Pricing, version numbers, context-window sizes, and compliance certifications change frequently. Where stated they are accurate as of the as_of date and should be confirmed with the vendor before any procurement or compliance decision. Where they could not be stated confidently they are omitted rather than guessed.
The governance question this raises
The same synthetic-likeness and training-provenance issues that apply to image generators apply here, compounded by video's ability to portray motion and speech. Using an identifiable person's likeness in generated video without consent is the clearest exposure: several jurisdictions regulate it, and the area is moving fast. The enterprise indemnity offering is the tier to evaluate where commercial publication is the end state.
No compliance certifications are listed here. Certification status is vendor-specific and time-specific, so it is stated only where verified rather than assumed. Check the vendor’s trust centre and confirm it covers the specific tier you are buying.
API and SDKs: REST API with SDKs for integrating generation into larger workflows.
