Background & analysis
On October 7, 2026, ShengShu Technology released Vidu Q4 Preview, the first public preview of its next-generation flagship audio and video model. According to Unite.AI, launch pricing starts at $0.014 per second, and the preview is available through Vidu's web product and its API platform, aimed at independent creators and small studios. The model accepts up to 15 image references and up to three audio references, outputs at 2K or 4K resolution with 10-bit color depth, and the company says it is meant to make facial expressions and motion look more natural.
A day later, on October 8, the evaluation account Artificial Analysis reported that Vidu Q4 Preview debuted at No. 3 on its AA-Video-I2V v1.0 leaderboard, compared with No. 19 previously for Vidu Q3 Pro. The same account noted that the preview was pushed out ahead of the full Q4 release and can generate clips of 3 to 16 seconds at up to 4K with native audio.
Also on October 8, Artificial Analysis said Vidu Q4 Preview delivers better quality at the same price as Vidu Q3 Pro. That claim comes from a third-party evaluator; the post gave no specific pricing figure and no side-by-side quality data to back it up.
Where things stand: the preview went live on Vidu's web product and API on October 7, while the full Q4 release has not yet shipped. The third-party leaderboard placement and the same-price, better-quality claim have both been made publicly, though neither is supported by detailed figures in the available reports.
