Best AI models for video: benchmark comparison
Generating video from text or an image. The best known closed video models have no page of their own in this catalog; they appear in the video Recommender, with the Arena score when there is one and the price from the official page.
No openly licensed benchmark table for this case. Sorted by real usage.
How to read this table
- Each row is a model. ClickTap the name to open the full page, with sources and version history. ClickTap a header to sort.
- Benchmark scores are percentages, and higher is better. I always compare the same metric, from the same source, in the latest version we checked. In this section, in the 90% to 100% range, I treat a gap of 1 or 2 points as possible measurement noise.
- The "?" next to each column explains what it measures and when it matters. "No data" means there is no measurement in the open sources this section uses. "Provisional data" marks a field derived by a rule, such as use case.
- Input and output prices are the OpenRouter list price, in US dollars per 1 million tokens, and the two can differ a lot. The "to check" badge marks an odd value in the source, which is left out of recommendations. Usage is the token share in OpenRouter's public ranking, for the latest day published by that source. Downloads are the official Hugging Face repository's 30-day window. Epoch's GPQA Diamond and OpenRouter's GPQA Diamond measure the same test, but they can differ.
Which model to use for what
This pick follows the data and changes when the data does.
Downloads (30 days) ?
What does this mean?
What it measures: Downloads of the official Hugging Face repository, in that source's 30-day window.
When it matters: It is an adoption signal for open models. A high number can come from a well-known repository or from a simple setup. I do not use this column alone to judge quality.
The main closed video, voice, image and transcription models (such as Veo, Kling, Runway, Seedance, ElevenLabs and Midjourney) have no page of their own in this catalog, but they are in the Recommender, with the Arena score when there is one and the price from each company's official page.
