Same perfume concept. Four video models. The difference becomes... obvious once the scene starts changing. Vivix W1 keeps the subject and product feeling coherent as the studio transitions into the storm. For me, that matters more than how dramatic the storm looks. An eight-second version costs $0.024 to generate. Waiting for it takes roughly eight seconds. This comparison only shows a finished clip. W1 is built for real-time interactive video, not just one-shot generation. Vivix.AI already offers that real-time capability through the API. At $0.003/sec, that also makes experimenting with interactive video workflows a lot more accessible. Letting a viewer influence how a scene unfolds would mean paying for generation throughout the interaction. Worth watching the comparison closely.

“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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What if changing product types could happen directly on... the product page? The lamp transitions between 2 types, which also changes the context in real time.

One thing that still feels unsolved in AI video... is spatial control. A model can generate a beautiful frame, but once the camera starts moving through a more complicated scene, you need to know where the camera is and where everything else is supposed to be. That’s why GPT-6 Astra’s 3D scene and spatial mapping approach is interesting. Camera and character paths can be planned within the Viewport before the scene is rendered. From there, I manually bring it into CapCut PC and use Seedance 2.5 for the video generation. 3D might be becoming an important pre-production layer for AI filmmaking..show more

Sora 2, “ family guy dark humor” My personal... thoughts: This is clearly the best AI video model for replicating animated shows. This truly gives credence to the fact that within the decade AI generated short films/shows is looking like a real possibility. My important caveats. Model trained only on video can get visually indistinguishable for most viewers most of the time. It can match texture, lighting, motion, and camera language so well that only careful inspection gives it away. However For sustained quality at the level of a full scene or an episode, video alone hits a ceiling IMO. Pure video likelihood drives the model toward what is frequent, not toward the rare timing and payoff choices that make the best jokes land. It has weak grasp of long arc causality, character memory, and joke structure. It also does not see intent, off screen context, or prosody unless you give it those signals. So you get something that looks right but drifts on beats that matter. I don’t know what the potential solution would be other than to have an AGI just animate the show for me. Any others ?

I made a second version of the transformation video.... This time I moved the character into a real environment instead of using a plain white background. I also changed the opening and showed the final transformation result first. The overall flow feels much stronger now. Full workflow + prompts: The interesting part is that this type of video is much easier to make than it looks. You only need a base image, then generate the next keyframe through simple edits or outfit changes on the canvas. The entire transformation sequence is built from those keyframes.show more

There’s a weird paradox in AI video right now:... The more ambitious the shot, the less you want the model improvising everything. For a simple clip, “describe → generate” can be enough. But for a complex scene, it helps to define the world first. That’s the idea behind the GPT-6 Astra workflow I’ve been testing: build the 3D scene, establish spatial relationships, and define the camera and character paths in the Viewport. Then, manually bring everything into CapCut PC. Seedance 2.5 handles the video rendering, while CapCut PC takes the result through post-production. Spatial control before generation. Creative control after it. #CapCutPC #GPT6Astra #AIVideo #Seedance25show more

I tried something completely different with Kling 4.0 this... time. Instead of chasing photorealism, I wanted to see how it would handle an oil-painting aesthetic once the scene started moving. What surprised me is how well the artistic look holds together. The texture and painterly feeling stay present through the motion instead of slowly turning back into a typical AI-video look. For me, that’s just as interesting as realism. Kling 4.0 isn’t only getting better at making things look real — it’s getting better at preserving a creative direction while bringing it to life. Here’s how it turned out 👇show more

BREAKING: Hurricane Hunters just measured an almost unbelievable 889... mb pressure inside Hurricane Polo. If that reading is confirmed, Polo would become the second strongest hurricane ever recorded in the eastern Pacific, behind only Hurricane Patricia in 2015. What makes this even more remarkable is how quickly Polo got here. The storm has intensified at an extraordinary rate, being only a tropical storm 24 hours ago. An 889 mb pressure is an exceptionally rare number in the eastern Pacific, putting Polo into truly historic territory. We are watching one of the strongest Pacific hurricanes ever observed unfold in real time.show more
