Avatar Omni-Human 1.5 is an advanced vision-audio fusion model designed to animate avatars through cognitive and emotional simulation. By combining image and audio inputs, it brings static portraits to life — generating natural facial expressions, synchronized lip movements, and realistic emotional responses.
Inspired by the paper “Instilling an Active Mind in Avatars via Cognitive Simulation”, the model simulates attention, emotion, and cognition to create avatars that don’t just move — they react intelligently.
Audio-Driven Realism Generates precise lip-sync and emotional nuance directly from voice input.
Expressive Cognitive Simulation Models subtle eye movements, micro-expressions, and reactive behavior to emulate human presence.
Universal Avatar Adaptation Works with any static portrait or illustration to create consistent, lifelike performance.
Cross-Domain Support Handles both photorealistic and stylized avatars, adapting its realism to the visual style.
Flexible Output Encoding Choose between URL output or BASE64 encoding for seamless integration via API.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| image* | Upload a reference portrait or character image (JPG / PNG). |
| audio* | Upload or link to an audio file (WAV / MP3) for lip-sync and emotion mapping. |
| Metric | Price |
|---|---|
| Per second of generated audio | $0.25 / s |
Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/avatar-omni-human-1.5 with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Avatar Omni Human 1.5 below.

time.sleep(2)Avatar Omni Human 1.5 is a ByteDance model for talking-avatar generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. OmniHuman 1.5 converts audio and visual cues into lifelike avatar animations for virtual humans, storytelling, and interactive agents. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-avatar-omni-human-1.5.
Avatar Omni Human 1.5 starts at $0.16 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `image`, `audio`, `enable_base64_output`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-avatar-omni-human-1.5.
Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 261 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
