AI video finally has the voice to match the performance.
Chimera pairs Eleven v4 with Seedance 2.5 so your characters sound as real as they look.
Use audio tags to direct tone, emotion, and delivery, and dial in just the right amount of drama.
What if your character could finally say it themselves? With Chimera they can.
Chimera pairs two of the world’s leading models, Eleven v4 and Seedance 2.5, to create realistic video with rich, emotional voices.
In ElevenCreative, create or upload a character, write their line, and pick a voice or design one to match. Direct the performance with audio tags like [whispers], [laughs] and [yells] to control the timing and mood of every word.
Eleven v4 puts the emotion in the voice. Seedance 2.5 carries it onto the face.

Looking right in 2D doesn’t really mean the scene holds together in 3D. That's why we open-sourced BlenderWorld last week and wanted to give it a closer look here.
It’s a benchmark with 223 tasks where agents use Blender to build editable 3D scenes from text, images or video references. We evaluate the actual projects through scene inspection and renders from multiple viewpoints. Can a visual agent turn a real-world brief into a complete, editable 3D scene? BlenderWorld is here to evaluate that
You can grab the benchmark below (Links in the comment) and plug in your own 3D agent to see how it does

We’re excited to announce the official release of NVIDIA Isaac Lab 3.0. 🎉
Isaac Lab 3.0 brings a new modular and lightweight architecture along with major new capabilities across the robot learning workflow: multi-physics and multi-rendering support, training at scale, and streamlined deployment on real hardware.
With Newton integration, the new OVRTX renderer, RL post-training, and LEAPP deployment, there’s a lot to explore.
Here’s a look at what’s new 🧵

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent.
It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

The FLUX Video Upscaler received a full upgrade.
It’s now the best video upscaler on the market, while costing less than Topaz Astra 2 and being twice as fast.
Upscale any video up to 4K.

When I was writing Unreal Engine 1, my time was divided as follows:
- Around 30% went to seriously deep coding on hard problems: assembly language texture mappers, C++ BSP trees, data persistence, object oriented systems design, and networking.
- Around 70% was just typing and refactoring large bodies of code needed for a complete engine feature set. This was not hard, and while I was doing it my mind was mostly on the deeper coding topics, thinking and planning for what's next. It didn't feel much different from vibe coding today, except that it was just me typing code on an IBM Model M keyboard rather than prompting it and reviewing the results.
So, it has always seemed perfectly logical that we would rely on AI for that 70%, once the AI could do it with a similar quality standard as we could, which has never been perfection. It came as no surprise that, after a few years of AI model evolution, it was able to take the reigns on that 70% and free up programmers' time for more valuable tasks.
What's more of a surprise is the emergence of AI as a sort of insta-Carmack able to solve hard technical problems quite cleverly and often cleanly, and that it's able to reason about and work in complex 3D scenes both by operating the tools and by directly understanding the raw data files.
I abandoned assembly language in 1998 when out-of-order CPUs made much simpler C/C++ code faster, and never I missed it. If prompting through architectural documents, concept art, and design plans can transcend typing code and tweaking vertices, that will enable developers to spend their time on higher-level, higher value technical and creative tasks.
What matters is the end product, whether it's a game or an engine. Anything developers can do to try out more ideas and make better software and games faster is a win for everyone.

The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.

Drama 3 by Fish Audio is now the top open TTS model.
Allows meta tags within your transcript to control emotion, direction, SFX. Pretty good at voice cloning too.
