Magi AI is a powerful AI video generation platform developed by Sand AI, a Chinese startup based in Beijing, founded by Dr. Cao Yue. Launched on April 21, 2025, with its flagship model MAGI-1, Magi is the first open-source autoregressive video model, available under Apache 2.0. It transforms text prompts, images, or videos into high-quality, scalable videos, excelling in text-to-video (T2V), image-to-video (I2V), and video-to-video (V2V) tasks. Accessible via magi.sand.ai, it’s celebrated for its infinite video extension, precise timeline control, and realistic motion, making it a game-changer for filmmakers, marketers, and creators.

Magi AI is accessible via magi.sand.ai, requiring a high-end GPU setup for local runs. It’s praised for its quality and creative freedom, though its 24B model is resource-intensive, and some politically sensitive content is filtered due to Chinese regulations. Ideal for professional video production and research, it’s a top-tier open-source alternative to tools like Runway or Kling AI.
