When to reach for it
The fast variant of the 2.0 family, capped at 720p and carrying the same nine reference images, three reference videos and fifteen-second ceiling as the base model. What it buys is time to first frame, which matters when you are iterating on motion and each attempt is a decision point.
It is not the cheap variant. That is Mini. A five-second take here is more expensive than the same take on base 2.0 at the same resolution, which is the trade: you are paying for the wait, not saving on the render. If cost rather than turnaround is what governs, base 2.0 at 480p is the better tool.
Reach for it in the middle of a session where you are chaining takes through final frames and the round-trip is the thing slowing you down. Reach for base 2.0 when you need 1080p or 4K, and for 2.5 when a scene has more subjects than nine references can hold.
