Most AI video tools stop at prompting, but LTX goes a layer deeper.
Introducing the new LTX Trainer.
Train LoRAs and IC-LoRAs across video, audio, cross-modal, and reference-conditioned workflows from a single framework.
Plus:
• New agentic skill
• Flexible conditioning
• Free IC-LoRAs
• Fully open source
Most models are generic.
The best ones become yours.

Hell yes! You go @MetaPuppet !!
Put Google Flow Tools in the hands of creatives, and what do you get? “Personalization at a global scale,” according to @MetaPuppet.
Alongside MetaPuppet, we partnered with five incredible creatives to build custom Tools for you to explore, including @poetengineer__ and @Maestasdesign.
Tools for creators, by creators. Hear their stories below:

Google Search as you know it is over.
The familiar blue links we’ve seen for 25 years are getting pushed out in favor of an “intelligent search box,” which Google is putting front and center as part of its all-in push for AI-powered experiences. The box will expand to accommodate for longer queries, and suggestions will be much more extensive versions of the autocomplete we’ve all seen in the search bar.
On top of all that, “information agents” are planned to release this summer, allowing you to track changes made to sites, whether it’s product prices or news updates, and alert you without any prompting.

The future of #AIproduction pipelines will not belong to companies locked into a single model, or workflow. The winners will be the teams building modular, flexible, agnostic systems that can evolve as fast as the industry does.

The tools we use for world building have evolved through the years. The reasons we build them have not.
I'm thrilled to be speaking tomorrow on the "From Miniatures to Machine Learning" panel at #RenderCon. We will be talking about filmmaking and next-gen technology.

Developing stories in the age of AI starts the same way it always has: with a great script. Our Head of Development, Tyler Mitchell, shares thoughts on development, collaboration, and why story still comes first in this new video below. And see link to his blog in the comments.

I could not agree more with @KristynaArcher POV: “We cast #AI as the main character. We anthropomorphized it, then wrote it as the villain. That choice reveals more about us than it does about AI. We assigned it agency, intention, presence.”

The future is hybrid, #AI is already here for workflows, automation and tools but it takes significant skill to deploy in a way that resonates with audiences. In this panel session, we will go through what it takes to be on the front lines!

So proud to be part of @promise_ai , leading #Technology and driving the evolution of MUSE, our hybrid production pipeline and studio OS.
One year ago today, we launched Promise because we believed generative technology could expand opportunities for filmmakers everywhere.
Today, that shift is real. The tools have advanced, new storytellers are emerging, and studios across the industry are exploring how GenAI might help solve production challenges and give more stories a path to the screen.
Our first year was about building a strong foundation: a world-class team of Hollywood experts and pioneering GenAI artists, a 10+ project film and TV slate across genres (including co productions), establishing MUSE as our studio operating system, expanding @CuriousRefuge to train 10K creators and studio teams in 170+ countries, and launching The Generation Company to support productions with AI VFX and pre production ideation.
Grateful for everyone building this with us. Read more about our journey in our blog below.
ALT Just a few of our awesome team members!

This is Enter The Closet
My first AI short film made collectively with some of my favorite AI artists and some new faces.
I prompted the narrative and asked the AI community to help me visualize the world.
This was a fun experimental exercise and I hope to do more in the future.
Many tools were used across all 23+ artists including Google Veo 3.1, Nano Banana, Adobe Firefly, Sora 2 Pro, Elevenlabs, Topaz, Luma Ray 3, Kling 2.5, Hailuo 2.3 and more...
I'll let them chime in on specific tools used.

We're thrilled to share the behind-the-scenes of "My Friend, Zeph" - a new short from Dave Clark, launched this week at #AdobeMax. The film is a tender story about connection between past and present, memory and imagination.
Using @AdobeFirefly, Dave brought the film to life using a hybrid approach that blended traditional filmmaking with generative tools. Working with actors on location and against blue screen, he used AI to enhance and expand the world, deepening its emotion and sense of wonder. The result is a story that feels both timeless, grounded in human performance, yet elevated by the magic of creative technology.
