ShengShu Technology Unveils Vidu S1, Bringing Real-Time Interactive Generation to AI Video

ShengShu Technology unveiled Vidu S1, a next-generation video foundation model, at the 2026 Global Digital Economy Conference on July 3, 2026. The model can create an AI avatar from a single image and control expressions, gestures, and full-body motion in real time through voice input. It targets use cases such as AI companions, virtual influencers, interactive livestreaming, and game NPCs, shifting AI characters from fixed clips toward continuous, responsive interaction.
