    What 2026 moved

    Firsts, measured against every video model released before them. “New name on the roster” is the provider label in the catalog, not the company — one lab can hold several labels.

    Dates are each model’s released_at value, walked in order and grouped until a window held 3 or more. Credits are what one complete generation costs per the model’s own price matrix; where it states none, the headline rate is shown and the model sits out the cheapest-in-window line.
