Animals leaderboard

Every model runs the same 40 prompts. A vision model scores each clip blind against the original prompt in a single pass, across visual fidelity, physics and motion, subject consistency, prompt adherence and audio sync. Scores are out of 5, and the 95% CI column shows how much a score could plausibly move on a re-run with this few samples. Full methodology.

Clip shown: every model here on the same prompt, “animal-horse-gallop”, so the preview is a fair comparison, not a cherry-picked best clip.

Attempts is the average number of generations needed before one was usable, the number that actually decides what a model costs you. 95% CI is computed from that model's own runs on this board, not assumed. On a category board with only 4 runs per model, a wide CI is the honest reflection of a small sample, not a bug. Two models whose CIs overlap are not meaningfully different at this sample size.
