📖 TL;DR
🚀 Releases & Improvements: Weekly updates, editor enhancements, fast mode, and aesthetic updates.
🎨 Q4 Mode & Tuning: Higher-quality renders, community feedback for aesthetic balance.
🖼️ Reference Systems: Omniref and S-Ref improvements for better referencing.
⚡ Draft Mode & UI: Ultra-fast generation, real-time interfaces, maintaining aesthetics.
🎥 Video Features: Video model training, balancing cost and quality, community input.
🔧 Infrastructure Upgrades: New servers for V8 model, experimental V7.1/7.2 runs.
📱 User Experience: Explore page updates, mobile improvements, secret hardware projects.
I'm comparing 9 different video models so you don't have to!
I was curious how each model would handle multi action prompts. FYI, I2V and I did three gens of each and picked the best. I'll leave the quality judgement up to you.
Prompt: The snow leopard jumps on top of the rock
