Questions

OmniHuman 1.5, answered

What is OmniHuman 1.5?
OmniHuman 1.5 is a talking avatar model from ByteDance. The person in a photo speaks, sings or raps your recording, with the face, hands and body moving to it. Billed by the length of the recording. It is new on Leap and in preview: it works, and it may still change. On Leap it runs in one studio beside every other top model, with one account.
Can OmniHuman 1.5 start from a photo?
Yes. OmniHuman 1.5 starts from words, a photo of a person or a sound file.
What resolution and sizes does it make?
Up to 1080p.
How much does a run cost?
It costs $0.21 a second of your recording. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
Is OmniHuman 1.5 free to try?
No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. It costs $0.21 a second of your recording. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
Can I use what I make commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Is there an API?
Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as bytedance/omnihuman-1.5, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
Do I need a ByteDance account?
No. Leap sends your request to ByteDance's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs OmniHuman 1.5 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.

Your idea, OmniHuman 1.5.

Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.

The request

The same envelope for every model; only the model and its input change. With prefer: wait=60 the answer holds the result when the run finishes within a minute; a longer one is read again by its ID. A file input takes the ID that POST /v1/files returns for your upload. Agents can call it through the MCP server at app.tryleap.ai/api/mcp.

curl https://api.tryleap.ai/v1/generations \  -H "x-api-key: $LEAP_API_KEY" \  -H "content-type: application/json" \  -H "prefer: wait=60" \  -d '{    "model": "bytedance/omnihuman-1.5",    "input": {      "character_image": "file_...",      "audio_file": "file_..."    }  }' # Video often outlasts the wait and answers "queued" or "running".# Put its "id" in GENERATION_ID and read it again until it is done:# curl https://api.tryleap.ai/v1/generations/$GENERATION_ID -H "x-api-key: $LEAP_API_KEY"
