Models & tools

AI models & tools for film, voice & music.

Working lanes for a film job: visual generation, voice over, music, multi-model platforms, and tools from the makers themselves. First-party links only. Specs move, so the checked date is the promise, not a benchmark. Process links live on Workflows. New releases, dated day by day, are on Model drops.
