Podcasts about Kling

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Robert Nicastro welcomes back theologian, minister, and director of Process and Faith, Dr. Sheri Kling, for a rich conversation on the power of theology to renew spiritual life in a fragmented world.Sheri shares the story behind Renewing Faith, a newly released collection of essays emerging from a 2025 conference that brought together voices exploring how process and open and relational theology can breathe new life into Christian practice. Together, she and Robert unpack how these movements offer a vision of God not as a distant, all-controlling force, but as a deeply relational presence—persuasive, not coercive, and intimately involved in the unfolding of creation.Throughout the episode, Sheri explains key theological ideas in everyday terms, weaving in science, mysticism, and lived experience. She reflects on her own journey from Jungian psychology to process thought, and how this path gave her a more integrated, healing view of God, suffering, and spiritual wholeness.Later, Sheri offers a profound reimagining of divine power—sharing a story from Proverbs of Ashes that illustrates how a theology of persuasive love can make space for grief, agency, and hope.ABOUT SHERI KLING“We are a fragmented people in a fragmented world—but when we begin to think with a more integrative, relational vision of reality, faith can come alive again. We discover that we matter, we belong, and we can participate in the sacred work of a whole-making cosmos.”Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D., is a writer, theologian, songwriter, and spiritual teacher who serves as director of Process & Faith with the Center for Process Studies, interim minister of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bradenton, Florida, and teaches regularly for the Haden Institute and Claremont School of Theology, from which she earned her doctorate. She is the author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation and editor of Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies. She speaks, teaches, and leads retreats on spirituality, theology, and transformation, and her work can be found online at sherikling.com and her Substack, The Sacred Everywhere.Ilia Delio's upcoming webinar, The Christian Mutation: Why God Cannot Be Static, asks whether Christianity has traded the revolutionary God of Jesus for a safe abstraction. She explores instead a God who becomes with us: relational, vulnerable, and love in movement. Join us Thursday, December 4, 5:00–6:30 p.m. ET.

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried has been thrust back into headlines this week with a flurry of attention on social media and in the mainstream press. The biggest story grabbed the crypto world on September 24th, when SBF—currently serving his sentence for fraud related to the FTX collapse—made his first appearance on X, formerly Twitter, since March. However, the post was in fact made by a friend on his behalf, a clarification which did nothing to slow the market's reaction. The FTT token, long battered by scandal, soared more than 55 percent overnight at the mere whiff of SBF's digital presence, before cooling back to around ninety-nine cents. Crypto insiders from Travis Kling of Ikigai Asset Management to countless anonymous traders debated what—if anything—it might signal, with Kling even publicly expressing forgiveness and urging others to let go of grudges. The collective social sentiment seems to confirm that even from behind bars, SBF remains a potent influencer of market psychology, as noted by CryptoRank and other analytics specialists.The surge in attention coincided with, or perhaps was amplified by, ongoing media interest in both SBF and the wider FTX saga. Mother Jones is running an in-depth serialized investigation based on exclusive interviews with Sam himself from prison, offering fresh insights into his perspective on FTX's precipitous rise and catastrophic collapse. Meanwhile, Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting has released a new podcast episode tracing the contours of crypto's wild ride—including SBF's criminal conviction in 2023—and analyzing what his downfall means for the future of financial regulation. For those of the literary persuasion, book clubs are also updating recommended readings to include new analysis with fresh afterwords covering Bankman-Fried's trial and its aftermath.On the public appearance circuit, SBF is absent but not forgotten. His father, Stanford Law Professor Joe Bankman, is set to be a featured guest at the October 11 White Collar Conference, hosted virtually and sponsored by Paul Weiss. The event's promo makes clear that Sam's legal travail and the impact on his family will be directly addressed during a live interview segment—further keeping the family, and by association Sam himself, in the public eye.No verified reports have emerged in the past week of new criminal charges, business activity, or direct personal statements from SBF. Speculation around parole eligibility after reports of a potential four-year sentence reduction in May remains just that—unconfirmed. For now, Sam Bankman-Fried's rare communication, shifting token prices, and enduring cultural curiosity prove that certain stories, and protagonists, don't fade quietly, even when locked away.