  Google's Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash ships 40-second sequences with 10-second incremental extension, first- and last-frame control, and a 360p draft preview priced at roughly a third of the 720p render. Separately pricing a cheap iteration tier from the final render is the unbundling the thesis describes, and it makes iteration cost, not peak quality, the adoption variable for commercial editing work.

  Strengthened +3

  MiniMax's Design desktop agent runs an entire video production from one brief by launching four specialised agents in parallel for copy, images, video and audio, calling out to external models like H3, GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana Pro rather than running anything locally — orchestration replacing a single monolithic generation step.

  Strengthened +2

  Black Forest Labs split resolution into a separate FLUX Upscale endpoint that regenerates video at 1.5-3x scale (up to roughly 4K from HD) and is tuned specifically to repair FLUX 3's own artifacts, another instance of a generative-video vendor unbundling its stack into separately priced, specialized steps.
