Is text-to-video ready for production use?

For social media, ads and storyboarding — yes. For broadcast film work — not quite; expect inconsistencies in object permanence and human anatomy on close-ups. Always plan for re-generation passes.

What is the “intelligence index”?

A 0–100 composite of public benchmarks (MMLU, MMLU Pro, GPQA, MATH, HumanEval). Higher is better.

How often is this updated?

Monthly. Each model has a lastUpdated stamp. Open an issue if you spot something stale.
