Why it was saved

  • @levelsio, 18 January 2026: Levelsio's cheapest character-swap pipeline: 10 credits per Mocap video, ~100 videos for $49/mo; he runs the models at a loss as a loss leader. UI: upload a person photo, choose voice (e.g. "Emily"), Nano Banana Pro toggle, "Make Mocap video", renders in ~5.6s.
