Flux 3 is pretty good!
One prompt. It edits everything by itself. 20 seconds. Great voiceover—and thankfully, no lip sync is needed here.
We were waiting for Sora 3, but got Flux the Third instead.

MiniMax H3
MiniMax has started rolling out Hailuo H3, the next generation of its video model. It's more than an upgrade to Hailuo 2.3, combining video generation, directing, and audio in one system. H3 supports text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-scene generation, character consistency from reference images, and prompt-based editing.
The only catch is that the official MiniMax website still lists Hailuo 2.3 as the public model, suggesting H3 is being released through partners and selected users.
H3 generates 5–15 second videos in native 2K at 24 FPS with synchronized audio. It accepts text prompts, a starting or ending frame, up to nine images, three video references, and three audio files. Multi-shot scenes and consistent characters are supported.
The motion quality looks impressive.
Official pricing hasn't been announced, but one statement claims:
"It uses the same amount of consumption as Seedance 2.0's 480p at 2K resolution."
If true, 2K generation in H3 costs about the same as 480p in Seedance 2.0.

Try New RIFTFALL Demo!
Sixty minutes. No level locks, no "first three maps then buy it." The whole game is unlocked — twenty arenas, six weapons, every boss that wants you dead. The only thing counting down is you.
Grab the Breacher. Grab the Vulcan, the Arc Rail, the Flamer. Kill a dragon. Kill a tripod the size of a cathedral. Ride a train. Get eaten by something in the dark and try again, faster.
When the clock hits zero, it stops. What you did with the hour is on you.
Hell was a cakewalk. This is the main course.

Guys! AI Video wars are on!
FLUX 3 Video is here, and this could be Seedance 2.5’s biggest rival yet. It generates up to 20-second videos in native 1080p with audio, multilingual dialogue, text-to-video, image-to-video, multiple frames, and video continuation. I made this Riftfall trailer with it, and honestly, the cinematic quality looks wild. FLUX 3 is available now through the API and open weights coming soon. Could this beat Seedance 2.5?

Wan 3.0 is here! 🚀
In short: Alibaba has officially launched the public beta of Wan 3.0. The new model can generate videos with audio up to 30 seconds long in 480p, 720p, and 1080p.
New features also include automatic duration selection, video continuation, and improved consistency of characters, objects, and scenes across longer clips.
https://article.9466.com/news/aKweEQlm
API pricing:
480p — around $0.04 per second
720p — around $0.08 per second
1080p — around $0.17 per second
That means a maximum 30-second video costs approximately $1.25 at 480p, $2.50 at 720p, and around $5 at 1080p.
But there’s a catch: when using a video reference, Alibaba charges not only for the generated output but also for the duration of the uploaded reference video.
The formula is: input video + generated video.
For example, a 10-second reference combined with a 30-second 1080p output would cost approximately $6.70.

LTX fires back with LTX-2.5 — a new open 22B video/audio world model.
Highlights: better motion quality, improved prompt understanding, native multishot with character/voice consistency, 4K HDR, RAW workflow, and precise video editing.
The big flex is speed + local inference: 16 GB VRAM minimum, ComfyUI support, open weights, and 10s I2V in 6.8s on 2× GB200.
LTX also published comparisons vs H3, Seedance, Kling, Veo and Grok — and Reddit is already roasting the methodology.
Marketing or not, this one is worth testing.

Dreamina just added Seedance 2.5 in 1080p 🚀
Using the current exchange rate, the pricing comes out to roughly:
≈ $0.95 per second
So a 30-second video costs around $28.50–$30.90.
In short: a good working estimate for Seedance 2.5 1080p right now is about $0.95/sec, or roughly $29–31 for 30 seconds.

Hyperion 2.5:
Topaz has released Hyperion 2.5 — an SDR→HDR model aimed at 8-bit AI video. Instead of simply repacking footage into 10-bit, it reconstructs additional luminance and color information and outputs 10-bit ProRes, H.265, or 16-bit EXR.
This matters because heavily compressed 8-bit GenAI footage quickly falls apart during aggressive grading, compositing, or HDR work. Hyperion processes it before grading, making it behave more like a high-bit-depth source.
Darren Aronofsky’s Primordial Soup has already used it to convert GenAI footage to 10-bit ProRes before heavy color work and reduce visible banding.
It can’t recover data that never existed — this is AI reconstruction, essentially a smart HDR remaster, not camera RAW.
There are still some 16-bit EXR color-management issues, but it’s a promising step toward making GenAI footage more suitable for high-end post. Hyperion 2.5 is available in Topaz Video, locally or via cloud rendering.

Competition is great.
It looks like OpenAI and Anthropic are competing to see who can suck up to users harder, just to keep them from jumping off their train and hopping onto the competitor’s.
OpenAI went ahead and dropped API prices for SOL 5.6 by 20% for a whole THREE months.
Anthropic was like: fine, we’re extending the increased weekly Claude Code limits through August 31.
Users: message received, keep it coming. Ox Alpha is completely free anyway, so we’ll be waiting for even more concessions.
