Background: Runway Gen-3 is a fresh neural network for video creation. The article showcases examples and explains practical use.
Neural networks are advancing rapidly. Each week brings new tools that handle tasks once reserved for artists, animators, voice actors, and even game developers. This article curates several notable networks that emerged online during the second summer month, highlighting what makes them stand out.
Blade AI
Kuaishou, based in Beijing and a major player in short video platforms, released Kling AI to produce clips up to 120 seconds at 30 frames per second and 1080p. Those capabilities compare well with what OpenAI offers through Sora in practical scenarios.
Reports from Kuaishou indicate the system can simulate intricate physical models. In practice, some limitations appear, such as desynchronization where moving objects momentarily drift out of sync with others.
Until July 25, the service operated exclusively in China. Registration is now open internationally, allowing anyone to create six free videos of up to five seconds each.

GPT-4o mini
OpenAI released a compact version of GPT-4o in July to replace the older GPT-3.5, which is no longer available. The mini remains capable for everyday tasks, handling text, images, video and audio, searching the web, and solving simple problems. For specialized roles, third party apps may extend its reach.
Do neural networks have the potential to replace human artists entirely?
Track Gen-3
Runway Gen-3, focused on creating short, realistic human faces and expressions, has been accessible to users since July 2. A more detailed discussion appears in a separate article.
Codestral Mamba
Mistral has introduced Codestral Mamba to generate new code lines and fix syntax errors. The company touts it as a strong helper for local development teams.
Mathematical
This Mistral project enables complex mathematical calculations. It is useful for students, educators, and engineers who work with computational tasks.
FLUX
FLUX, developed by a team behind Stable Diffusion, focuses on image generation from text prompts. A free, unrestricted option exists, and users in Russia may explore its capabilities as well.
Suno AI
Suno AI creates music from text prompts. It was integrated into Microsoft Copilot in December 2023 and released a mobile version for iOS and Android on July 1, 2024. This makes it possible to experiment with its features anywhere, even on the go.
