Current product / HolyCrab.ai

Give the video model layer a real front door.

OpenRouter made model access composable. HolyCrab.ai brings that same product instinct to video: a focused surface for models, generation workflows, evaluation, reliability, and the path from API call to finished clip.

Positioning / video product layer

OpenRouter's instinct, built for video.

The goal is not another single-model demo. It is a practical interface for a fast-moving video layer, where access, generation, evaluation, and reliability can move together.

  • Text to video
  • Reference inputs

Working thesis

The useful part happens between the layers.

An operator's view of how model capabilities become dependable products, how API buyers evaluate quality and cost, and how developer momentum becomes durable market access.

01

Model → workflow

Capabilities become valuable when they are shaped into dependable systems people can use repeatedly.

02

API → product

Quality, cost, reliability, and distribution are one product conversation, not separate lanes.

03

Community → market

Builder momentum creates the feedback loop that helps a technical category cross borders.

Grounding

M.Sc. in Computing Science from Simon Fraser University; B.E. in Economic Information Management from Renmin University of China.
