Details
Pikaformance is described by Pika on its login page as an 'audio-driven performance model' that produces 'hyper-real expressions, synced to any sound' at near real-time generation speed. It accepts a portrait image and an audio file (speech, music, singing, rapping, sound effects) as input, and outputs an animated video with lip movements, micro-expressions, and eye movements matched to the audio. It is priced at 3 credits per second of audio on paid plans. The model was confirmed available on the Pika web platform as of 2025.
