What each week held
Withheld: something was read in 1 week of the last 12. A series needs at least 2 to say anything a single reading does not.
What it declares
- text-to-image generation
- image-to-video generation
- Draft Mode
- Omni Reference (character consistency)
- Stealth Mode (private generations)
- Relax Mode (unlimited slower generation)
- Niji anime-tuned model
- 4K-style high-resolution output
As the company’s own pages describe it. Forge did not test any of these.
What users raised
- video generation cost too high relative to quality
- video generation quality lags dedicated video tools (Kling, Veo)
- no free tier/trial limits casual experimentation
- Fast GPU minutes run out quickly on Basic plan
Themes people raised in public. A complaint is somebody’s opinion, not a measurement of the product.
