Link & availability — last checked

How we checked: we resolved the domain and fetched the page, and recorded what came backsource

The address on this listing, vasa.microsoft.com, does not exist and appears to have been constructed from the product name rather than looked up. The product may well be real; our link never was.

WhatWhat we foundStatus
DNSvasa.microsoft.com — no recordResolved three times through our own DNS and once through Cloudflare's public resolver. One failed lookup is a network problem; four are a finding. Confirmed
How this address was probably producedIt follows the shape product-name-dot-vendor-domain, which is not where this vendor publishesEleven listings in this batch share that shape and none of them resolve. A guessed URL is worse than a stale one: nothing in the listing signalled uncertainty, and most of them also claimed the product was completely free. For orientation: Microsoft publishes VASA-1 under microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/ Changed since last check
Whether the product still existsNot established, and not claimed either wayWhat is dead is our link. We are not replacing one guessed address with another. Not yet checked by us
Listing statusReclassified to discontinued, which removes it from our free tools page and from /best Changed since last check

Checked by the TheToolsVerse Verification Deskby reading the vendor's own published pages, not by testing the product in an account. VASA-1 by Microsoft can change prices at any time without notice. The date above is the last time we looked; if it looks old, treat every figure here as unconfirmed and check VASA-1 by Microsoft directly before paying.

Pricing

Not reachable, so nothing here can be bought or used. The address we listed, vasa.microsoft.com, does not exist in DNS as of 7 September 2026. We resolved it three times through our own DNS and once through Cloudflare's public resolver, because one failed lookup is a network problem rather than a finding. This address also looks constructed rather than recorded: it follows the shape product-name-dot-vendor-domain, which is not where this vendor publishes. We did not establish where the current home is, and are not going to replace one guessed URL with another. The research itself may well still be published by the vendor — what is gone is the address we listed, which we could not confirm ever existed. Everything below this line is a record of what we had recorded, not a description of something you can go and use — and it is delisted from our free tools page for that reason.

What is VASA-1 by Microsoft?

VASA-1 produces photorealistic talking head videos from single images and audio achieving human-level expressiveness. Researchers advance multimodal generation while creators explore character animation applications. The model captures nuanced facial dynamics beyond lip sync. Single image + audio input generates videos with precise viseme alignment, emotional micro-expressions, natural blinks, and 3D head pose variation. Temporal consistency maintains identity across long sequences while style transfer enables artistic interpretations. Driving signal decomposition separates content from emotion enabling precise control. Zero-shot adaptation handles novel speakers instantly. Evaluation metrics demonstrate superiority over prior art in realism and controllability. Research-only release includes technical paper and limited demos. High compute requirements limit accessibility. Ethical considerations prevent commercial deployment. Focus remains advancing fundamental capabilities. Explore AI tools.
