Today's AI models are a technical marvel. With enough expertise, you can steer them almost anywhere. But by default they have to serve many masters, and easy prompts give you bland results. Magnific is not build for "anyone." We serve creatives, and the default mode on these models is not what our users want. Months ago we started a project with these goals: 1) built on top of existing models. Leverage the existing AI models as the building block. Get better when models get better. 2) make the default generation by and for creatives. Easy to get great results. 3) trivial to stay on brand. A new model from scratch will be something that will become obsolete in weeks / months. Our approach enhances them for our users, making a useful contribution that is long-lasting and differentiated. After many false starts, we landed on a pre, post-processing, and routing layer on top of a few of today's state of the art models. We tested the model first with our employees, and later with external users, on two tests: best image for a given prompt, and best image overall (blinding the prompt). The first checks prompt adherence, the last checks image aesthetics. Magnific One came out first on both tests by a wide margin. You can use it exclusively on @magnific, test it yourself and tells us what you think.

Introducing Kardashev-0.7, the worldโ€™s first trained swarm made of 32 distinct models Trained with RL for Population Scaling (RLPS), 32 models organically develop specialization & complementary capabilities, delivering frontier performance at: - 0.007x ~ 0.02x of the inference cost - 0.03x of the required memory Civilization advances through different minds specializing and working together. Weโ€™re bringing that principle into AI @BanburyRoadAI, weโ€™re scaling intelligence by model count, toward civilizations of models that learn to build on one another

See you at Neurips! Letโ€™s talk world models!
stable-worldmodel got into neurips 2026! it's basically everything we keep rebuilding for world model research (data loading, baselines, planning, evals) in one place so nobody has to do it again arxiv.org/abs/2605.21800

๐Ÿš€ Sol-Attn is here! We present a training-free sparse attention method that accelerates video generation while better preserving quality. Sol-Attn unifies dynamic routing, sparse computation, and approximate correction in a single online-softmax pass: โ€ข On-the-fly block thresholding for dynamic yet controllable budgets โ€ข Proxy-score reuse to approximate unselected blocks Results (vs dense FlashAttention-3): โ€ข Wan 2.1-14B: 2.02ร— end-to-end โ€ข HunyuanVideo-13B: 2.12ร— end-to-end โ€ข LTX 2.3: up to 2.4ร— end-to-end When integrated into Sol-Engine (with kernel fusion + caching): โ€ข Wan 2.1-14B: 3.48ร— end-to-end โ€ข HunyuanVideo-13B: 5.08ร— end-to-end Already available in Sol-Engine.

in case you missed it @lancedb and HF are partnering up to unlock the next generation of large dataset storage on the Hub ๐Ÿ”ฅ And it's fire! - Supports storing embeddings (and their indexes) directly alongside the data - Vector search / similarity search is built-in - Large multimodal datasets (text, images, video) just use the hf:// prefix: db = lancedb. connect("hf://datasets/julien-c/hub-stats-lance") ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Most video models are silent. Most audio models donโ€™t see. LTX-2 learns the joint distribution of sound and vision, generating speech, foley, ambience, motion, and timing together not as a post-hoc pipeline.

Weโ€™ll walk through how Ray enables large-scale processing across hundreds of GPUs, while LanceDBโ€™s columnar design provides efficient, intelligent curation and sampling. Together, theyโ€™re producing smaller, more diverse, and higher-quality datasets for cutting-edge text-to-image and video-to-text research.
