers can access Sand.ai's capabilities through its API Platform. After logging in with a Magi account, users can purchase credits, create API keys, and authenticate calls via an Authorization header. Platform and Magi billing are kept separate, so API usage does not consume Magi account credits.
