Calliope adds Medium video model, cutting cost 74%
CalliopeLabs introduced a Medium-tier video model that lowers VoxStyle documentary animation from $12.96 to $3.30 per minute.
we just dropped the cost of animating these VoxStyle documentaries by almost 4x Extra High model (right): $12.96/min new Medium model (left): $3.30/min 74% cheaper! quality is SO decent given the extreme cut in budget this comes after the Extra High model cost already been reduced by 50% (permanent, not a launch promo) 2 months ago this would've cost $25/min 💀 so i tested the limit: 2 preset prompts from the quoted article, one shot, zero manual fixes 1- copy-pasted both image & video prompts of this article 2- sent them to Claude 3- built a 16:9 template through the Calliope MCP 4- generated ideas + a 1 min script 5- rendered one shot, so it has obvious quirks. it put red strings all over the place. But the medium model doesn't do that! fixing it though, is literally 1 sentence in the Video Style ("no red strings"). (and you can go up to 60 mins) watch both and decide which one you'd actually ship the exact image + video prompts are in the quoted article CalliopeLabs turns them into the references, scenes, animation and final edit without having to switch between tools
