Why it matters
End-to-end video models struggle with logical rigor and symbolic fidelity. Educational videos require step-by-step reasoning, coherent narration, and precise audio-visual alignment that probabilistic pixel models often fail to produce.
Study at a glance
- Question: Can an LLM-based multi-agent system systematically generate accurate, consistent, and procedure-aware educational videos?
- Setting and data: Offline evaluation of 493 Elementary Chinese Language Arts problems and 510 Middle School Mathematics problems, plus production logs of over 20 million videos.
- Method: Multi-agent system development, expert evaluation, ablation analysis, and cost analysis
- AI tools: LASEV, DeepSeek-R1, GPT-4o, Qwen3
Key findings
- LASEV achieved a 92.0% publishable rate on Elementary Chinese and 96.0% on Middle School Mathematics, outperforming direct-prompting baselines.
- In large-scale online deployment across more than 20 million videos, the system achieved a 96.42% successful production rate with a 3.58% failure-or-filtering rate.
- The system reduced production costs by about 95% compared to traditional industry benchmarks, costing under $0.07 per 2-minute video while generating 1 million videos daily.

Although recent end-to-end video generation models demonstrate impressive performance in visually oriented content creation, they remain limited in scenarios that require strict logical rigor and precise knowledge representation, such as instructional and educational media. To address this problem, we propose LAVES, a hierarchical LLM-based multi-agent system for generating high-quality instructional videos from educational problems. The LAVES formulates educational video generation as a multi-objective task that simultaneously demands correct step-by-step reasoning, pedagogically coherent narration, semantically faithful visual demonstrations, and precise audio--visual alignment. To address the limitations of prior approaches--including low procedural fidelity, high production cost, and limited controllability--LAVES decomposes the generation workflow into specialized agents coordinated by a central Orchestrating Agent with explicit quality gates and iterative critique mechanisms. Specifically, the Orchestrating Agent supervises a Solution Agent for rigorous problem solving, an Illustration Agent that produces executable visualization codes, and a Narration Agent for learner-oriented instructional scripts. In addition, all outputs from the working agents are subject to semantic critique, rule-based constraints, and tool-based compilation checks. Rather than directly synthesizing pixels, the system constructs a structured executable video script that is deterministically compiled into synchronized visuals and narration using template-driven assembly rules, enabling fully automated end-to-end production without manual editing. In large-scale deployments, LAVES achieves a throughput exceeding one million videos per day, delivering over a 95% reduction in cost compared to current industry-standard approaches while maintaining a high acceptance rate.
