I’ve found that when you use these through their official sites, they are VERY filtered. They’ll shut you down very quickly for the lightest things. But… when using them through sites like Digen, or other third party websites, the filter is significantly less strict. You can get Sora to do some pretty wild stuff that it refuses to do even if you pay for Pro, and Veo will refuse to do a lot but will be perfectly fine generating stuff on third party sites. The issue is these sites are not sustainable. All of them eventually end up significantly lessening the amount of generations you can do a day, even if you pay for their “unlimited” or “max” tiers. I was using Digen for a while, with the Sora 2 Unlimited plan, and it was great. I could make around 50 generations a day. Pretty unfiltered, I got it to do some really violent scenes. But then, because of cost and the site not really being sustainable, they decrease it to around 30. And then later 25. And then 20. And then 10. I messaged them about it, and they temporarily increased it back to 20 for a few days, but this didn’t last. Now it’s at around 5. Yep, just 5 videos if you do them at 15 seconds long. Even while paying for their Unlimited tier. I messaged them about it and they pretty much just said they can’t really afford to have so many people doing a lot of generations with Sora a day, it’s too expensive and they have stability and server issues, so they’ve had to substantially lower it. They don’t know if they’ll ever be able to increase it again but it was implied that they probably can’t. And this is pretty much the same for every other third party site. While you can use the models with significantly less filtering, it’s not sustainable, because they’re paying for multiple different things, including access to these models, and can’t afford it because they aren’t a multi billion dollar company with infinite resources, investors and money flow. So… will there ever be a better way to do this? One that won’t break the bank and require you to be filthy rich? Or is it just the reality that heavily filtered (and continuously updated filters to make them even stronger) models is all we’ll get from these companies? I know that there’s the possibility of local models in the future that “could be as good as Sora 2” maybe 10 years from now, but the issue with those is that they won’t have the ten thousand terabytes of data and training, and won’t be anywhere near as good. submitted by /u/Dogbold
