  Take Seedream 5 Lite unless the deliverable has an unusual shape. Then it has to be Nano Banana 2.

  GPT Image 2 when the prompt is a set of instructions; Nano Banana 2 when the shape is unusual or the volume is high.

• Veo 3.1 vs Seedance 2.5

  Veo 3.1 when someone speaks. Seedance 2.5 when the shot is long, or has a cast to keep consistent.