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The Kling family has a 500 year history of standing for the truth, starting with with the Reformation of the Church. Following in his ancestor's footsteps, Peter Kling began his education in the Scriptures before the age of five and his education in the sciences by the age of 10. Peter first started "seeing" future events at the age of 9, had Alien contact at the age of 18, has survived attempts on his life 16 times, including an NDE (Near Death Experience), in which he "crossed over" and got sent back. Becoming a scientist, Mr. Kling used his education and life experience to unlock the Secrets in the Scriptures, which the Church has kept hidden for over a thousand years! Genesis starts off with Interdimensional Extraterrestrials and proof of genetic engineering of the Human Genome. As our sciences developed, more and more secrets of the Scriptures have been revealed. With the advancements in science over the last 50 years, Mr. Kling states; "We find life everywhere, it would only be logical that life exists across all dimensions in our Multiverse, beyond our physical three dimensions. Indeed we are not alone, but part of a large Cosmic Family and we are facing a paradigm change, which will create the next step in Human Development".Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

I joked on stream that I should just count how many times “Alibaba” appears in our show notes. It's a lot.Qwen3-VL Announcement (Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Thinking): (X, HF, Blog, Demo)Qwen 3 launched earlier as a text-only family; the vision-enabled variant just arrived, and it's not timid. The “thinking” version is effectively a reasoner with eyes, built on a 235B-parameter backbone with around 22B active (their mixture-of-experts trick). What jumped out is the breadth of evaluation coverage: MMU, video understanding (Video-MME, LVBench), 2D/3D grounding, doc VQA, chart/table reasoning—pages of it. They're showing wins against models like Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT‑5 on some of those reports, and doc VQA is flirting with “nearly solved” territory in their numbers.Two caveats. First, whenever scores get that high on imperfect benchmarks, you should expect healthy skepticism; known label issues can inflate numbers. Second, the model is big. Incredible for server-side grounding and long-form reasoning with vision (they're talking about scaling context to 1M tokens for two-hour video and long PDFs), but not something you throw on a phone.Still, if your workload smells like “reasoning + grounding + long context,” Qwen 3 VL looks like one of the strongest open-weight choices right now.Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B: end-to-end SOTA omni-modal AI unifying text, image, audio, and video (HF, GitHub, Qwen Chat, Demo, API)Omni is their end-to-end multimodal chat model that unites text, image, and audio—and crucially, it streams audio responses in real time while thinking separately in the background. Architecturally, it's a 30B MoE with around 3B active parameters at inference, which is the secret to why it feels snappy on consumer GPUs.In practice, that means you can talk to Omni, have it see what you see, and get sub-250 ms replies in nine speaker languages while it quietly plans. It claims to understand 119 languages. When I pushed it in multilingual conversational settings it still code-switched unexpectedly (Chinese suddenly appeared mid-flow), and it occasionally suffered the classic “stuck in thought” behavior we've been seeing in agentic voice modes across labs. But the responsiveness is real, and the footprint is exciting for local speech streaming scenarios. I wouldn't replace a top-tier text reasoner with this for hard problems, yet being able to keep speech native is a real UX upgrade.Qwen Image Edit, Qwen TTS Flash, and Qwen‑GuardQwen's image stack got a handy upgrade with multi-image reference editing for more consistent edits across shots—useful for brand assets and style-tight