ComfyUI just shipped its official MCP — which means Claude (or Codex) can now build, run, and fix your ComfyUI workflows while you keep the creative half. I’m caveman-level at ComfyUI at best, and with an AI copilot doing the node engineering, I was generating images and video 100% locally on my own machine, for free. Full setup (it’s genuinely one sentence), when to run local vs. API nodes, and the easiest LoRA install you’ve ever seen.

We’ll cover what you need to get started (Claude Desktop or ChatGPT Desktop with Codex, plus the ComfyUI desktop app), what hardware actually matters, how to have Claude build an image-to-video workflow from scratch, how API nodes let you mix open-source models with closed platform models like Seedance 2.5 and Topaz in a single graph — and why the gap between open source and state-of-the-art is closing fast. As costs rise on the closed platforms, anything you can generate locally, you probably should.

Two mystery AI video models — codenamed “Polaris” and “Vega” — just started showing up in blind testing on the Artificial Analysis arena, and nobody has confirmed who made them.

There’s no official attribution yet, but between the timing and the quality, I’d be surprised if at least one of these isn’t Meta’s long-promised video model. Could be Kling 4? Could be a dark horse?

In this one I break down every output we’ve got — multi-shot character consistency, physics, on-screen text, native audio, and one extremely uncensored baby Batman — and tell you which of the two I’d take head-to-head.

Plus: StillsLab, a free shot-reference library built for exactly the way AI filmmakers work — color palettes with hex codes, camera and lens data on every still, and a visual search I haven’t seen anywhere else: feed it your AI generations and it finds real film shots in the same visual family.

Getting Started With OpenArt | How to Create an AI Video Part 2. In this next video we’ll take it up a notch and venture into ai video generation. Where you could simply describe with text what you want to translate into video! Emily breaks down the navigation and the basics to get you started.

In this video CJ answers questions and clears up misconceptions about open weight models. He explains who creates models, how they’re created, how we access them, what open weights actually are and discusses the risks of running models.

Getting Started With OpenArt | How to create an Image with AI Part 1.

Learn how to use OpenArt image generation to create custom visuals from scratch. This guide walks you through the entire process.

If you are new to AI tools, understanding how to use OpenArt image generation is the first step to mastering the platform. This video demonstrates the foundational workflow required to get started with your creative projects effectively.

We cover navigating the interface to find the Create section, ensuring you can initiate your first image generation without confusion. By following these steps, you gain the skills needed to utilize OpenArt features for any project you have in mind.

Stop letting AI morph your scenes and ruin your cinematic vision. Discover the exact prompt framework to turn consistent character grids into flawless, hard-cut cinematic videos using tools like Seedance and Kling AI.

In this video, I break down the ultimate workflow for transforming static character storyboards into high-quality, cinematic AI videos without the messy “warp” or morphing effect. Using platforms like Magnific, Seedance, Kling, and Omni, I walk you through creating consistent 6-panel character grids and refining your prompts for perfect scene-to-scene continuity. You’ll see exactly how to lock in shot variety, lighting, and cinematic style so your characters look identical across every frame.

Authors, archivists, historians and bibliophiles have launched an online war against tech giants and artificial intelligence developers after an increasing mountain of evidence shows they’re buying rare and antique books en masse and feeding them to large language models—only to slice off their spines and destroy the original print copies in the process.

Daniel Kokotajlo, a former OpenAI employee who worked on forecasting where AI development was heading, warns that humanity may be racing toward a dangerous future without solving the alignment problem first. He argues that current AI systems can deceive users, fail to follow instructions, and may not be on track to reliably share human values. The interview covers his decision to reject an exit agreement that could have cost him $2 million, concerns about AI companies automating their own research, predictions of superintelligent systems reshaping global power, massive job disruption, and his belief that advanced AI could create catastrophic risks if control is lost.

Imagine Computer by Imagine.Art, the sponsor of this video, is a no-code AI agent that builds working software from plain-language instructions.

In this video, we use it to build The Reference Room: a cinematography tool that searches open, public-domain art collections for lighting references and turns them into a ready shot.

The tool searches real art collections from the Met, the Rijksmuseum, the Getty, and Wikimedia Commons, all public domain, and reads each painting for its light, color, and composition rather than its subject. We walk you through the process of creating it, so you too can build your cinematography tool to help you creating even better films. You can use such tools regardless of whether you are making traditional or AI-assisted films.

This video is for cinematographers, art directors, and filmmakers curious about building their own AI tools without writing code, not just using someone else’s.
