Kuaishou
PixVerse v5.5
PixVerseMug barely rotates for most of the clip and only turns slightly near the very end -- verified via frame extraction (handle position nearly identical between the first and last frame): confirmed, the requested continuous rotation mostly doesn't happen.
MiniMax Hailuo 02
MiniMaxFAILURE MODE: mug stays largely stationary instead of rotating; handle subtly morphs and widens rather than traveling.