workflows. TTS Flash (API-only for now) is their fast speech synth line, and Q‑Guard is a new safety/moderation model from the same team. It's notable because Qwen hasn't really played in the moderation-model space before; historically Meta's Llama Guard led that conversation.DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus: a surgical bugfix that matters for agents (X, HF)DeepSeek whale resurfaced to push a small 0.1 update to V3.1 that reads like a “quality and stability” release—but those matter if you're building on top. It fixes a code-switching bug (the “sudden Chinese” syndrome you'll also see in some Qwen variants), improves tool-use and browser execution, and—importantly—makes agentic flows less likely to overthink and stall. On the numbers, Humanities Last Exam jumped from 15 to 21.7, while LiveCodeBench dipped slightly. That's the story here: they traded a few raw points on coding for more stable, less dithery behavior in end-to-end tasks. If you've invested in their tool harness, this may be a net win.Liquid Nanos: small models that extract like they're big (X, HF)Liquid Foundation Models released “Liquid Nanos,” a set of open models from roughly 350M to 2.6B parameters, including “extract” variants that pull structure (JSON/XML/YAML) from messy documents. The pitch is cost-efficiency with surprisingly competitive performance on information extraction tasks versus models 10× their size. If you're doing at-scale doc ingestion on CPUs or small GPUs, these look worth a try.Tiny IBM OCR model that blew up the charts (HF)We also saw a tiny IBM model (about 250M parameters) for image-to-text document parsing trending on Hugging Face. Run in 8-bit, it squeezes into roughly 250 MB, which means Raspberry Pi and “toaster” deployments suddenly get decent OCR/transcription against scanned docs. It's the kind of tiny-but-useful release that tends to quietly power entire products.Meta's 32B Code World Model (CWM) released for agentic code reasoning (X, HF)Nisten got really excited about this one, and once he explained it, I understood why. Meta released a 32B code world model that doesn't just generate code - it understands code the way a compiler does. It's thinking about state, types, and the actual execution context of your entire codebase.This isn't just another coding model - it's a fundamentally different approach that could change how all future coding models are built. Instead of treating code as fancy text completion, it's actually modeling the program from the ground up. If this works out, expect everyone to copy this approach.Quick note, this one was released with a research license only! Evals & Benchmarks: agents, deception, and code at scaleA big theme this week was “move beyond single-turn Q&A and test how these things behave in the wild.” with a bunch of new evals released. I wanted to cover them all in a separate segment. OpenAI's GDP Eval: “economically valuable tasks” as a bar (X, Blog)OpenAI introduced GDP Eval to measure model performance against real-world, economically valuable work. The design is closer to how I think about “AGI as useful work”: 44 occupations across nine sectors, with tasks judged against what an industry professional would produce.Two details stood out. First, OpenAI's own models didn't top the chart in their published screenshot—Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.1 led with roughly a 47.6% win rate against human professionals, while GPT‑5-high clocked in around 38%. Releasing a benchmark where you're not on top earns respect. Second, the tasks are legit. One example was a manufacturing engineer flow where the output required an overall design with an exploded view of components—the kind of deliverable a human would actually make.What I like here isn't the precise percent; it's the direction. If we anchor progress to tasks an economy cares about, we move past “trivia with citations” and toward “did this thing actually help do the work?”GAIA 2 (Meta Super Intelligence Labs + Hugging Face): agents that execute (X, HF)MSL and HF refreshed GAIA, the agent benchmark, with a thousand new human-authored scenarios that test execution, search, ambiguity handling, temporal reasoning, and adaptability—plus a smartphone-like execution environment. GPT‑5-high led across execution and search; Kimi's K2 was tops among open-weight entries. I like that GAIA 2 bakes in time and budget constraints and forces agents to chain steps, not just spew plans. We need more of these.Scale AI's “SWE-Bench Pro” for coding in the large (HF)Scale dropped a stronger coding benchmark focused on multi-file edits, 100+ line changes, and large dependency graphs. On the public set, GPT‑5 (not Codex) and Claude Opus 