A model aggregation layer refers to a model that does not develop a single AI model in-house but instead integrates multiple third-party models via APIs, with the platform handling unified orchestration and billing; its advantage is fast launch and flexible iteration, and its disadvantage is being constrained by upstream vendors' pricing and stability.
Companies such as Tavus, HeyGen and Synthesia focus on the digital human video direction; Runway, Pika, Sora and others focus on general-purpose text-to-video.
The video generation track is highly competitive, with participants including startups such as Runway and Pika as well as major companies such as Google and Meta.
Replit discontinued its free Starter plan on September 11, making the $20 Core plan the new entry point; Pika's free plan now includes zero credits per month.
