$0.003 per second for video generation, without compromising on... speed or visual quality? The supplied comparisons put Vivix W1 alongside leading models on visual quality. It also delivers eight seconds of video in roughly eight seconds. But the bigger story is that W1 is a real-time interactive video model. Every extra minute of interaction means more video to generate and pay for. Making generation this affordable could make interactive stories and live visuals practical to run, not just impressive demos. Live visuals are what I’m most curious about. Generating quickly is one thing; reacting at the right moment is what would make them feel live. Vivix.AI already offers real-time generation through the API; the browser playground currently produces finished clips. A closer look at what could power those live visuals 👇show more

this changes what AI video can even be $0.003... per second of AI video. that's not a typo. for the price of ONE Seedance 2.5 video, you can generate almost 80 W1 videos of the same length. and here's the part that makes it insane: it's not slower and it's not lower quality. an 8 second video generates in about 8 seconds, at quality comparable to the top models. cheaper, fast, and good. usually you pick two. Vivix.AI just brought all three together. but the price isn't even the real story. W1 is a real-time interactive video model. video that generates as an experience unfolds, so you can interact with what happens next. real-time means it keeps generating the whole time someone's using it. longer sessions, more users, more video, more cost. that only works if every second is cheap. $0.003/sec is what finally makes interactive video practical to actually run. i want to make a scene where even i don't know how it ends. honestly, giving up that control sounds fun. (real-time is live via the API now, browser tools coming soon) save this.show more

1 video with Seedance 2.5. Or 77 with Vivix... W1. Same $1.85 budget. 20× faster generation. Comparable quality. Just $0.003 per second. The playground is live: W1 is built for interactive video. Making it an everyday medium is impossible without high quality, low latency, and low cost. W1 is the first to deliver all three. Under 1/50 the cost. 20× faster generation. Comparable quality. There are still gaps in cinematic fidelity, complex motion, and dense scenes. Full-scale training is underway.show more

I spent the morning running cost projections for live... interactive video, and the math on conventional models is completely broken for production. That is why Vivix.AI's W1 model caught my attention. At $0.003/sec, I can trigger nearly 77 equal-length W1 generations for the API cost of a single Seedance 2.5 call. When you build applications where video generates non-stop as users interact, unit economics dictate whether your project survives. This affordability is what makes W1’s identity as a real-time interactive video model practically usable. API access is active today, though browser playground tools are currently offline generation only while real-time updates roll out. Looking at their 4-way comparison with Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, and H3 Max fal featuring the slow-motion sneeze window shatter, W1 holds its visual fidelity remarkably well. You still see minor physical artifacts in high-density glass debris while full-scale model training progresses, but solving the real-time inference cost curve is the exact infrastructure breakthrough I was waiting for. The numbers that put W1 on my production shortlist 👇show more

Letting Michael keep improvising sounds expensive. At $0.003 per... generated second, Vivix W1 at least makes the video part more manageable. That's why his switch from “pick two” to “pick three” lands: a real-time interactive video model needs to afford the next unscripted moment while generating quickly and maintaining comparable visual quality. Watching Dwight spray him, I'm less confident the office has budgeted for everything else.show more

“I'm nobody's boyfriend” is quite a defense to choose... when Berta has already finished the job. The “Faster than your boyfriend” joke is better for having a specific comparison behind it: 8.4s for Vivix W1 against Seedance 2.5's 272.4s in Vivix's reference-to-video benchmark, roughly 32× faster with comparable quality. At $0.003/sec, the real-time interactive video model also makes repeated exchanges less costly. Alan could afford a few more attempts at an answer.show more

Nobody filmed this. Every frame came out of Vivix... W1. The witch brewing her potion looks straight out of a Halloween movie. The eerie lighting, swirling smoke, and glowing potion create a seriously spooky atmosphere. The visual details look incredible, making the whole scene feel surprisingly immersive. And Vivix W1 delivers all that visual quality while keeping generation fast and costs remarkably low. Fast and cheap enough to rerun until it’s right. I’m entering the Vivix Creator Contest with this one. Your turn to create something and join the contest too! Vivix.AIshow more

A render running since Tuesday makes Sheldon's triangle feel... less like a theory and more like a complaint. I'd be interested in his response to $0.003/sec with fast generation and comparable quality. That's Vivix W1's proposed correction, and for a real-time interactive video model it matters every time you ask for something else. You can't have an ongoing exchange on Sheldon's rendering schedule.show more

Everyone is competing on realism, resolution, and generation quality.... And that makes sense. But once the visuals become good enough, what becomes the next competitive edge? Maybe it’s reasoning. Can the system understand what happened in a scene, what should happen next, and keep those relationships consistent? Rhapsody 1.0 ( Induce AI ) is built around that idea, adding reasoning, story-state tracking, and verification around video generation. The next leap in AI video might not be making prettier pixels. It might be making the process more controllable. Worth watching: Mahesh KMBshow more

AI video might be having its own DeepSeek moment,... and Vidu Q4 Preview is making a strong case. But here's what caught my attention: it's not just about cheaper generations. At $0.014/sec, its lowest price per second is approximately half that of comparable models. That means testing 10 different 15-second video concepts could cost just $2.10 at the starting rate. Add support for up to 15 reference images for better character and visual consistency, and creators suddenly have more room to experiment. More ideas tested. More creative freedom. Less pressure on your budget. The real breakthrough isn't just affordability. It's making high-performance AI video accessible to more creators.