4.1 took the top two slots; on a commercial set, Opus edged ahead. The broader takeaway: the action has clearly moved to test-time compute, persistent memory, and program-synthesis outer loops to get through larger codebases with fewer invalid edits. This aligns with what we're seeing across ARC‑AGI and SWE‑bench Verified.The “Among Us” deception test (X)One more that's fun but not frivolous: a group benchmarked models on the social deception game Among Us. OpenAI's latest systems reportedly did the best job both lying convincingly and detecting others' lies. This line of work matters because social inference and adversarial reasoning show up in real agent deployments—security, procurement, negotiations, even internal assistant safety.Big Companies, Bigger Bets!Nvidia's $100B pledge to OpenAI for 10GW of computeLet's say that number again: one hundred billion dollars. Nvidia announced plans to invest up to $100B into OpenAI's infrastructure build-out, targeting roughly 10 gigawatts of compute and power. Jensen called it the biggest infrastructure project in history. Pair that with OpenAI's Stargate-related announcements—five new datacenters with Oracle and SoftBank and a flagship site in Abilene, Texas—and you get to wild territory fast.Internal notes circulating say OpenAI started the year around 230MW and could exit 2025 north of 2GW operational, while aiming at 20GW in the near term and a staggering 250GW by 2033. Even if those numbers shift, the directional picture is clear: the GPU supply and power curves are going vertical.Two reactions. First, yes, the “infinite money loop” memes wrote themselves—OpenAI spends on Nvidia GPUs, Nvidia invests in OpenAI, the market adds another $100B to Nvidia's cap for good measure. But second, the underlying demand is real. If we need 1–8 GPUs per “full-time agent” and there are 3+ billion working adults, we are orders of magnitude away from compute saturation. The power story is the real constraint—and that's now being tackled in parallel.OpenAI: ChatGPT Pulse: Proactive AI news cards for your day (X, OpenAI Blog)In a #BreakingNews segment, we got an update from OpenAI, that currently works only for Pro users but will come to everyone soon. Proactive AI, that learns from your chats, email and calendar and will show you a new “feed” of interesting things every morning based on your likes and feedback! Pulse marks OpenAI's first step toward an AI assistant that brings the right info before you ask, tuning itself with every thumbs-up, topic request, or app connection. I've tuned mine for today, we'll see what tomorrow brings! P.S - Huxe is a free app from the creators of NotebookLM (Ryza was on our podcast!) that does a similar thing, so if you don't have pro, check out Huxe, they just launched! XAI Grok 4 fast - 2M context, 40% fewer thinking tokens, shockingly cheap (X, Blog)xAI launched Grok‑4 Fast, and the name fits. Think “top-left” on the speed-to-cost chart: up to 2 million tokens of context, a reported 40% reduction in reasoning token usage, and a price tag that's roughly 1% of some frontier models on common workloads. On LiveCodeBench, Grok‑4 Fast even beat Grok‑4 itself. It's not the most capable brain on earth, but as a high-throughput assistant that can fan out web searches and stitch answers in something close to real time, it's compelling.Alibaba Qwen-Max and plans for scaling (X, Blog, API)Back in the Alibaba camp, they also released their flagship API model, Qwen 3 Max, and showed off their future roadmap. Qwen-max is over 1T parameters, MoE that gets 69.6 on Swe-bench verified and outperforms GPT-5 on LMArena! And their plan is simple: scale. They're planning to go from 1 million to 100 million token context windows and scale their models into the terabytes of parameters. It culminated in a hilarious moment on the show where we all put on sunglasses to salute a slide from their presentation that literally said, “Scaling is all you need.” AGI is coming, and it looks like Alibaba is one of the labs determined to scale their way there. Their release schedule lately (as documented by Swyx from Latent.space) is insane. This Week's Buzz: W&B Fully Connected is coming to London and Tokyo & Another hackathon in SFWeights & Biases (now part of the CoreWeave family) is bringing Fully Connected to London on Nov 4–5, with another event in Tokyo on Oct 31. If you're in Europe or Japan and want two days of dense talks and hands-on conversations with teams actually shipping agents, evals, and production ML, come hang out. Readers got a code on stream; if you need help getting a seat, ping me directly.Links: fullyconnected.comWe are also opening up registrations to our second WeaveHacks hackathon in