Higgsfield has raised AI video creation length from 1 minute to over 10 minutes. Its approach combines three models: GPT-6 Astra delivers longer videos, GPT-Image-2.5 provides precise visuals, and GPT-Live paves the way for voice-made films.
California AI company Odyssey released a public research preview of its Odyssey-3 world model, letting users generate and explore interactive environments in real time from text prompts, with developers able to apply for API access.
Ben Affleck has gone viral for explaining machine learning, neural networks, tensors and other AI terms across interviews including GQ and Bloomberg Screentime 2026, and says he can write Python scripts.
Pollo AI uses GPT-5.6, GPT-6 Astra and GPT-Image-2.5 to help creators turn bold ideas into polished images and cinematic video ads.
AI ad creative platform Melius announced on Tuesday a total of $25 million in funding, including a $20 million Series A led by CRV and a $5 million seed round led by General Catalyst. Founded by three former Ramp engineers, the company pivoted to a "creative work agent lab" that generates ad assets and campaigns after abandoning its original AI marketing tool and rewriting its entire codebase, and says it topped $1 million in annualized revenue within two months of stealth exit in July.
An AWS machine learning blog tutorial shows how to deploy two endpoints on Amazon SageMaker AI using the same vLLM-Omni DLC: a real-time endpoint running FLUX.2-klein-4B for image generation and an asynchronous endpoint running Wan2.1-VACE-1.3B for image-conditioned video generation.
Runway has released the research preview of GWM Worlds 2, which uses the WorldPrompt format to control characters, cameras, and environments in simulated worlds via prompts, generating 720p, 24 fps video and 48,000 Hz audio in real time.
Google Research unveiled its AI video co-director research, building a multi-agent orchestration layer based on Gemini and Veo with four frameworks — Co-Director, CANVAS, A²RD and VQQA — that reformulates long-form video generation as a global optimization and world-state tracking problem.
invideo uses GPT-6 Astra to boost video editing: more precise edit planning, 3x faster color correction and grading, and up to 50 custom effects produced in a day.
Higgsfield AI used GPT-6 Astra to launch new video features within a day. The combination makes it easier for small businesses to produce video ads and bring new creative tools to market faster.
Google DeepMind released agentic video understanding for Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, replacing static 1 FPS processing with dynamic searching and inspection of video segments; official benchmarks show up to 66% lower cost, up to 88% fewer tokens, and up to 7% higher accuracy.
Why it matters: The official release gives concrete cost, token and accuracy figures plus how to enable it, letting developers directly assess switching their existing video processing pipelines.
On August 27, Google DeepMind released Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, bringing a suite of creative controls for generative video aimed at developers, available via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio.
Why it matters: The official release provides specific parameters for new capabilities like scene extension, keyframe interpolation and 4K upscaling, along with access channels, so developers can evaluate adopting it in generative video workflows.
Google DeepMind released Nano Banana 2 Lite (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image), the fastest and most cost-efficient image model in the family.
Why it matters: The article gives the speed, pricing, and access points for both models, and explains their positioning and API limits, helping developers assess whether to replace existing workflows.
Google DeepMind launched Gemini Omni Flash, the first model in the Gemini Omni family, which can combine image, audio, video, and text inputs to generate videos, with multi-turn editing via natural language and support for character consistency and physical plausibility.
Why it matters: The official introduction of the Omni family details the capability boundaries of conversational video editing, multi-input composition, and physical realism.
