When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. Pika is named in these steps:
- AI video clips, step 2 of 3, when less than $15 is left for it: the free plan; the step also names Runway, Kling AI and LTX Studio, and the best score takes it.
- AI video clips, step 3 of 3, otherwise: Starter ($10/mo, or $8/mo billed yearly); the step also names Runway, Kling AI, Higgsfield, Luma Dream Machine, LTX Studio and InVideo AI, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
