Higgs Avatar API is now available

The Boson AI TeamJune 25, 2026

The Higgs Avatar generation API is now live for creating talking-head videos.

Audio-to-video

Upload a still image and drive the avatar with an audio clip.

Text-to-video

Pass text through input_tts to synthesize speech with Higgs TTS and animate the avatar in the same request.

How it works

  1. 01Create a video job with POST /v1/videos.
  2. 02Poll GET /v1/videos/{video_id} until the job is complete.
  3. 03Download the rendered MP4 from GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content.

Release notes

This release is the avatar generation API: it is built for creating videos from image plus audio or text. Use POST /v1/videos for asynchronous jobs, or POST /v1/videos/stream when you want the streaming version and playback can begin before the full clip is ready.

Avatar chat is a separate realtime experience, and will be released later together with Higgs Realtime.
