Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] Claims lens character was amplified by hand and judged by working camera operators; says it is 'obviously' not real optics. · locator: design-decisions passages · source: https://higgsfield.ai/blog/how-we-built-cinema-studio
- [sourced_fact] States Cinema Studio's control layer is separated from interchangeable underlying video models but does not name them. · locator: architecture passage · source: https://higgsfield.ai/blog/how-we-built-cinema-studio
- [sourced_fact] Admits version 3.0 was a turbulent release and some decisions were later regretted. · locator: version history passage · source: https://higgsfield.ai/blog/how-we-built-cinema-studio
- [inference] Inspection note: No benchmarks, failure rates or model names; FAQ-only 4.0 specs not supported in the body. · locator: whole page; fetched 2026-10-17 · source: https://higgsfield.ai/blog/how-we-built-cinema-studio
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
