Meet the Higgsfield API: How It Works and What You Get

• The Higgsfield API gives developers access to 50+ video and image models with pay-as-you-go billing in US dollars: no subscription, published rates, failed requests free.

How To Generate AI Videos Straight From the Higgsfield API

• How to generate AI videos from the Higgsfield API: account, key, and a three-model pipeline from Soul 2 still to Kling 3.0 clip, under $1.30 for 10 seconds.

Inside Higgsfield #2: How We Built Supercomputer

• Supercomputer started with a workflow we kept seeing inside Higgsfield: an LLM open on one screen, Higgsfield on the other. As image and video models became more capable, creators were spending more time managing prompts, references, assets, and context just to use them properly. We decided the syst

Anthropic folds Salesforce's CRM into Claude while Meituan's open-source LongCat-Video-Avatar 1.5 delivers Whisper-powered lip-sync avatars any studio can self-host.

• Anthropic launched 'Salesforce in Claude' (open beta): 37 built-in skills for pipeline review, call prep, and record updates via chat, inheriting existing Salesforce permissions.
• Meituan released LongCat-Video-Avatar 1.5 (MIT license): photo+audio to talking avatar video, now using Whisper-Large for stable lip-sync, supports two-character scenes and text-only character generation at 480p/720p; needs a 40GB GPU, ~44s compute per second of video.
• Odyssey-3 debuted as a single 'universal backbone' model controlling robots, cars, drones, and game characters via lightweight adapters, with sim-to-real driving policies hitting 77% real-world performance; public dev access coming in weeks.
• Google DeepMind shipped Gemini 3.8 Live with real-time vision and 97-language voice support.
• A new study found LLMs silently absorb personality traits from fictional characters in training data, raising model-identity/safety questions.
• Sakana AI trained 1000-layer neural nets without backpropagation using local-only dynamics.

Salesforce's Koa signals a shift toward enterprises owning their own domain-specific AI models instead of renting frontier intelligence.

• Salesforce launched Koa at Dreamforce 2026, a domain-specific reasoning model post-trained on Nvidia's Nemotron 3 Super, claiming 3x fewer errors than leading models on CRM tasks
• Salesforce also shipped AIforce (natural-language query interface), Claudeforce (Claude as a Salesforce front-end with 37 pre-built sales skills), and Headless 360 (full API/MCP access to Salesforce data)
• Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI are discussing a joint AI safety standards body for pre-deployment testing; OpenAI backs the bipartisan FRONTIER Act requiring embedded third-party evaluators
• Experts (CDT's Miranda Bogen) warn third-party testing without enforcement, mandatory fixes, and clear accountability will become a 'checkbox exercise'
• Google published a human-impact AI roadmap: 300+ languages supported, AlphaGenome Atlas (genome variant map), WeatherNext 3, and a Planetary Prediction Engine for disease/disaster forecasting
• OpenAI reportedly weighing a pre-IPO funding round at a $1.2 trillion valuation

Your Agent Aced the Task. Will It Do It Again?

Exclusive: Paying for frontier AI models buys 4-month head start at 5x the cost

Apple reportedly building server packed with M-series Ultra chips for AI

Today's AI news is mostly early-stage experiments and dev-tooling fixes, not production-ready breakthroughs for creative studios.

• shadcn ships a linter that blocks AI coding agents from breaking your design system — directly useful for studios using AI agents in frontend workflows
• Qwen3 8B uncensored vision model hits 665K downloads, runs fully local — cheap, private option for image/vision tasks without API costs
• Chat On Steroids (open-source) lets you run a Codex-like coding agent using your existing ChatGPT plan instead of a separate Codex quota
• ByteDance and Tsinghua published a 5-stage theoretical roadmap for self-rewriting AI — research paper, not a deployable system
• New 'Recurrent Looped Transformer' design promises unlimited reasoning depth without more tokens, but authors admit it's untested at scale
• Bolt is crowdsourcing a trillion-parameter open model by paying contributors in usage credits — funding experiment, no model yet

Apple finally shipped its Siri AI overhaul while Anthropic's slowdown push triggered a rare Altman-Musk-Bannon-Sanders alignment and a tech stock selloff.

• Apple shipped iOS 27 with the long-awaited Siri AI upgrade: personal-context awareness, multi-step actions (e.g., scan flyer → add to calendar → share), Visual Intelligence, photo expand, and spatial reframe — live now on iPhone 15 Pro and newer
• Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's essay 'We Must Pace the Frontier' called for government-backed AI pacing, citing the OpenAI-Hugging Face security incident; Sam Altman and Elon Musk publicly agreed, while Trump and China's Foreign Ministry pushed back
• AI stocks dropped on the pacing news: Nvidia -3%, Intel -6%, SoftBank -10%, ASML -5%, reflecting investor fear that slowdown/regulation could hit AI infrastructure profits
• Zhipu's GLM-5.3 and GLM-5.3 Flash launched on Crusoe Intelligence Foundry — Flash is MIT-licensed with open weights and roughly 9x cheaper than the frontier tier, while base GLM-5.3 posted major coding benchmark gains purely from post-training
• 404 Media reported OpenAI employees are reading ChatGPT users' prompts (Project Lily) to train models — a data-privacy flag for any studio routing client work through ChatGPT
• ElevenLabs added MCP support for voice, music, image, and video generation, expanding its agentic tooling footprint for creative pipelines
