What each AI video model's release notes say changed

When names in the notes do not match

The same model can appear under several names. Google's changelog calls it gemini-omni-1.1-flash; Higgsfield calls it Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash. Runway's developer API added a model it names MiniMax Hailuo 3.0 five days after MiniMax announced H3, and MiniMax's own notes do not use the name Hailuo 3.0. As of 2026-09-25.
