Announced end dates for video models, and which apps still carry them

One line means nothing to fall back to

Every priced plan here names the same house model, which makes this the simplest entry in the register. It also means there is no previous generation listed to stay on: when the line moves, the whole customer base moves with it on the same day. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-12; no maker pays to be listed.

Inclusion rule. Read from the priced plan pages. A model named in product marketing but absent from every plan does not fill a cell. Order. The absence first, then what the single line implies.

1Controlling the schedule is not the same as having a fallback

A house model means this company decides when its model changes, which removes the problem every aggregating entry here carries. It does not remove the change itself, and it leaves nothing on the shelf when the change comes.

So the risk is narrower and deeper. One schedule to watch instead of six, and no second row to finish a season on when that one schedule moves.

2Plans split by resolution, not by model

Because the model is constant across plans, the tier a customer buys says nothing about which engine produced their work. That is the opposite of the arrangement recorded for entries whose tiers name different models.

It also means a reader cannot use the plan table to detect a swap. The same name appears everywhere, so the only evidence of a version change would be the version string if one is published, and none is.

3What this entry is useful for

As a comparison point. Most arguments about aggregation in this register assume more models is more exposure, and this entry is the control case: one maker, one line, and a single unannounced future.

Read against invideo AI, where six makers decide succession, the two entries mark the ends of the same axis. Neither publishes a date.

The two ends of the aggregation axisOne house model means one schedule and no fallback when it moves. Six aggregated makers mean six schedules and five remaining lines when one goes. Neither arrangement publishes a date or a successor.What each arrangement carriesOnly one line1 scheduleown model, own timing, no fallbackBoth listsSharedno date, no successor namedOnly six makers6 schedulesother makers, five lines remain, noauthorityThe middle column is what both ends have in common

4Production that outlasts a model

Model end dates touch “Pika”; SceneMixer's guides describe how its pipeline treats the models it runs:

The default for text stays the cheaper tier; Recommended is the badge on the tier the site suggests for hard episodes.

Each scene gets an automatic AI 3D model, and every shot in the scene is generated against it.
