I am writing a story about stuff that happens some where at some time...

Today is a very historical moment for AI video generation

You can now generate AI video faster than you can watch it

Before it'd take let's say 2-5 minutes to generate 15 seconds of video

@fal made a post-trained Minimax H3 variant called Max which is 50x faster than the original but still maintains quality

It generates 15 seconds of video in 9 seconds!

That means you can now do new things like build a perpetual livestream with it that never ends!

$15,000. THREE WEEKS. THAT'S THE USUAL PRICE FOR A VEHICLE WITH THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL FOR A STUDIO.

This is the average price for a project with a full suspension system, hundreds of interlocking joints, and a modeled cab, priced at what a senior artist typically charges for games and movies.

AI can already produce similar geometry in much less time. One documented example shows an empty scene becoming a full, textured, game-ready fighter jet in about 25 minutes, for less than a dollar in compute.

A person still determines how the vehicle looks, its proportions and shape, and the details that make it feel convincing. What's disappearing is the hundred-plus individual fit checks a build like this needs, one joint at a time, the slowest and least interesting part of the process.

Kimi K3 is the AI behind this, running through Blender's official MCP connector to control the software directly instead of just describing to a person where to click.

@zhongguohuajuan Damn this is good!

Bugshan Palace is a reminder that Yemen should be known to the world for its extraordinary architectural civilization, not only for the conflicts that dominate its modern image.

@TheLaurenChen I think it's gonna be a hung jury.

Waking up to the Aegean Sea as your front yard? Yes, please.

If you’re planning a trip to Greece, Thavma Boathouse in Milos needs to be at the absolute top of your bucket list. This stunning luxury stay was originally a traditional fisherman's boat garage (known locally as a syrma) right on the water in the picturesque village of Firopotamos.

Now, it’s a beautifully transformed 64-square-meter architectural dream. You get a private dock with direct sea access, indoor and outdoor showers, and panoramic views of crystal-clear turquoise waters. Stepping straight from your bed into the ocean is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you will never forget.

@CosmicGaiaX He has a rope on. Not impressed.

@crimpandclimbhq Now do it without a safety line!

Unless your Chinese is very good, you're not going to be able to fully appreciate this amazing script where one of the monsters from Journey to the West is interviewed for a podcast. It is really an incisive social commentary on office politics and the employment environment in China.

But even if you can't appreciate the clever script, you will find that the awesome AI acting, the voiceovers, the overlapping interruptions, the laughter, and just the sheer naturalness of the whole scene, is incredible.

I watched this whole thing, guffawed like a madwoman throughout, and I find it so incredibly entertaining. I can't believe it's only August 2026 and here we are with AI video content. Honestly, this is kind of a work of art

How about one image straight to an editable UE5 or Blender scene?

Lumera just dropped paper - Engine-Native Editable 3D World Reconstruction with Objects & Lighting.

You give it an image. It figures out what's in the scene, rebuilds every object as a separate mesh, then recreates the lighting as actual engine lights you can move and tweak. Even pulls an HDR environment out of the shot.

The lighting part is the big deal here. Every other image-to-3D approach bakes it in. Lumera keeps it a parameter, like the scene was built in the engine from the start.

Code and weights marked as "Soon".

NVIDIA just nuke 30 years of animation technology.

They open-sourced MotionBricks.. one neural model that generates 350,000+ character motions in real time.

→ 5,000 FPS
→ 2ms latency
→ Zero-shot to new tasks
→ Drops straight into Unreal Engine 5

No foot-locking. No blending. No collision detection. No hand-authored transitions.

100% Open Source.
