Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00923	$0.00923
Opus 5.5	$0.00369	$0.00369
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00185	$0.00185
Haiku 4.5	$0.00092	$0.00092

Security

Grade A, and why

awesome-video-generation CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this list is

A curated directory of AI video-generation tools that developers can integrate today: text-to-video APIs, avatar/talking-head platforms, open-weight models, real-time video, and the surrounding infrastructure.

Scope

Include

Commercial text-to-video and image-to-video APIs with developer access.
Real-time and interactive video platforms.
Avatar/talking-head and motion-transfer APIs.
Video enhancement (upscaling, restoration) and video understanding APIs.
Open-weight video models with hosted inference, Docker, or diffusers support.
SDKs and client libraries for integrating video generation into apps.
GPU platforms, video processing tooling, storage/CDN services, and playback libraries.
Evaluation benchmarks and leaderboards.
Template/demo projects and reference implementations.

Exclude

Research papers without runnable code or an API.
Paywalled tools that gate developer access.
Duplicate entries.
Self-promotional content with no developer value.

Inclusion requirements (every entry)

Public product or docs page; URL resolves.
Activity signal within the last 12 months (commit, release, docs update).
Either a public API or an open-source install path.

Files in this repo

entries.yaml — source of truth. Only hand-edit this file.
categories.yaml — the section taxonomy. Authoritative for what slugs are valid.
header.md, footer.md — hand-written prose bracketing the generated list.

Schema

Full schema at ~/awesome-lists/_shared/schema.json. Required: name, url, description, category, last_verified. Optional: docs_url, github, sdks, license, tags, b2_integration.

b2_integration is a URL pointing to docs for the tool's B2 integration. Leave as the empty string "" when none exists yet. When a new integration ships, set this field and drop the tool from ~/awesome-lists/_internal/priorities.yaml.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
