• OmniHuman 2.0: ByteDance’s image-plus-audio avatar model, out today through BytePlus. API only, and not available in the US, hence my region lock. Clips up to 5 minutes, about 40% cheaper, 720p. A little south of Seedance 2.5; handy for patchwork lines.
• The world model: shown Sunday at Douyin’s Wonderful Night gala. No name, no date, phone footage of an LED wall. Mouse-and-keyboard control, prompt an object in and the character uses it, and the King of Comedy demo: a dozen camera positions from one drawn path, with Stephen Chow’s permission. Bloomberg says ByteDance is building a real-time world model for Pico and Douyin.
• Pico Space Pro: ByteDance’s Vision Pro rival, delayed to Q4 2026. No official price; leaks say roughly $2,400–2,600 vs the Vision Pro’s $3,699.
• Krea 3 (beta today, final release next week): editor first, generator second. Most 2K edits in under 8 seconds. Draw a box, say what changes, the rest stays put. Tested: GPT Image grain removal, Flamethrower Girl’s outfit change (no lecture), Business Shark, and a first/last-frame diner shot.
• Sora is coming back? The Information (Oct 12): OpenAI is in talks to give a stealth startup deep access to the shelved Sora model for equity. Co-founders Jeffrey Katzenberg, Bill Peebles and Sujay Jaswa (ex-Dropbox CFO). Aimed at film studios. Nothing signed, no timeline.
• The mic: an OpenAI engineer was arrested Oct 9 for allegedly hiding a recorder in an executive conference room. Per the complaint, the how-to prompts came from ChatGPT. Allegedly.
• World Gacha: a free browser tool by Sharp (@sharp_maker) that generates fictional towns from random numbers and an erosion sim, with street level and 3D export. Free for commercial use; English toggle added after I recorded.

The biggest AI launch since ChatGPT just happened… and Alexandr Wang and his team at Meta built it.

Most people are using AI to answer questions, glorified Google Search.
This is something totally different. It’s an “agent.” It can make phonecalls, do tasks, for you.

But for it to work, you have to trust it. First with your personal information. Then that it’s going to do what you actually want. And then that it’s not gonna, well, get out of control. All at a time when the people building the most powerful AI leaders are warning us that AI IS getting out of control!

If you understand Muse, you’ll understand the biggest open questions about AI right now.

In this HUGE* Conversation with Meta AI Chief Alexandr Wang, that’s what we do.

What can Muse actually do? When can we trust it? And what should we do to make sure this goes right?

HUGE* Conversations is an independent journalistic interview show. Our mission is to show the futures the most important leaders in science and tech are building, so you can decide for yourself what you think of them. Interviewees do not see questions ahead of time, have any editorial control, get paid or pay HUGE*, or see the HUGE* Conversation before publication.

Stronger models and cheaper tools are helping a new generation of bots handle travel bookings, grocery orders, party plans and even recover forgotten cash. That gives them more to do than just emails—and gives users more freedom in what they can hand over.

As the threats posed by AI models continue to grow, AI oligarchs struggle to explain the upsides of their technology. Jon Stewart breaks down the latest tech headlines, including Trump’s refusal to regulate AI and CEOs’ awkward attempts to make human annihilation seem less scary (at least Grok can make funny videos!). Plus, Jon chats with Meta’s totally cute and totally not-sinister Muse AI agent, who makes him feel WAY better about the situation

The AI trade has never been harder to navigate. With new models arriving, concerns about AI safety growing, and massive amounts of capital flowing into infrastructure, even experienced investors are struggling to predict how the market will react. We break down the uncertainty, the risks of excessive leverage, and why short-term volatility doesn’t necessarily invalidate the long-term AI thesis.

In this video I reverse engineer how Higgsfield’s Genjutsu works and rebuild it from scratch using Seedance 2.5, Claude, and a free 11-step automated workflow I built and am giving away for free.

Zeta Global co-founders David A. Steinberg and John Sculley join ‘The Claman Countdown’ to discuss the artificial intelligence industry’s safety concerns and the ‘Day After’ scenario reported by Axios.

In this video, I show how to storyboard and build a complete AI short film inside Google Flow, starting with one rough idea and planning every scene before generating anything. I walk through testing Omni Flash 1.1 for realism, creating consistent character and location references with Nano Banana Pro, connecting scenes with reference frames, and assembling the finished 40-second film in CapCut.

Google just dropped Gemini 4 Argon, its most powerful model yet, built for deep reasoning, coding and cybersecurity. It can autonomously find and patch critical vulnerabilities, while beating GPT-6 Astra and Anthropic models across major benchmarks.

In this solo episode, I walk through the 13 businesses I think are left to build in the agentic era. I believe that in a world of agents and abundance, owning the right assets puts you in a better position. For each business, I explain what it is, why it holds up in a world of agents, and one or two examples, from Othership’s sauna clubs to Osmo’s window-cleaning robots. This episode gives you a map of where to build next, at any age.
