What each AI video model's release notes say changed

Claims about quality and controls you can use

Some notes describe a new control: a parameter, a mode, an input. Others describe how the output is said to look: better motion, stronger physics, more consistent faces. Both appear in this register, but they are different kinds of statement. As of 2026-09-25.

Where this note's examples come fromThe examples in this note come from 4 entries across 4 model lines.ExamplesKling AIMiniMax HailuoRunwayWanEvery layer: 1 entry
Fig. 1 Each example links to its line page.

A control can be checked by trying it; a claim cannot be checked from the note. Hailuo 2.3's note names body movement, facial expressions and physical realism as its gains. Kling's Motion Control note describes something a user can do. The register quotes both as written and does not rank them.
