COST FRONTIER
Score vs Cost ($)
Cost uses a logarithmic x-axis to keep low-cost models legible. Generation cost is normalized to 24 FPS and 1280-wide output where those inputs are reported; otherwise the reported cost is retained. Separate LLM/prompt costs are added after generation-cost normalization. Odyssey API prompt rewriting is estimated at $0.01 per submitted video; each BoN×8 run shares one rewritten prompt, and selection compute is excluded.
