Evidence ledger · version 1.0 · observed 23 September 2026
This source-linked pilot tracks 11 announced funding rounds across 11 companies and a separate baseline of 40 product, access, capability, and pricing observations. The product observations include source dates before and after the relevant financing announcements. This is a targeted sample, not a census of the market.
The records help readers inspect company statements around these financing announcements. They do not measure revenue, retention, adoption, product-market fit, or company health. Every outcome label remains unknown unless primary evidence supports a narrower fact.
Timeline of the selected cohort. Month-only source dates are plotted at month start; coincident dated observations may overlap, and ×N labels count undated snapshots per company. The complete register is in the tables and CSV.
Each dated item is a source publication date, not an independently measured release date. “Undated” rows are snapshots of a live page observed on 23 September 2026. Company statements remain attributed to the company. No product account or generation was independently tested in this baseline.

Gen-4.5
A company-hosted Dec 2025 education packet describes Gen-4.5 as its most advanced video model with native audio and multi-shot editing.
The official developer pricing documentation establishes a separately documented API access and pricing surface; this page does not establish consumer-product account access or generation availability.
Company announced 3.0 with video agents, Express-2 avatars, Veo 3 B-roll and interactive video capabilities; distinguish announced/coming items from generally available.
Current home describes text-to-video/3D/environment browser studio and “Start creating free”; current site product breadth differs from earlier Character-3 positioning.
Dated issuer API explainer describes self-serve access and pay-as-you-go for a separate API product; this is not an independently tested account or pricing comparison.
Agent orchestrates brand research, competitor study, scripts, casting and video production with user intervention; issuer estimates $5–8 per finished ad.
Funding amounts preserve each source’s wording and currency. “Over $300 million” remains a lower-bound phrase; amounts are not combined across currencies or round types.
Product-source observations may predate or follow a financing announcement. Their sequence is descriptive, not evidence that a round caused a product change.
A public website or API page shows that the issuer describes an access path; it does not prove the service works for every account or region.
No acquisition or shutdown is recorded because this source pass did not establish one. That is not evidence that none occurred; corporate-status research was not exhaustive.
The cohort is deliberately retained at 11 companies. It is not representative of all 2025 AI video or creative-tool funding.
