About video generation

Text-to-video, image-to-video, and native audio. Quality is a weighted average of the benchmarks below, each rescaled so 100 = the best tracked model. Benchmarks without a published score are estimated from related ones (shown dashed). Dot fill shows the evidence: solid = strong, tinted = medium, empty ring = weak (few benchmarks measured, lab-reported only or provisional). Methodology
