Strengths	Open-weight model available Great for loops + game audio + SFX Commercial-use clarity	Excellent prompt understanding Built into ChatGPT — no extra subscription Good at composition + concepts	Up to 20-sec clips at 1080p Strong physics + scene composition Storyboard feature for longer narratives Remix existing videos	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks
Weaknesses	Not for full songs with vocals Shorter generation limits	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Stricter content policy than competitors Hit-or-miss on complex motion Text-in-video still struggles	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription
Kai's verdict	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
