Higgsfield has showcased a very serious relighting tool.
From some of the demos it was clear that it works extremely well with portraits, but then I also found this one where entire scenes are being relit!
It looks genuinely impressive. The available tools include selecting light direction, lighting setups, temperature, intensity, color, and shadow control.
Of course, you won’t be able to relight a whole scene for a film in a fully professional, exactly-the-way-you-want manner, but for low-budget production and advertising it’s more than good enough.

Qwen-Image-Edit-2511-Multiple-Angles-LoRA
An interesting tool for camera angles, equipped with a full ControlNet.
On the downside, the image quality isn’t great — the idea is cool, but the execution falls short.

Higgsfield “What’s Next?”
Higgsfield seem to be aiming to completely remove the traditional scripting component from content creation. That is, there will still be a “script,” but it will be written—or rather assembled—from AI-generated fragments. And not in text form, but directly as video snippets.
Higgs’s new feature, “What Happens Next,” lets you upload a SINGLE image, after which the AI suggests EIGHT video (!) variations of how the events could unfold. You choose the one you like, watch it to the end, and then once again pick one of eight possible continuations.

GLM-Image
We’ve got a new open-source image generator, and technically it’s quite interesting. Earlier, Zhipu released the open-source LLM GLM, which crushed benchmarks and impressed many (you can try it at https://chat.z.ai/). Rumors of an image model followed — and now it’s here.
It’s already available on FAL: https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/glm-image https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/glm-image/image-to-image
The key idea is separating “thinking” from rendering. A 9B-parameter autoregressive model interprets complex, knowledge-heavy prompts, then passes them to a 7B-parameter diffusion decoder for rendering. With a custom Glyph Encoder, it aims to render text accurately inside images. Editing and style transfer are included out of the box. They claim quality on par with top diffusion models and better performance on complex tasks.
In practice, results so far look modest. Editing features need more testing and don’t seem very strong yet.

Hunyuan3D has been updated to version 3.1.
You need to take a look at the mesh, but it looks really polished.
Probably the most advanced 3D generator available today.

Wan 2.6 Image to Video Flash
So far, it works only from the first frame.
Video length: up to 15 seconds.
You can upload your own audio / audio generation is also available.
There is a shot_type option — single shot or multiple shots within one video.
Very fast.

Runway 4.5 Image to Video
A few days ago, Runway released an update. The main focus is on the Image-to-Video model. On their Twitter and website they show the best examples, but I took real generations and even found a comparison with Kling and Seedance.
I can’t say it’s some kind of revolution. The quality is not better than Kling. Length: 5–10 seconds. 720p.

And a bit of rankings from Video LMArena.
Veo wipes the floor with everyone, especially in Text-to-Video.
In Image-to-Video, wan2.5 takes 3rd place, Seedance is 6th, and Kling 2.6 is 7th.
You can see that the amount of data is still pretty limited. Runway 4 is hanging out somewhere near the bottom, and for some reason mochi-1 from a year ago has snuck into the rankings.
But Veo’s hegemony will be very hard to beat.
LTX doesn’t show up in the charts at all.

Suno Sounds
Suno quietly, announced the beta of its SFX and Loops — creating sound effects that go beyond music. The model is still rough, which is why it’s in beta and available only to Pro and Premier users.
How to find it: on Desktop, when choosing between the Simple and Custom Create modes, there should be a dropdown under Custom that lets you select Sounds (Beta).
It’s interesting that they’re stepping into territory usually occupied by completely different startups with features like these.

Lucy 2.0 — fire, real-time, and censorship (none).
The idea itself isn’t exactly new — we’ve already seen it in various Live Portraits, Infinitoks, and of course Kling’s Motion Control. You upload an image of a character, take a video where you (or a more talented actor/character) mug for the camera, and boom — your image starts mugging in the same way. In 3D this is called retargeting.
But!
Here all of this happens in REAL TIME. That is: you take an image, a webcam, and off you go streaming at 24–30 FPS with minimal latency (they claim near-zero latency, but in reality, factoring in the internet, I’d guess 1–2 seconds).
Check out the videos — and remember, this is real time.

As I understand it, there won’t be any breathing room. Kling has been on a roll since the end of last year and clearly has no plans to slow down. We’re all running here like hamsters in an AI wheel. Not even a wheel, really, but a sphere with constantly changing radius, color, and axis of rotation. And there’s no end to the run in sight.
Back in the day, versions were updated once a year. Everything was simple and clear.
Now we live in a tangled domain of “someone, somewhere, sometimes is better at something — but not always, and it’s not exact.”
And on top of that, absolutely all closed generators hide the seed from the user. Just to add even more chaos and make the tokens fly away even faster.
We’ve quietly found ourselves in a world of hallucinations, all waiting for the next version of something to be the best ever — and for everything to finally become simple and clear.