SF, October 11-12, yours trully will be there, come hack with us on Self Improving agents! Register HEREVision & Video: Wan 2.2 Animate, Kling 2.5, and Wan 4.5 previewThis is the most exciting space in AI week-to-week for me right now. The progress is visible. Literally.Moondream-3 Preview - Interview with co-founders Via & JayWhile I've already reported on Moondream-3 in the last weeks newsletter, this week we got the pleasure of hosting Vik Korrapati and Jay Allen the co-founders of MoonDream to tell us all about it. Tune in for that conversation on the pod starting at 00:33:00Wan open sourced Wan 2.2 Animate (aka “Wan Animate”): motion transfer and lip sync Tongyi's Wan team shipped an open-source release that the community quickly dubbed “Wanimate.” It's a character-swap/motion transfer system: provide a single image for a character and a reference video (your own motion), and it maps your movement onto the character with surprisingly strong hair/cloth dynamics and lip sync. If you've used runway's Act One, you'll recognize the vibe—except this is open, and the fidelity is rising fast.The practical uses are broader than “make me a deepfake.” Think onboarding presenters with perfect backgrounds, branded avatars that reliably say what you need, or precise action blocking without guessing at how an AI will move your subject. You act it; it follows.Kling 2.5 Turbo: cinematic motion, cheaper and with audioKling quietly rolled out a 2.5 Turbo tier that's 30% cheaper and finally brings audio into the loop for more complete clips. Prompts adhere better, physics look more coherent (acrobatics stop breaking bones across frames), and the cinematic look has moved from “YouTube short” to “film-school final.” They seeded access to creators and re-shared the strongest results; the consistency is the headline. (Source X: @StevieMac03)I've chatted with my kiddos today over facetime, and they were building minecraft creepers. I took a screenshot, sent to Nano Banana to make their creepers into actual minecraft ones, and then with Kling, Animated the explosions for them. They LOVED it! Animations were clear, while VEO refused for me to even upload their images, Kling didn't care hahaWan 4.5 preview: native multimodality, 1080p 10s, and lip-synced speechWan also teased a 4.5 preview that unifies understanding and generation across text, image, video, and audio. The eye-catching bit: generate a 1080p, 10-second clip with synced speech from just a script. Or supply your own audio and have it lip-sync the shot. I ran my usual “interview a polar bear dressed like me” test and got one of the better results I've seen from any model. We're not at “dialogue scene” quality, but “talking character shot” is getting… good. The generation of audio (not only text + lipsync) is one of the best ones besides VEO, it's really great to see how strongly this improves, sad that this wasn't open sourced! And apparently it supports “draw text to animate” (Source: X) Voice & AudioSuno V5: we've entered the “I can't tell anymore” eraSuno calls V5 a redefinition of audio quality. I'll be honest, I'm at the edge of my subjective hearing on this. I've caught myself listening to Suno streams instead of Spotify and forgetting anything is synthetic. The vocals feel more human, the mixes cleaner, and the remastering path (including upgrading V4 tracks) is useful. The last 10% to “you fooled a producer” is going to be long, but the distance between V4 and V5 already makes me feel like I should re-cut our ThursdAI opener.MiMI Audio: a small omni-chat demo that hints at the floorWe tried a MiMI Audio demo live—a 7B-ish model with speech in/out. It was responsive but stumbled on singing and natural prosody. I'm leaving it in here because it's a good reminder that the open floor for “real-time voice” is rising quickly even for small models. And the moment you pipe a stronger text brain behind a capable, native speech front-end, the UX leap is immediate.Ok, another DENSE week that finishes up Shiptember, tons of open source, Qwen (Tongyi) shines, and video is getting so so good. This is all converging folks, and honestly, I'm just happy to be along for the ride! This week was also Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish new year, and I've shared on the pod that I've found my X post from 3 years ago, using the state of the art AI models of the time. WHAT A DIFFERENCE 3 years make, just take a look, I had to scale down the 4K one from this year just to fit into the pic! Shana Tova to everyone who's reading this, and we'll see you next week

Anja Kling über die Freude am Spielen, ihre besondere Beziehung zu ihrer Schwester Gerit und warum sie sich sehr gerne an ihre Hochzeit erinnert.

