Recent AI video releases include FLUX3, MiniMax H3, ByteDance Seedance 2.5, and Alibaba Wan 3.0. New Intelligence tested Seedance 2.0 Fast, Wan 3.0, and MiniMax H3 across scenarios like 3D animation, sci-fi action, AI girl group, character reference, text rendering, cinematic quality, ads, and creative scenes. Seedance 2.0 Fast proved most balanced with low retry rates and high cost-effectiveness; MiniMax H3 excels in text rendering and style; Wan 3.0 supports document input but has longer wait times. Seedance 2.5 leads in realism, instruction following, and long narratives.
