1How the docs use it

Higgsfield and Leonardo Motion 2.0 list it as a preset; Pika uses it in an example.

A word the docs define is one the maker explains to users. A command or preset is one the model is set up to perform on request. A word that appears only in an example prompt is one the maker shows working, without promising more.

The other 21 models' docs do not use it in the pages read: Adobe Firefly, Google Veo, Grok Imagine, HunyuanVideo 1.5, Kling AI, LTX and others.
