MAGI-1 AI Video Generator

Turn a still image into a short moving clip, then steer what happens next by changing the prompt for each segment.

That is the basic workflow MAGI-1 is built around.

MAGI-1 is an open-source AI video generator from sand-ai that creates video autoregressively, predicting one chunk of frames after another instead of producing the whole clip in a single pass.

Chunk-wise prompting is the feature that matters here: you can give each chunk its own instruction, which gives you finer control over how a scene develops.

The model aims for high temporal consistency, so motion stays coherent from one chunk to the next.

Image-to-video conversion is supported, and so is physics simulation, which is relevant if you want objects to move in believable ways.

Because the model is open source, you can look at how it works and run it yourself, which suits developers and researchers as much as creators who just want clips.
