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

Where people move when a model or a plan comes to an end

Each page in this column takes one ending and reads around it: what the announcement fixes, what the entries named beside it commit to, and what the material collected in the subreddit counted. Nothing here is dated that the company did not date itself. As of 2026-10-13.

How an ending becomes a set of datesAn announcement usually fixes two dates and leaves the rest open. The app was discontinued on 26 April 2026 and the API on 24 September 2026, and the stored work is deleted once the final export window passes. Nothing in that sequence names a successor.One ending, three marks on itThe app ends26 April 2026The productpage becomes anotice.The API ends24 September2026Requests stopbeing served.Stored workgoesAfter the lastwindowNo successoris namedanywhere init.Every date here was published by the company itself
Fig. 1 The column reads around that sequence: what the entries people move to commit to, and what they leave open.

This column starts from endings. A model's date is announced, the threads ask what to use instead, and the answers are plans and model menus that were written for a different question. The readings here begin with the announcement itself — the Sora discontinuation article was the first one read — and work outward from what it does and does not fix.

Three sources sit on every page. The first is the entry's own public pages, read on the day printed against the table, in that page's wording. The second is the material collected from one subreddit: post counts, the comparisons people run, and the questions that repeat, cited to the day and never to a username. The third is SceneMixer, the pipeline this register reads to see what happens to work in flight when a tier is withdrawn — the one place here where that question has a written answer.

What the pages do not do is promise anything. A date is recorded here only when the company that makes the model or the platform serving it has published one; a menu that changed, a word that was tightened, or a rate that moved is recorded as a difference between two dated readings, never as an announcement. Where a page is silent, the silence is the row.

1The pages in this column

  • After Sora — a dated ending with no successor, the two names carried beside it, and what each of the three says about the work that already exists.
  • Nano Banana Pro — a qualifier that left a plan page, the credits each Google tier adds, and the dated rows next door in the same vendor's documentation.
  • Runway's Max plan — a plan page that converts credits into seconds, the tier that took the unlimited name, and the one vendor here that writes the risk of change down.
  • Seedance 2.5 vs MiniMax H3 — two licensed model families read through the app pages that carry them, and the two platforms whose pages say most about how each is used.
  • Wan 3.0 vs Seedance 2.5 — a family that ships weights against one sold only through other people's plans, and what each route commits to.

Entry pages were read on 2026-10-13 and the community numbers collected on 2026-10-14. What counts as a date in this register is set out on the sourcing page, and the entries themselves are on the calendar.
