On October 29, 2026, Shao Meng put forward a judgment: although domestic Video Agent teams such as LibTV, TapNow, Flova, Pexo, and Medeo emphasize barriers such as ecosystem, Agent architecture, and industry know-how in financing roadshows, what they end up building may all turn out to be token relay stations. He speculated that if these websites supported BYOK, the cost for users to bring their own video generation model API Key would be lower than consuming Credits on the site, and even lower when the API Key has a discount. He suggested using REA or building one's own Video Agent from scratch paired with discounted API Keys to reduce costs, believing that for users making video content on TikTok, Ins, and Douyin, the money saved would be considerable. Currently, this judgment has no subsequent developments.
