  • Consider Model 2.5 for balanced performance and existing workflows.
  • Opt for Model 2.2 for speed and early-stage concept testing.
  • Choose Model 2.2 LoRA for distinct artistic or stylized video needs.

Your choice should reflect the primary goal of your video project: realism, style, speed, or creative range.
