Vidu 2 Reference

zhipuzhipu/vidu2-reference

How TheRouter serves this differently from the vendor

As the vendor operates it

Zhipu's native MaaS API exposes Vidu 2 Reference at /api/paas/v4/videos/generations using upstream model name vidu2-reference and accepts image_url as an array of reference images.

On TheRouter

TheRouter serves the same reference-video capability under public id zhipu/vidu2-reference through its routed video-generation surface with unified TheRouter auth, model catalog pricing, and supported-parameter metadata.

API guide

Async reference-video task

Submit reference images, a prompt, duration, aspect ratio, and motion controls to create a 4-second 720p video. Snippets are illustrative until human-approved verification is funded.

Reference-image controls
