Where this model earns its cost — and where it doesn't.
This model generates video from text prompts or input images via an image_url parameter. It delivers sharper detail and smoother motion than its predecessor, with a focus on photorealistic human subjects and cinematic framing.
On Kyma, requests route through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with automatic failover to maintain reliability. Prompt caching is supported, billing repeated prompt prefixes at 10% of the input rate. Every response returns the exact compute cost in usage.cost and identifies the active model in the X-Kyma-Model header.
The model operates on a premium cost tier and runs at a slower inference speed compared to fast-tier alternatives. It does not natively generate audio; for synchronized soundtracks, you must route to the dedicated audio variant.
