Creatify Boreal model_version on AI Avatar vs Sume quality tiers
Creatify added a boreal model_version to AI Avatar v1 and v2 in September 2026. In Sume you pick plus, standard or max quality. Compare the controls and limits.
Creatify's API changelog shows a boreal model_version option on its AI Avatar v1 and v2 endpoints, plus URL to Video and Custom Template, added in September 2026. Sume exposes a simpler switch: quality with standard, plus (the default) and max. Both let you trade cost against fidelity per request; the difference is in the limits that surround them.
Creatify's limits as published
The changelog lists AI Avatar v1 with audio up to 60 seconds and text up to 800 characters, and AI Avatar v2 with 800 characters per input_text. Its Boreal-H3 endpoint is listed at 5 to 15 seconds and 10 credits per 30 second video.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Model option | boreal on AI Avatar v1 and v2 |
| AI Avatar v1 | Audio up to 60 s, text up to 800 chars |
| AI Avatar v2 | 800 chars per input_text |
| Boreal-H3 | 5-15 s, 768p/1088p/2k |
Sume's equivalent
quality on POST /v1/avatar-1.0/talking-video is the model-class switch. Per second with no product image: standard $0.184, plus $0.245, max $0.55. Estimated duration must be 4 to 60 seconds, and resolution is 720p.
See the avatar video docs. Override quality at generate-video from a preview without making a new one.
Practical difference
With a character cap per input you chunk text; with a duration window you size the script. Sume asks for exactly one of script or video_inputs, and scenes carry a duration for silence.
Check Creatify's changelog for current numbers; limits change often.
