Strengths	Train your own models on your style/character Great for game art + concept art Generous free tier	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Up to 20-sec clips at 1080p Strong physics + scene composition Storyboard feature for longer narratives Remix existing videos	Clone your face + voice in 2 minutes Instant translation into 40+ languages with lip sync Avatars look less uncanny than competitors
Weaknesses	General output behind Midjourney Can be overwhelming	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Stricter content policy than competitors Hit-or-miss on complex motion Text-in-video still struggles	Pricey for serious volume Long shots still feel off Ethics — easy to misuse
Kai's verdict	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.	S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.