Rory and Drew invite creative polymath Marco Isle to do what this show does best: break Midjourney in interesting ways. It's a token binge from shadow play, moonlight, GOBO shadows, datamosh, pixel smear, prismatic rainbow light streaks, and androgynous beauty plus where --exp actually makes images better (and where it ruins them). They also crack open token bashing (smashing words to birth fresh visuals), show why aspect ratio is half the art, and steal moodboard fuel from Cosmos.so.Then it gets dangerous. Nano Banana enters the chat, turning one still into dozens of consistent shots with plain-English tweaks. They compare video stacks and frames workflows (Veo-3, Kling, keyframes), talk Weavy automation, and use a real “Book of Jonah” case study (42 scenes, ~5k images) to show how fast this all moves (and where it still breaks). It's Midjourney's magic, but with receipts.Keywords: Midjourney tokens, token bashing, EXP settings, aspect ratio, mood boards, Cosmos.so, Nano Banana, Weavy, frames, keyframes, Veo-3, Kling, AI image generation, Midjourney video, consistency, creative workflow.---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:00 — Cold open + guest intro (Marco Isle)00:35 — Marco's background: design → UX/UI → fashion04:48 — Aesthetics vs. mechanics; the cooking/technique mindset10:50 — “Rome Reimagined” + early Frames testing15:59 — Token bashing & Marco's custom GPT flow20:59 — Favorite tokens: shadowplay & moonlight21:32 — New token: gobo shadows (why it works)22:19 — Glitch looks: pixel smear & datamosh23:34 — Prismatic rainbow light streaks (stacking ideas)23:54 — Androgynous beauty as a control aesthetic25:22 — --exp sweet-spots (3, 7, 10, 13)27:17 — “Liturgical drift parade” prompt set30:24 — Why Aspect Ratio is everything34:12 — Idea sources: mood boards + Cosmos.so38:54 — Nano Banana enters the chat (workflow + why it's different)42:15 — Case study: Book of Jonah (42 scenes, ~5k images)43:03 — Video models: Veo-3 notes + start/end frame43:33 — Weavy & automation; setting guardrails50:00 — NanoBanana pros/cons; real-world limitations52:51 — Frames: Kling vs others; aspect-ratio flips55:11 — Aspect-ratio workaround (whitespace expand)57:47 — Keyframes consistency test (the car roll)---LINKS:Nano Banana—Image Gen Documentation: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/image-generation#prompt-guideMarco Isle on X: https://x.com/ai_artworkgenMarco Isle on Gumroad: https://markisle.gumroad.comDrew's 1% Midjourney Style Guide: https://dcbruck.gumroad.com/l/Midjourney-Course/ib3nsqs

This one's for the real ones and the day ones.

C'est une bataille de titans qui agite en ce moment le petit monde de l'intelligence artificielle générative vidéo. Aux avant-postes, Google, avec son impressionnant VEO 3, impose sa puissance… mais à un prix. Comptez jusqu'à 200 euros par mois pour profiter pleinement des performances de cette IA surdouée. Et Google n'est pas seul sur le champ de bataille : OpenAI avec Sora, Runway Gen-3, Kling, SeaDance... Tous ces géants ont un point commun : ils font payer – cher – un service qui reste extrêmement gourmand en puissance de calcul. Face à cette avalanche d'outils premium, certaines plateformes tentent de proposer des alternatives plus accessibles. Hailuo AI, par exemple, réduit les coûts mais impose des filigranes ou des temps d'attente parfois longs. Et puis, il y a Vheer. Un nom encore peu connu… mais qui pourrait bien faire parler de lui.Vheer, c'est l'outsider qui bouscule les codes. Accessible en ligne, sans inscription, l'outil propose de générer des vidéos courtes… gratuitement. Pas de watermark, pas de compte à créer, et une interface simple qui accepte les formats classiques : carré, paysage, portrait. Le tout, en seulement quelques minutes de traitement. Autant dire que ça intrigue. Alors bien sûr, il y a des limites. D'abord, Vheer ne transforme pas encore un texte en vidéo directement. Il faut lui fournir une image. Mais l'astuce, c'est que l'appli propose aussi une fonction de génération d'image via prompt. Autrement dit, vous tapez une idée, il crée une image… que vous transformez ensuite en clip.La durée, elle, est limitée à cinq secondes – un recul récent face à l'afflux de demandes. Mais en rusant un peu, on peut enchaîner les clips à partir de l'image finale du précédent, et les assembler dans un logiciel comme CapCut ou Premiere. Autre conseil : téléchargez vite vos créations, car sans compte, rien n'est conservé. Et ce n'est pas tout. Suppression de fond, OCR, édition d'images… Vheer regorge de fonctions IA, toutes gratuites pour le moment. Une chose est sûre : si le modèle évolue, profitez-en tant qu'il est encore ouvert à tous.

