The backstory
Higgsfield's angle on generative video was camera language, offering named cinematic moves like dolly zooms and crash zooms as presets so a creator could direct rather than describe. That was a smart wedge while other models produced drifting handheld footage. The frontier models have since absorbed camera control as a native capability, so the differentiator narrows to preset curation and community, which is defensible for a while and not forever.
