Strengths
- ✓One interface across generation and editing
- ✓Strong instruction-following via a planning stage
- ✓Open-source 1.3B renderer weights released
Weaknesses
- ✕Open renderer is small, so fidelity trails larger models
- ✕Very new with limited independent benchmarks
- ✕Two-stage pipeline adds complexity

Strengths
- ✓Edits video from plain text, no masks needed
- ✓Preserves the original motion and realism
- ✓Fast, low-cost edits on the fast tier
Weaknesses
- ✕Text-only control limits precision on complex scenes
- ✕Open dev model capped at a small parameter scale
