Real-Time AI Video is Finally Here (And It’s Insane!)

Real-time video generation has arrived. Today, we are diving deep into PixVerse’s new R1 model—a narrative-controlled “world model” that lets you influence the video as it streams. From peaceful hikes to sudden avalanches and chaotic tornadoes, we push this real-time model to its absolute limits (and yes, it gets a little janky, but it is incredibly fun). We also break down the release of Black Forest Labs’ Flux 2 Klein, a smaller, faster version of their massive image model designed for consumer hardware. Plus, we look at Runway’s new “Story Panels” feature, updates to Google Veo, and a fascinating open-source project called Wonder Zoom.
