GPT-5-Codex is OpenAI’s new, engineering-focused variant of GPT-5, tuned specifically for agentic software engineering inside the Codex product family. It’s designed to take on large real-world engineering workflows: creating full projects from scratch, adding features and tests, debugging, refactors, and performing code reviews while interacting with external tools and test suites. This release represents a […]
September 15, 2025. OpenAI unveiled GPT-5-Codex, a specialized variant of GPT-5 optimized for agentic software engineering inside its Codex product. The company says the model can operate autonomously on large, complex engineering tasks for more than seven hours at a stretch, iterating on implementations, fixing failing tests, and delivering completed work with reduced human intervention. […]
MiniMax today unveiled Music 1.5 (branded in some company channels as the Conch music model), a major upgrade to its generative-audio suite that the company says extends generation length and improves vocal realism while adding fine-grained, language-style control for creators. The release positions MiniMax to push AI music beyond short clips toward complete song production […]
Midjourney v7 sharpened control over text, image references, and style transfer — and that makes color control (what designers call palette prompting) far more reliable than it used to be. Version 7 shipped with improvements to style references and image handling, plus new workflow features (Draft Mode, Omni Reference, refined style adoption) that change how […]
Runway/upscale_v1 is Runway’s production-targeted video upscaler model (model id upscale_v1) designed to increase video resolution by 4× up to 4K (capped at 4096 pixels on a side). It’s available through Runway’s API surface and is also packaged on third-party model hosting marketplaces (e.g., CometAPI).
Model Type: Video
Gen-4 Image is Runway’s flagship multimodal image-generation model in the Gen-4 family that supports prompted generation plus visual references (you can “@mention” reference images) to produce highly controllable, stylistically consistent outputs for image and image→video pipelines.
Model Type: Image Generation
Runway Gen-4 Aleph(model id /gen4_aleph) is Runway’s in-context, video-to-video model that extends the Gen-4 family with powerful video editing, shot continuation and view-synthesis capabilities. In plain terms: Aleph can take an input clip and perform complex edits — add/remove/replace objects, relight, restyle, generate novel camera angles, and even generate the “next shot” in a sequence — driven by text prompts and optional reference images. This release is presented as a major step toward coherent, multi-shot video generation and in-context editing.
Model Type: Video
Act-Two is Runway’s next-generation AI performance capture and character animation tool: it ingests a short driving performance (a webcam or phone video of someone acting a scene) plus a character reference (image or video) and generates an animated character performance that transfers body, facial expression and hand motion to the character. Act-Two is offered inside Runway’s web product and as a model available through API ecosystem.

Seedream 4.0 — ByteDance’s newest image model — landed with a splash in the generative-AI world. It’s being hailed for professional-grade fidelity, unified generation + editing, multi-image consistency, and very fast inference times, and it’s already surfacing on partner platforms and model marketplaces. What is Seedream 4.0? Seedream 4.0 is the fourth-generation image model released […]
Anthropic’s Claude Code and the broader Claude family now give developers unprecedented control over how much the model sees and how deeply it reasons. Recent product updates (notably the Sonnet 4 1-million-token context window and Claude’s extended “thinking” controls) make context management both more powerful and more important: you can process whole repositories in a […]