How to maintain character consistency, style consistency, etc in an AI video. Prosumers can use Google Veo 3's "High-Quality Chaining" for fast social media content. Indie filmmakers can achieve narrative consistency by combining Midjourney V7 for style, Kling for lip-synced dialogue, and Runway Gen-4 for camera control, while professional studios gain full control with a layered ComfyUI pipeline to output multi-layer EXR files for standard VFX compositing. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-27 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Descript - my favorite AI audio/video editor AI Audio Tool Selection Music: Use Suno for complete songs or Udio for high-quality components for professional editing. Sound Effects: Use ElevenLabs' SFX for integrated podcast production or SFX Engine for large, licensed asset libraries for games and film. Voice: ElevenLabs gives the most realistic voice output. Murf.ai offers an all-in-one studio for marketing, and Play.ht has a low-latency API for developers. Open-Source TTS: For local use, StyleTTS 2 generates human-level speech, Coqui's XTTS-v2 is best for voice cloning from minimal input, and Piper TTS is a fast, CPU-friendly option. I. Prosumer Workflow: Viral Video Goal: Rapidly produce branded, short-form video for social media. This method bypasses Veo 3's weaker native "Extend" feature. Toolchain Image Concept: GPT-4o (API: GPT-Image-1) for its strong prompt adherence, text rendering, and conversational refinement. Video Generation: Google Veo 3 for high single-shot quality and integrated ambient audio. Soundtrack: Udio for creating unique, "viral-style" music. Assembly: CapCut for its standard short-form editing features. Workflow Create Character Sheet (GPT-4o): Generate a primary character image with a detailed "locking" prompt, then use conversational follow-ups to create variations (poses, expressions) for visual consistency. Generate Video (Veo 3): Use "High-Quality Chaining." Clip 1: Generate an 8s clip from a character sheet image. Extract Final Frame: Save the last frame of Clip 1. Clip 2: Use the extracted frame as the image input for the next clip, using a "this then that" prompt to continue the action. Repeat as needed. Create Music (Udio): Use Manual Mode with structured prompts ([Genre: ...], [Mood: ...]) to generate and extend a music track. Final Edit (CapCut): Assemble clips, layer the Udio track over Veo's ambient audio, add text, and use "Auto Captions." Export in 9:16. II. Indie Filmmaker Workflow: Narrative Shorts Goal: Create cinematic short films with consistent characters and storytelling focus, using a hybrid of specialized tools. Toolchain Visual Foundation: Midjourney V7 to establish character and style with --cref and --sref parameters. Dialogue Scenes: Kling for its superior lip-sync and character realism. B-Roll/Action: Runway Gen-4 for its Director Mode camera controls and Multi-Motion Brush. Voice Generation: ElevenLabs for emotive, high-fidelity voices. Edit & Color: DaVinci Resolve for its integrated edit, color, and VFX suite and favorable cost model. Workflow Create Visual Foundation (Midjourney V7): Generate a "hero" character image. Use its URL with --cref --cw 100 to create consistent character poses and with --sref to replicate the visual style in other shots. Assemble a reference set. Create Dialogue Scenes (ElevenLabs -> Kling): Generate the dialogue track in ElevenLabs and download the audio. In Kling, generate a video of the character from a reference image with their mouth closed. Use Kling's "Lip Sync" feature to apply the ElevenLabs audio to the neutral video for a perfect match. Create B-Roll (Runway Gen-4): Use reference images from Midjourney. Apply precise camera moves with Director Mode or add localized, layered motion to static scenes with the Multi-Motion Brush. Assemble & Grade (DaVinci Resolve): Edit clips and audio on the Edit page. On the Color page, use node-based tools to match shots from Kling and Runway, then apply a final creative look. III. Professional Studio Workflow: Full Control Goal: Achieve absolute pixel-level control, actor likeness, and integration into standard VFX pipelines using an open-source, modular approach. Toolchain Core Engine: ComfyUI with Stable Diffusion models (e.g., SD3, FLUX). VFX Compositing: DaVinci Resolve (Fusion page) for node-based, multi-layer EXR compositing. Control Stack & Workflow Train Character LoRA: Train a custom LoRA on a 15-30 image dataset of the actor in ComfyUI to ensure true likeness. Build ComfyUI Node Graph: Construct a generation pipeline in this order: Loaders: Load base model, custom character LoRA, and text prompts (with LoRA trigger word). ControlNet Stack: Chain multiple ControlNets to define structure (e.g., OpenPose for skeleton, Depth map for 3D layout). IPAdapter-FaceID: Use the Plus v2 model as a final reinforcement layer to lock facial identity before animation. AnimateDiff: Apply deterministic camera motion using Motion LoRAs (e.g., v2_lora_PanLeft.ckpt). KSampler -> VAE Decode: Generate the image sequence. Export Multi-Layer EXR: Use a node like mrv2SaveEXRImage to save the output as an EXR sequence (.exr). Configure for a professional pipeline: 32-bit float, linear color space, and PIZ/ZIP lossless compression. This preserves render passes (diffuse, specular, mattes) in a single file. Composite in Fusion: In DaVinci Resolve, import the EXR sequence. Use Fusion's node graph to access individual layers, allowing separate adjustments to elements like color, highlights, and masks before integrating the AI asset into a final shot with a background plate.

