7Using the models, not reading about them
Release notes such as “Vidu” matter once a pipeline runs the models; SceneMixer's guides describe how it does:
Wan 3.0 is Alibaba Cloud's video generation model on the Model Studio platform, called through an asynchronous submit-then-poll API, in two tiers: the standard wan3.0-video and the faster wan3.0-video-prime.

The default for text stays the cheaper tier; Recommended is the badge on the tier the site suggests for hard episodes.
