AI thought-to-text, Qwen 3.5, Lyria 3, realtime videos, 4D worlds, realtime TTS: AI NEWS
This episode is a link-first roundup: lots of research drops and demos, each briefly introduced and then immediately pointed at a paper, GitHub repo, or project page. It’s a good format for “pick one thing and try it” rather than watching the whole video end-to-end.
Items called out (in rough order):
- Qwen 3.5 (397B-A17B): a new big-model drop worth benchmarking against your current defaults.
- AnchorWeave: a technique/demo for image editing or structured visual control.
- Tiny Aya (Cohere Labs): a smaller model line that’s trying to keep the “useful assistant” feel.
- KittenTTS: an open repo for lightweight, hackable TTS.
- AudioX: audio generation/transform work with examples to test.
- Vec2Pix and Code2Worlds: vector/scene workflows that are creeping toward “prompt → world” pipelines.
- MonarchRT: realtime-ish inference ideas.
- Lyria 3 / Seed 2.0: model updates in the music and general media-generation space.
