This transition has enabled the development of models such as Anicut Pro 1.6, a model that can provide high performance for both realistic and animated output. The same technology foundation supports Animon.ai and allows it to compete with much larger global players.
Its competitiveness is already visible. Animon.ai recently ranked 21st out of the top 40 image-to-video models on the Artificial Analytics Image-to-Video Leaderboard, putting it alongside industry leaders and providing a benchmark for its capabilities on the global stage.
Animon.ai: Create anime in your browser
Animon.ai is envisioned by CreateAI as a way to make anime creation accessible to everyone, including enthusiasts, influencers, and professional creators.
Users simply upload an image or text prompt, and the system generates an anime-style video clip complete with movement, facial expressions, and environmental details. What once required a team of animators, professional training, and weeks of production time can now be created on a laptop.
CreateAI describes this as “anime production in a browser.”
The product lowers traditional barriers such as cost, time and skill, inviting a new generation of fans to participate not just as viewers but also as creators.
For professionals, this platform provides rapid visualization and iteration. For enthusiasts, a world previously out of reach opens up. And it offers all creators the opportunity to produce high-quality animated content without the need for studios, pipelines, or complex software.
Mechanism of AI animation generation
Traditional animation production requires frame-by-frame craftsmanship with detailed drawings and time-consuming workflows. AI changes that process.
Animon.ai’s underlying model is trained on a large dataset of artwork, movement, and stylistic patterns. Given an image, the system interprets shape, color, and composition to predict how a character or scene will move through a series of frames.
The result is a smooth clip with gestures, camera movements, and animated backgrounds. Users do not need to draw individual frames or understand animation pipelines. AI processes visual movement and creators provide ideas.
This approach significantly reduces production time and allows more voices to participate in a medium-sized studio dominated by specialized studios.
An ecosystem that supports all creators
While Animon.ai serves indie creators and online communities, CreateAI is also investing in an ecosystem that supports large-scale works.
The company recently opened what it calls Asia’s largest and most advanced motion capture studio at the China Film Group Digital Film Production Base in Beijing.
The 2,000 square meter facility houses 130 Vicon VK26 optical cameras with a resolution of 26.2 million pixels, capable of capturing high-precision body and facial performance for film, gaming and animation.
Research advances also strengthen CreateAI’s credibility. Two papers accepted at ICCV 2025, one of the most respected conferences in the field, introduced new techniques for layer-level animation control and efficient anime style conversion. These innovations support both professional production pipelines and consumer platforms.
Studios, research pipelines, and generative models represent a wide range of tools for creators of all levels. Animon.ai offers fast and accessible anime content creation, its AI research powers next-generation creative models, and its motion capture studio delivers AAA-quality performance capture for large-scale productions.
In line with its ambitions to apply its technology to large-scale cultural properties, CreateAI also acquired the adaptation rights to two major IPs, “The Three-Body Problem” and “Heroes of Jin Yong.”
Vision for the future of anime production
CreateAI’s opportunities are not limited to technology. The company opens its doors to millions of creators around the world.
Chen said the goal is simple: “We want to empower creators to realize their ideas more freely and quickly. Our goal is to help people create expressive characters, rich stories, and new worlds without the constraints that have long held animation back.”
As AI becomes a partner in the creative process, the cultural impact could be far-reaching as creators have the flexibility to participate, share their stories, and shape the content they care about without compromising their creativity.
With Animon.ai leading this change, CreateAI is helping build a future where the power to animate belongs to everyone.
