New FEATURE – Ideogram Character: just one photo, and then the head flies into the Latent with IP adapters and other internal stuff. By the way, it handles head rotations pretty well too. Overall, it turns out really cool.
P.S. From now on, I'm going to dress like in the picture.

Luma Modify with Instructions in Dream Machine
Luma released something that’s kind of similar to Runway Aleph.
Also video editing and neural compositing.
But I dove into Twitter. People there are saying that Luma doesn’t hold a candle to Runway.
And Runway Aleph, by the way, was given out to paid subscribers.

Turns out the new Grok video generator is already being rolled out to paid X accounts.
It's called Grok Imagine, and it's available in the iOS app with the following limits:
• 50 for Premium
• 100 for Premium+
• 500 for Heavy users
It can turn text into images, text into video, and images into video.
Grok Imagine generates images very quickly (Aurora). You can instantly turn a generated image into a video (takes about 30 seconds), with four templates available: normal, fun, spicy, and custom (video creation via prompt). The spicymode touches slightly on NSFW themes like cleavage. Videos are 6 seconds long, with an audio track—background only, no voice.
They say it’s being updated constantly.
A full-fledged video generator for Grok is on the roadmap for September. For now, they’re warming up with vertical format content.

👐 The main thing about GPT-5:

🔜 GPT-5 is an intelligent system — depending on the complexity of the request, the model chooses the depth of reasoning. All current models (from GPT-4o mini to o3 Pro) will be replaced by the corresponding branch of GPT-5.

🔜 Available to everyone today, including free users — if the limit is exceeded, they will be transferred to GPT-5 mini.

🔜 The best model for coding on the market. The Pro version scores 100% in the AIME 2025 mathematical benchmark.

🔜 Even the basic model hallucinates significantly less than GPT-4o and o3.

🔜 The model is much less inclined to agree with the user and flatter him.

🔜 GPT-5 was classified as a high-risk model for hazards in biology and chemistry — appropriate measures have been taken. At the same time, the model is 65% safer than its predecessors, and more than 9,000 hours were spent on testing.

More details are in the model's system map.
