Deni Avdija in Space Jam with LTX-2 I2V + iCloRA. Flow included
made a short video with LTX-2 using an iCloRA Flow to recreate a Space Jam scene, but swap Michael Jordan with Deni Avdija. Flow (GitHub): https://github.com/Lightricks/ComfyUI-LTXVideo/blob/master/example_workflows/LTX-2_ICLoRA_All_Distilled.json My process: I generated an image of each shot that matches the original as closely as possible just replacing MJ with Deni. I loaded the original video in the …

How PARTs Assemble into Wholes: Learning the Relative Composition of Images
The composition of objects and their parts, along with object-object positional relationships, provides a rich source of information for representation learning. Hence, spatial-aware pretext tasks have been actively explored in self-supervised learning. Existing works commonly start from a grid structure, where the goal of the pretext task involves predicting the absolute position index of patches …

Structured outputs on Amazon Bedrock: Schema-compliant AI responses
Today, we’re announcing structured outputs on Amazon Bedrock—a capability that fundamentally transforms how you can obtain validated JSON responses from foundation models through constrained decoding for schema compliance. This represents a paradigm shift in AI application development. Instead of validating JSON responses and writing fallback logic for when they fail, you can move straight to …

How we cut Vertex AI latency by 35% with GKE Inference Gateway
As generative AI moves from experimentation to production, platform engineers face a universal challenge for inference serving: you need low latency, high throughput, and manageable costs. It is a difficult balance. Traffic patterns vary wildly, from complex coding tasks that require processing huge amounts of data, to quick, chatty conversations that demand instant replies. Standard …

ICE Agent’s ‘Dragging’ Case May Help Expose Evidence in Renee Good Shooting
The government has withheld details of the investigation of Renee Good’s killing—but an unrelated case involving the ICE agent who shot her could force new revelations.
Scientists create smart synthetic skin that can hide images and change shape
Inspired by the shape-shifting skin of octopuses, Penn State researchers developed a smart hydrogel that can change appearance, texture, and shape on command. The material is programmed using a special printing technique that embeds digital instructions directly into the skin. Images and information can remain invisible until triggered by heat, liquids, or stretching.
New AI system pushes the time limits of generative video
A team of EPFL researchers has taken a major step towards resolving the problem of drift in generative video, which is what causes sequences to become incoherent after a handful of seconds. Their breakthrough paves the way to AI videos with no time constraints.
Z Image Base Knows Things and Can Deliver
Just a few samples from a lora trained using Z image base. First 4 pictures are generated using Z image turbo and the last 3 are using Z image base + 8 step distilled lora Lora is trained using almost 15000 images using ai toolkit (here is the config: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1qshy5a/comment/o2xs8vt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button ).
