Context
Shengshu Technology launched Vidu Q4 Preview on October 7 as the first public preview of its next flagship video model, with up to 15 reference images, 3 reference audio clips and 4K output. The launch rate is 0.014 dollars per second.
SlopTV notes a second price: 0.045 dollars per second for 540p rising to 0.39 dollars at 4K, and says the advertised 30 percent discount does not bridge the gap.
The October 7 date, 15 image references, 4K output and the 0.014 dollar launch rate match Shengshu's releases. The 0.014 rate is a launch price, and list prices are higher, up to 0.39 dollars per second at 4K per SlopTV.
'Starts at' is accurate for the lowest tier only.
'Cinema is being repriced per frame' is the author's opinion.
