NEW Open Source AI VIdeo, FREE Runway, & Gemini Image Model UPDATES!

Video Description

We've got big news about Tencent's open-source multimodal video model, Hunyuan Custom, and its upcoming Open Source Day! Then, I'll give you a quick refresher on what exactly are multimodal models and how they differ from typical diffusion process AI generation – they're a real game-changer. We'll then get a little technical (but I'll keep it breezy!) as I walk you through how Hunyuan Custom actually generates video, from reference images and text prompts to the magic behind VAE, LLaVA, and UniDiffuser video. This is where it gets really interesting, as I'll show you how you can use existing video and even audio to drive the AI video generation. Of course, we need to see the results! I'll show you some examples of Hunyuan Custom's output quality, from human characters and animals to complex scenes with generated backgrounds and actions. And get ready for a shootout! I'm impressed that Hunyuan isn't afraid to go head-to-head with other models like Kling, Pika, and more. We'll look at character referencing, object referencing, and multi-referencing. The code for Hunyuan Custom should be dropping around May 9th on Hugging Face and GitHub, but I'll share a link where you can try a version of it RIGHT NOW! (Quick note: I had some ISP issues, but you should be good to go!) Shifting gears, we'll look at Google! While Gemini 2.5 Pro is getting a lot of buzz (interactive visualizers, Godzilla vs. Gorillas simulations!), Gemini 2.0's image model quietly got an upgrade with better visual quality and text rendering. And it's free to use in AI Studio! Finally, rounding out the freebies, Runway now allows free-tier users to access their image generator, frames, and character reference features. There are limits, but it's a great way to test things out!
