What each generator documents about marking its output

Wan hands the decision to whoever sends the request

Wan's API reference documents a boolean watermark field defaulting to false, so a caller decides. The console guide says the same models are always stamped there and cannot be told otherwise. As of 2026-09-22.

Who is able to change the mark, on each of two doorsThrough the documented interface the marking decision is a boolean in the request, so it belongs to whoever writes the call. Through the console the stamp is applied always and the page says it cannot be switched off there, with the restriction attributed to compliance requirements.Who holds the marking decision on this rowA caller writing a requestAn integratorA boolean field with a published defaultof false.

The readingWhat it holds
The recorded valueA request parameter, not a plan
The vendor's own wordsA boolean watermark parameter, default false, with the console stamp described as not switchable.
How the reading was takenRead from an API reference for the parameter and a console guide for the restriction.

Inclusion rule. One row for the value, one for the sentence or absence behind it, one for the method. Nothing here is drawn from output, support replies or coverage by anyone else. Order. Fixed order: the value, then its evidence, then the method.

1Control belongs to a role, not to an account

On the plan-gated rows the person who can change the mark is the person who pays. Here it is the person who writes the request, which in most organisations is not the same person and often not the same department. An integrator can decide what every file carries without touching a subscription.

That is a different kind of exposure. A marking policy enforced through a plan is enforced by procurement; a marking policy enforced through a request field is enforced by whoever last edited the call. Neither is stronger in general, and the second is easier to change and harder to notice.

2Two doors into one product, disagreeing

The console guide says videos generated on its own generation page always carry the stamp and that it cannot be turned off from the console, attributing the restriction to legal compliance requirements. The reference says the field defaults to false. Same models, opposite defaults, and both statements are published.

No other entry in this register documents both sides of such a split. One vendor sells the same models through two routes and does not repeat its marking line on the second; another scopes its mark to downloads from its own surfaces and says nothing about anything else. Here the disagreement is on the record.

3What a default of false implies for anybody downstream

Nothing is applied unless a caller asks for it, which reverses the usual question. Elsewhere this column asks what it takes to remove a mark; here it asks who would add one and why. The answer is the compliance argument the console guide makes, and the API leaves that argument to the caller.

For a receiving party the practical consequence is that a file from this model carries no information about which route produced it. A clean file might have come from a caller who set the field to false or from a caller who never knew the field existed, and those are different situations with the same artefact.