Most AI video tools are stuck in a loop,... you generate, change the prompt, and wait again. Vidu S2 is pushing things forward by making generation interactive. You can edit the video while it is being created. Change the style, swap the background, or switch outfits in real time. If you drop in a new image, the video adjusts instantly without awkward cuts. Under the hood, it combines real time 720P output with an AI agent that actively watches the video to plan what happens next. It allows you to change reference images on the fly, powered by a model optimized specifically for live streaming. This opens up massive possibilities. Imagine viewers controlling visual changes during a livestream, people transforming into game characters, or shoppers trying on different looks live. The entire S Series is available for a free trial right now so you can test it yourself. Use my code PANDAS2 with the link below to grab 300 bonus credits to explore the other features.

What is the fuss all about? Even real pilots... are acting like retard here, Crabbing is a real thing you do that to fight strong cross winds, yes it's bit exaggerated here for cinema, but it's not drifting. Even in Top Gun they dodged SAR Pechoras with flares and that's stupid. Movies or shows use their creative freedom for visuals, most of them make stuff stupid, this series is far more accurate than those. Rather watch the series and then make comment.

THIS $2 AI VISUAL SETUP JUST MADE A $250/MONTH... CREATIVE STACK LOOK STUPID he moves his hand, the particles react, and the whole scene updates in real time. no cloud render farm, no paid visual API, no expensive plugin chain quietly eating money every month most people still think ai visuals require a stack of $39 tools, $89 subscriptions, and constant API usage. but here the loop is simple: TouchDesigner handles the visuals, a local model handles the logic, and the laptop does the rest the important part is not that the particles look cool. the important part is that the “brain” behind the visual no longer has to live on someone else’s server once that moves local, the monthly bill falls off a cliff this is probably how a lot of small studios start building visuals soon: not by renting 6 tools forever, but by owning one system that runs almost for freeshow more

Most video tools can generate clips. Very few can... maintain identity. That has been the real bottleneck in AI video creation. Kling O1 changes that. For the first time, creators can carry a character, style, and visual language across scenes without constant fixes. You can reference past clips, assets, or images and the output stays consistently on-model. No visual drift. No rework loops. No “this doesn’t look like the last shot” moments. It feels less like prompting a tool and more like working with a creative collaborator that remembers context. The impact is practical, not theoretical: → Faster production cycles → Lower iteration costs → Noticeably higher output quality This is what mature AI tooling looks like. Not louder features. Not bigger claims. Just reliability where it actually matters. Consistency is no longer the problem.show more

Google dropped a new AI paper called LUMIERE. It's... remarkably flexible, supporting video inpainting, image-to-video, AND stylized video generation tasks. Say hello to “space-time diffusion” for video generation! Now what the heck does that mean exactly?! 🌐⏳ → TL;DR it utilizes a “Space-Time UNet” architecture that generates the full duration of the video in one pass, rather than generating distant keyframes and interpolating between them like prior works. Because the computation is done in this “compressed space-time representation” to generate the full clip at once, it's far more temporally consistent. → Another benefit of generating the full video at once is that you can “direct” the video generation, making it easier to hand off to other models/tasks without having to stitch together partial solutions. You can condition generations on additional inputs, meaning you get the full stack of AI video capabilities – from video inpainting to image-to-video and beyond. → New SOTA for AI video generation? User study results in the paper suggest human evaluators preferred Lumiere over Runway Gen-2, Pika Labs, and Stable Video Diffusion in terms of quality, text alignment AND motion. But as always, we need to get hands-on with this tech when Google *actually* decides to ship it. → Could this end up inside YouTube? Y’all know i’m obsessed with blending reality and imagination – so it’s the video inpainting tech I'm most excited about. I really hope this model finds its way into YouTube's Generative AI efforts, and based on their prior announcements and the list of acknowledgments in the paper I think it might! 🤞🏽 Links: 🔗Paper: 🔗Project:show more

one of the easiest ways to make your AI... videos look 10x better is by just increasing the saturation a bit > left is the original output > right is saturation + contrast increased for some reason AI video models love making everything feel cold and blue, which makes the video look obviously AI very quickly a bit of saturation fixes a lot of that then pair it with Topaz and a bitrate cleaner and the video starts looking like it was shot on a real iphone cam obviously you still need a good system behind the actual video, but this takes a good generation to a completely different levelshow more
