- R · What Makes It Special
- Codename 'Whisper Thunder': #1 on AA Text-to-Video at launch (1247 Elo) with world consistency — characters, environments and objects coherent across cuts; Motion Brush 2.0 + Camera Director; co-optimized with NVIDIA Hopper/Blackwell. Rolled out late Nov-Dec 2025; since displaced at #1 but retains the strongest control surface.