Google Veo leads the generative video market with superior 4K photorealism and integrated audio, an advantage derived from its YouTube training data. OpenAI Sora is the top tool for narrative storytelling, while Kuaishou Kling excels at animating static images with realistic, high-speed motion.

S-Tier: Google Veo The market leader due to superior visual quality, physics simulation, 4K resolution, and integrated audio generation, which removes post-production steps. It accurately interprets cinematic prompts ("timelapse," "aerial shots"). Its primary advantage is its integration with Google products, using YouTube's vast video library for rapid model improvement. The professional focus is clear with its filmmaking tool, "Flow." A-Tier: Sora & Kling OpenAI Sora: Excels at interpreting complex narrative prompts and has wide distribution through ChatGPT. Features include in-video editing tools like "Remix" and a "Storyboard" function for multi-shot scenes. Its main limits are 1080p resolution and no native audio. Kuaishou Kling: A leader in image-to-video quality and realistic high-speed motion. It maintains character consistency and has proven commercial viability (RMB 150M in Q1 2025). Its text-to-video interface is less intuitive than Sora's. Summary: Sora is best for storytellers starting with a narrative idea; Kling is best for artists animating a specific image. Control and Customization: Runway & Stable Diffusion Runway: An integrated creative suite with a full video editor and "AI Magic Tools" like Motion Brush and Director Mode. Its value is in generating, editing, and finishing in one platform, offering precise control over stylization and in-shot object alteration. Stable Diffusion: An open-source ecosystem (SVD, AnimateDiff) offering maximum control through technical interfaces like ComfyUI. Its strength is a large community developing custom models, LoRAs, and ControlNets for specific tasks like VFX integration. It has a steep learning curve.

When the first video diffusion models started emerging, they were little more than just “moving pictures” - still frames extended a few seconds in either direction in time. There was a ton of excitement about OpenAI's Sora on release through 2024, but so far only Sora-lite has been widely released. Meanwhile, other good videogen models like Genmo Mochi, Pika, MiniMax T2V, Tencent Hunyuan Video, and Kuaishou's Kling have emerged, but the reigning king this year seems to be Google's Veo 3, which for the first time has added native audio generation into their model capabilities, eliminating the need for a whole class of lipsynching tooling and SFX editing. The rise of Veo 3 unlocks a whole new category of AI Video creators that many of our audience may not have been exposed to, but is undeniably effective and important particularly in the “kids” and “brainrot” segments of the global consumer internet platforms like Tiktok, YouTube and Instagram. By far the best documentarians of these trends for laypeople are Olivia and Justine Moore, both partners at a16z, who not only collate the best examples from all over the web, but dabble in video creation themselves to put theory into practice.

AI-powered video tools have made glossy production values a commodity, so what's left to set your brand apart? In this punchy episode, host Guy Bauer (founder & creative director of Umault) serves up a hard truth: entertaining your audience is now non-negotiable. Guy unpacks how next-gen platforms like Veo 3, Kling 2.1, and a flood of other text-to-video engines have leveled the playing field. Anybody can crank out a slick 30-second spot with “people laughing at sinks” (listen to the episode for this to make sense), holographic dashboards, and a generic voice-over. The result? Those once-premium visuals are just table stakes. Drawing on a tongue-in-cheek cybersecurity ad he generated in seconds, Guy illustrates why story, and genuine viewer delight, are the new differentiators. Whether you're an in-house B2B marketer, agency lead, or brand storyteller, you'll leave with a clear mandate: stop blending in and start delivering value within the ad itself. Listen for a dose of reality, a spark of inspiration, and a challenge to make your next video ad impossible to ignore.
