ByteDance announced Seedance 2.0, a next‑generation AI model that can create short video clips from combined text, image, audio, and video prompts. The system supports up to nine images, three video clips, and three audio clips per request and can produce 15‑second videos that respect camera movement, visual effects, and physical laws. Demonstrations include synchronized figure‑skating routines, anime‑style scenes, and celebrity‑lookalike cinematic fights. Seedance 2.0 is currently available through ByteDance’s Dreamina AI platform and the Doubao assistant, with no clear plan for TikTok integration. Leer más →

DeepSeek announced a new experimental AI model featuring Sparse Attention technology that dramatically lowers inference costs for long‑context tasks. The model, released on Hugging Face and accompanied by a research paper on GitHub, uses a lightning indexer and fine‑grained token selection to focus computational resources on the most relevant excerpts. Preliminary tests suggest API call prices can be cut by as much as 50 percent in long‑context scenarios. The open‑weight release invites third‑party validation and positions DeepSeek as a notable player in the ongoing effort to make transformer‑based AI more cost‑effective. Leer más →

Anthropic has made its new Claude 4.5 model available through the API and its web interface, keeping pricing identical to Claude Sonnet 4 at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. The model can maintain focus for 30 hours on multistep tasks and now includes built‑in code execution, file creation, and the ability to generate spreadsheets, slides, and documents directly in chat. A five‑day research preview called “Imagine with Claude” showcases real‑time software generation. Claude Code receives checkpoints, a refreshed terminal, and a native VS Code extension, while the API adds context‑editing and memory tools. Anthropic also highlights reductions in sycophancy, deception, power‑seeking, and delusional prompting. Leer más →

OpenAI introduced a safety routing system that automatically moves ChatGPT conversations to a more conservative AI model when sensitive or emotional topics are detected. Paying users have voiced strong frustration, saying the change forces them away from their preferred models without a way to opt out. OpenAI executive Nick Turley explained that the routing operates on a per‑message basis to better support users showing signs of mental or emotional distress. The company emphasizes its responsibility to protect vulnerable users, while critics compare the feature to locked parental controls. Leer más →

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch an AI‑driven search service, dubbed “World Knowledge Answers,” that will be built into an upgraded Siri experience. Sources say the company has reached a formal agreement to evaluate a Google‑developed AI model, possibly the Gemini model, to power the new feature. The service is expected to arrive next year, with a spring rollout, and could incorporate text, images, video and local points of interest while offering AI‑generated summaries. The development follows earlier efforts to improve Apple Intelligence and may coincide with the upcoming iPhone 17 unveiling. Leer más →

Elon Musk's xAI has introduced Grok 4 Fast, a new version of its Grok 4 chatbot that promises quicker responses and lower costs. The company says the model uses about 40 percent fewer thinking tokens while delivering comparable performance, and it cuts the price of achieving the same benchmark results by roughly 98 percent. Grok 4 Fast can switch between a reasoning mode for complex tasks and a non‑reasoning mode for quick answers. The model is now available to all users on web, iOS and Android, and early tests show it leading in search‑related tasks. Leer más →
