Introducing Avatar V. We’ve solved character consistency. Forever. Record yourself once for 15 seconds. From there, you can show up anywhere, in any look, and it still feels like you. Any photo becomes a video that looks, moves, and speaks like you, down to your mannerisms and quirks. This... is the most advanced AI avatar model in the world. And we know that’s a big claim, so we brought the data to prove it. Thread below:show more

We put the top avatar models head to head in blind tests, and Avatar V was chosen more often than any other model, showing what “better” actually means to users.

Objective industry benchmarks across sync, identity, and overall quality show top performance across most evaluated metrics, not just what people prefer but what actually performs.

Even in our subjective evaluation where videos were rated individually by trained reviewers, Avatar V scored highest across identity, sync, motion, and visual quality.

amazing. also this tool will be a paradise for scammers. world's not safe anymore

Every digital twin created on HeyGen requires first-party video consent. To use this technology, users must create their own avatar themselves.

I loved it! The consistency is insane!

Congrats @annietma 💪

@carlfranzen Great promo video!

if you can change everything around the video without changing who it is, that's the real upgrade

The claim isn't "better avatars." It's that the identity holds no matter what you put around it. That's a different problem (and a harder one).

I see the bug.. choosing Avatar 5 , adding voice and image, photo to video and it used old V4 instead! Please fix to use V5.. Also does camera control available to circle camera around, zoom?

Forwarding to the team, thanks for your feedback

Just got heygen signed up - created my first video and it looks like a great tool for my business - will probably be a pro member soon. Thanks!

Is Avatar V better than 1,2 and 3? 😭🤦🏾‍♂️😬

When the Avatar V is going to be available via API, Joshua?

This is wild. The shift from “creating content” to “cloning presence” just got real.

yooooooo!

This is insane. Curious if you guys have any safeguards against how this could be misused?

This feels like the shift from content creation to identity scalability. Really impressive.

Best model ever !

@Uncanny_Harry This is great, I am trying to check I don’t if it’s just me but in Safari it’s taking too much time. Any advice

@Uncanny_Harry Try a refresh, that may solve it

If this works as shown, content creation is about to change forever 👀

Voice though…doesn’t sound like me

Did you try our voice doctor?

HeyGen released Avatar V today. I asked their Video Agent everything about pricing, features, and costs. Here's what their AI told me that the marketing page won't, + 5 Pro Tips. @HeyGen @jeffjhunter

Great efforts @joshua_xu_

This is the first time avatar tech actually feels reliable across different looks and scenes.

Think about what 15 seconds means. That is shorter than most TikTok intros. And it gives you a permanent AI version of yourself that never ages, never gets tired and never needs a ring light.

Solving consistency is a big unlock, but the real test is whether it still feels human at scale. If it preserves authenticity, not just appearance, that’s where the real value is.

This is awesome! My team has been diving into all your guys recent product updates and has been loving them.

WILD! congrats

Thank you!

Hey @joshua_xu_ what are the TOS for what the company can do with your data? Do they have any access or ability to use likenesses or data about likenesses in any way shape or form?

solving character consistency 'forever' is a bold claim that needs more than a thread to prove

wow that's cool

I’m ready to be vibe coding on the moon

Would love to see your workflow if it includes @HeyGen

do you have some system to keep people from doing this with 15 seconds of footage of someone else?

Every digital twin created on HeyGen is verified by first-party video consent.

This is perfect for @BacardiCapital so he can drink at spring lounge instead of work

@oneeyekeh Very cool
