Meshy just made AI 3D models editable like a photo.

Circle the part you want changed, type "remove the hat", and only that part changes. The rest of the model stays as it was.

About a minute per edit, 20 credits each. Works on Meshy 6 and 7.1 high-poly models.

Beats regenerating the whole thing because one hat was wrong.

Anthropic quietly took its own AI safety bill to Capitol Hill, per Politico.

Under its draft, the government could block a model only on an imminent risk of $1B+ in damage or 50+ people killed or seriously hurt. And only from bioweapons, a model escaping its controls, or a cyberattack.

Independent evaluators registered with Commerce. 72-hour incident reporting. Only a judge can order a halt.

Should the lab being regulated get to draft the rules?

Kling 4.0 is out, and it's open to everyone.

30-second clips in one pass, no stitching. You can feed it 10 keyframes and 15 reference inputs. Motion is steadier and complex camera moves hold up.

10-bit HDR and 4K are coming next, plus Adobe Firefly.

What would you make with 30 seconds?

Open-source AI now has its own week.

Open Source AI Week kicked off Oct 16 across the Bay Area: 10 days, 60+ community-run events, 200+ orgs, 8,000+ people expected.

Hugging Face hosted the kickoff party. Hackathons, debates and awards run through Oct 25.

Anyone going?

For years, software engineers told every other profession the same thing about automation: just adapt.

Now AI is writing the code, and developer Aravind Putrevu's viral post is asking whether devs get to say this one is different.

Fair point or double standard?

Ben Affleck's new Netflix thriller Animals has an AI-generated stunt shot, and the internet found it on day one.

A kidnapped kid gets launched into Affleck's arms. Under a second of footage. People are calling it a cost-cutting shortcut over paying VFX artists.

Same week, Nicolas Cage refused to sign an AI waiver for Spider-Noir.

Would you have noticed it in a theater?

China just proposed adding AI models, AI agents and computing clusters to its export-control list.

They're part of 40 technologies across AI, biotech and solar. Public comments are open until Nov 15.

The US spent years limiting the chips going into China. Now China wants a say over the models coming out.

What happens to open-weight releases if this passes?

Ollie Muhl's whole TikTok bit is simple. Tape the phone to a subway window, then sprint after the train.

A week later the AI copies showed up. AI Messi. AI Neymar. A dog. Peter Griffin. Same chase, same bit.

His take: "AI is taking my content and I'm going to be unemployed soon."

He's joking. How long does a format stay yours now?

FF Nova is out, and it costs $2,490.

That's Faraday Future's humanoid robot: 20 degrees of freedom, an open SDK, and you can train it on your own reinforcement learning policies through NVIDIA Isaac.

Phase one is capped at 100 units. The first 20 ship now.

There's also a $299 Nova Mini built for kids.

Would you buy one at that price?

[Sahil Verma @sahilvermaai]

Microsoft just launched Copilot for Legal, and it lives inside Word.

20+ legal skills: redline a contract as native tracked changes, draft from your own SharePoint precedents, track obligations, build case chronologies.

Early users made about 100K edits with it and kept 7 in 10.

It's out worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers, which makes Microsoft the 4th AI giant to ship a legal product in 5 months.

Would your legal team sign off on its redlines?

[Sahil Verma @sahilvermaai]

fal just launched fal Worlds, and the video never ends.

It's a browser demo where you steer an AI-generated world while it streams. Direct the scene and it responds live, no render wait.

Under the hood: LingBot World and H3 Max Director running on fal's WebRTC-based World Model Accelerator. The dev API is still experimental.

What would you make with a world you can direct live?

Anthropic is giving six METR researchers employee-level access to the company.

Company laptops, office space, internal tools. They assess the models, the safety practices and the risk management from the inside.

METR publishes its own findings. Anthropic can't veto them, only ask for narrow redactions like customer data and model architecture.

OpenAI made the same pledge. Would you trust an audit more if the lab can't edit it?

[Sahil Verma @sahilvermaai]

TwelveLabs just launched Jockey, an agent that searches your whole video library in plain English.

It runs on their Marengo 3.5 and Pegasus 1.6 models, ranks the clips that match, then assembles a rough cut.

Works inside the Claude and ChatGPT apps, or through the API.

How many hours of footage are you sitting on?

[Sahil Verma @sahilvermaai]

MacPaw just launched Eney, an AI assistant for Mac and iPhone that does the prep work before you ask.

It watches your apps, files and calendar, lines up the next step, then asks before it sends, moves or deletes anything.

14 days free with 10,000 AI credits. Plans from $14.99/mo.

Would you let it read your calendar?

Google just previewed a chip for AI that never switches off.

Coral NPU M2, built with Synaptics, uses 40% less energy and is made for wearables that listen and watch all day, processed on the device.

Synaptics shows the full specs Oct 20.

Would you wear always-on AI, or is that still a no?

[Sahil Verma @sahilvermaai]

The FTC just sent civil subpoenas to OpenAI and Anthropic.

Each demand runs past 50 pages: safety incidents, safeguards, marketing claims, user privacy. Executives can be compelled to testify.

This industry spent years asking to regulate itself.

How many of those 50 pages come back blacked out?

Eight US states just sued OpenAI over ChatGPT's alleged harm to minors.

Iowa, Kansas, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska and West Virginia filed on Oct 14.

One of the asks: a court order barring OpenAI from building self-improving models unless it can prove they're aligned.

So who decides what "proven aligned" means? A judge?

[Sahil Verma @sahilvermaai]

Arcmira founder Zeal Caiden made a 3-minute techno-optimist hype edit in under 2 hours.

The tools: Claude Opus 5.5 plus the Arcmira MCP.

Marc Andreessen and Garry Tan both reposted it.

How long would this take you to cut by hand?

[Sahil Verma @sahilvermaai]

Pollo AI just shipped Recast.

You hand it a video you like plus a few images of your own character, product or world. It rebuilds the clip around them and keeps the original motion, pacing and camera work.

No reference handy? Start one-click from a showcase example.

Live now at https://t.co/FxNgH1hty2

What clip would you recast first?

Anthropic did $16.8B in revenue last quarter.

Q1: $4.7B
Q2: $11.6B
Q3: $16.8B

That's up 45% in one quarter, and it says it was profitable on an adjusted basis.

At Wednesday's investor day in San Francisco it told buyers to expect a $110B annual run rate by year-end. The IPO is aiming above $2T.

Would you buy in at that price?
