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

What happens to finished work when a model goes away

Three entries say what becomes of finished work when a model goes. One deletes data associated with the product after a final export window. One application keeps renders already made, with a record of which tier produced each. One publisher's weights can be downloaded, so the model itself stays with whoever holds the copy. From 3 source pages, read 2026-09-12 to 2026-10-13; no maker pays to be listed.

Who holds the work after the model goesWhen the vendor holds the material, it may delete it after an export window. When the vendor keeps renders through a change, each records the tier that made it. When the weights are downloaded, the user holds the model itself.The vendor holds itThe user holds itAfter a withdrawalDeleted after a window, or kept with atier recordKept, as long as the user's storageWhat to watchThe export windowRunning the weights on new toolingWhat survivesRenders, if the policy keeps themThe files and the modelThree published answers, and blanks everywhere else

Inclusion rule. Entries whose pages say what becomes of output, stored data or the model itself when a model is withdrawn or a product ends. An entry silent on all three is not given a row. Order. Alphabetical by entry.

1Deletion, retention, or a copy of the engine

The three rows describe three different relationships with the work. Under the first the vendor holds the material and will stop holding it, so the deadline that matters is the export window. Under the second the vendor keeps finished renders through a model change and records which tier made each. Under the third nothing is held for the user at all; the weights are downloaded, and the model is as permanent as the user's own storage.

2A record of the tier is what makes a match possible later

Keeping a render is one thing; knowing what made it is another. Where each render carries the tier that produced it, a production picking a season up months later can tell which shots came from an engine that is no longer offered, and plan a reshoot or a match rather than discovering the difference in the edit.

The same guide states that nothing is regenerated on the customer's behalf, so a delivered season does not change look because a tier went away.

3What to do before anything ends

Whichever row applies, the delivered files are safest on storage the production controls. The one documented shutdown measured its export window in weeks, shared with everyone else in the same position. Downloading finished episodes as they are made costs nothing and removes the deadline from the plan.

Dates come from the company that makes the model or the platform that serves it; menus come from the app, and both are linked on the calendar. Read 2026-10-13. What counts as a date is on sourcing. Nearby: How much notice, Your stored work, Notice clauses.
