Ed Lawrence explores Claude Design, a new tool that generates professional-grade animations directly from video scripts. This guide demonstrates how to establish a consistent brand style and utilize the platform to streamline content creation while managing costs and operational workflows effectively.

Claude just got a brand new model — Opus 4.7. Better benchmarks, smarter vision, and a completely new way of thinking. But before we get to the features, there’s drama. Users felt Claude got worse in the weeks before this launch. GitHub issues. Viral tweets. A leaked OpenAI memo. And one quiet admission from Anthropic that raises real questions. Did they sandbag the old model to make the new one look better? We break down every new feature AND the full controversy.

AI video generators are multiplying fast — and so are the subscriptions.

In this video I put Open Art and Hicksfield head to head across every
feature that matters so you know exactly which one to pay for.

Both platforms bundle multiple AI models under one subscription (no more paying separately for Sora, Kling, Flux and the rest). But they’re built for completely different workflows — and picking the wrong one means wasting money on tools you’ll never use.

I compare them across image generation, video generation, character
consistency and pricing — and give you a clear recommendation based
on what you’re actually trying to create.

OpenArt explores the synergy between the Recraft and LTX 2.3 models for high-fidelity creative projects. Discover methods for transforming static imagery into realistic video, including techniques for face swapping, aspect ratio adjustment, and integrating complex voice acting or morphing effects into professional AI-driven workflows.

Google just released Gemma 4: A model built on the same research as Gemini 3 and gave it away completely free. Clean Apache 2.0 license.

No usage limits. You can build a product with it and compete directly against Google. That is not charity. There is a much bigger game being played.

Great visuals deserve great audio — and until now, AI filmmakers have been stuck scoring silent scenes with royalty-free tracks and bolting on sound effects after the fact. Ace Studio changes that. It’s an AI-native digital audio workstation built for filmmakers, with a Video Composer agent that watches your footage and builds a soundtrack around it, one-shot AI sound effect generation, stem splitting, vocal synths, and a full DAW underneath when you want to get hands-on.

In this tour, I run every major feature through real generations from the channel — the FBI diner scene, Renfield the Pirate, Flamethrower Girl, a silent Seedance cockpit sequence, and Malloy the detective — to show you exactly what this thing can do for AI video work.

Hollywood is teetering on the edge of collapse, but people are watching more stories than ever. If you want to make traditional films, the gateway is narrowing, but for everthing else, the future is bright.

Discover how Seedance 2 enables you to create incredible videos with ease, even without being an expert. This ai video generator makes it simple to produce stunning scenes, from bullet-time freezes to animated characters. We’ll show you the full ai workflow and provide 50 prompts so you can start creating your own ai generated videos today with these free ai tools.

In the latest episode of Inside Tech, the Google DeepMind CEO, Demis Hassabis, talks to our AI writer, Alex Hern, about the spiritual roots of his AI mission, why he pushes back on comparisons to “building God”, and the competitive pressures that make international cooperation harder than ever.
