Summary
Gen-4.5 struggles more than other models in its class and generation, producing below-average scores across the board. As a flagship model, it unfortunately doesn't quite meet expectations. It does seem somewhat good for anime. But given the price, it doesn't match the quality of other flagship models from Kling, ByteDance, or Google.
Examples
Close up of a wrinkled elderly woman's weathered hands carefully folding an origami crane. Paper creases with each deliberate fold, fingers moving with practiced precision. Soft warm lighting, intimate macro detail.
Single continuous shot in a dark planetarium exhibit. A mechanical orrery rotates smoothly: small planets circle a glowing central sun in repeating loops. The camera makes a slow arc around the orrery while the planets continue their motion.”
Action scene, cinematic and dynamic: A female lead in a dark tactical jacket sprints through a rain-soaked museum hall at night. The hall has three distinct landmarks: (1) a huge dinosaur skeleton on the left, (2) a glass display case with a glowing blue gem centered in the background, and (3) a marble staircase on the right.
Seinen dramatic japanese anime style: a lone samurai stands on a moonlit cliff overlooking a misty valley. Wind sweeps through his robes and loose hair. He unsheathes his katana—the blade gleams—cherry blossom petals swirl around him. Atmospheric tension, cinematic framing, ink wash backgrounds.
A cinematic hummingbird hovering over vivid flowers at sunrise, 8s
Slow motion hummingbird: wings frozen mid-beat, iridescent throat catching light, tongue extending into a flower.
A pianist's hands playing Chopin—arched wrists, curved fingers, striking keys with controlled force. We see both hands in frame, moving independently.
One-take chase: camera leads a woman sprinting through a crowded market, she's looking back in fear, we never see what's chasing her. Handheld urgency, motivated motion, ducking under obstacles.
Pod of orcas hunting in coordinated precision. Underwater ballet—sleek bodies, powerful flukes before they rise to the surface and leap into the air before splashing back down.
