- Runway Gen-4.5 and Aleph 2.0 now deployable via Baseten dedicated inference
Baseten said it has partnered with Runway to let enterprises deploy Runway's Gen-4.5 and Aleph 2.0 video models, including fine-tuned versions, in single-tenant environments with dedicated GPU resources through Baseten Dedicated Inference. Gen-4.5 generates video from text and image inputs with support for scene direction, camera movement and multiple visual styles, while Aleph 2.0 edits generated or existing footage — changing an element or restyling a scene and carrying the edit across shots; it supports multi-scene videos up to 30 seconds at 1080p. Customers license the model weights directly from Runway, while Baseten manages the control plane, infrastructure, fine-tuning and serving, and claims a 99.99% uptime SLA; the blog also names Amazon, Robinhood, Dolce & Gabbana and Microsoft among enterprise creative teams already using Runway in production.

AI infrastructure company Modal said it raised a $750 million Series D at a $15.75 billion post-money valuation, led by Accel with Kleiner Perkins joining and existing investors including Menlo Ventures, General Catalyst, Redpoint, Lux Capital and Bain Capital Ventures participating. The company said it has crossed $1 billion in annualized run rate, that usage has tripled in the five months since its Series C and grown more than 15x year over year, and that its Sandboxes product alone runs at roughly a $300 million annual rate with close to 3 billion sandboxes started since 2023. It lists customers such as DoorDash, Ramp, Linear, Cognition and Runway, alongside robotics firms Physical Intelligence and 1X training robots on its platform.

Replit and Runway announced an integration that connects Runway to Replit via MCP, letting users generate images, video and assets directly inside a project, from first idea to a finished site. In its post, Replit said the connection takes seconds and pointed to runway.com/mcp#replit to get started. Both companies' claims are promotional, and neither disclosed which models are supported, availability scope or pricing.

Several outlets republished the same Dingjiao One feature on the AI video-editing market, which opens with an editor's test letting Claude Opus 5.5 make a short video on its own: it called Fish Audio to clone his voice and HeyGen to drive a digital avatar, then analyzed two reference videos frame by frame and coded the motion effects and sound design, with the editor saying no keyframe was made by hand. The piece describes Jianying's AI workspace Hub, smart editing assistant and AI Ultra membership (199 yuan a month with 22,100 AI credits), Adobe adding agent capabilities to Premiere, and AI-native players like Descript and OpusClip plus video-model companies such as Runway and Kling pushing into fuller production pipelines. The author argues a new pricing model based on credits and usage is emerging, while software vendors are squeezed between rising upstream model and compute costs and users pushing prices down; the efficiency and cost-saving figures cited come from vendor demos or customer cases rather than independent verification.
虎嗅 AI · 🔥 0 - ArtCraft launches an AI image and video creation IDE
ArtCraft, which appeared on GitHub Trending, describes itself as an "intentional crafting engine" for artists, designers and filmmakers, and an IDE for interactive AI image and video creation. It combines 2D compositing, 3D scene staging, character posing and identity transfer, image-to-3D mesh and background removal with text-to-image, prompted image editing and image-to-video flows, letting users pick their own models. Its listed catalog totals 62 models — 16 image, 25 video, 5 music and sound, 11 3D mesh and 5 world/Gaussian-splat models — with integrations including Grok, Midjourney, Sora and World Labs Marble; some entries are marked disabled or restricted, and Kling, Google, Runway and Luma integrations are listed as planned.
GitHub Trending（每日） · 🔥 0 - AI is rewriting video editing workflows — and who gets to call themselves a pro
A commentary published by TMTPost argues that AI is reshaping video editing along three lines: smarter understanding of footage, democratized fine-grained control, and automated delivery, shifting “professional editing power” toward a wider pool of creators. It cites an Adobe survey of more than 16,000 creators in which 57% said AI-generated output still needs moderate or heavy post-editing, 93% want faster production and 85% insist on keeping final creative control. The author also contends that free tiers are turning from stripped-down teasers into entry points, and that competition is moving from individual features to a full workbench spanning generation, fine editing and multi-platform delivery.
钛媒体 · 🔥 0 - Jensen Huang 'MJ world tour' AI meme videos flood Bilibili, spotlighting Chinese video models
Since late September, Bilibili creators have posted a wave of "Michael Jackson world tour" AI edits that swap figures such as Jensen Huang, Zhuge Liang and Mendeleev into MJ's Jam concert footage; one Huang version by creator "Wangyuyexing" had 3.33 million views as of Oct 8 and was reposted by Elon Musk, who joked it explained why memory is so expensive. The article says the workflow is simple: replace characters locally and free with ComfyUI's Wan 2.2 Animate, or use online platforms such as UPDream's template-copy feature. It cites the Artificial Analysis video-editing leaderboard as ranking Alibaba's Wan 3.0 first, ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 second and MiniMax H3 fourth, and says a 4-second clip costs as little as 0.28 yuan domestically under a promo, far below the per-clip share of Runway's subscription credits.

Kling AI has reportedly selected CICC, Goldman Sachs and UBS to prepare a Hong Kong IPO that could raise at least $1 billion, with a target as early as 2027; the timing and size may change. The analysis argues that a separate listing could give AI-video investors a direct investment option while forcing Kuaishou Technology to justify the value of its advertising, e-commerce and livestreaming businesses, as well as its capital allocation.
36氪 人工智能 · 🔥 0 - Kling AI picks CICC, Goldman Sachs, UBS for $1B-plus Hong Kong IPO
Kling AI, the AI video generation unit spun out of Kuaishou Technology, has selected China International Capital Corp., Goldman Sachs and UBS to work on a Hong Kong initial public offering that could raise at least $1 billion, Bloomberg reported via The Information, with a listing targeted as soon as next year. TMTPost said the target is as early as 2027, while AIbase said 2026; Kling has not publicly commented and timing and size remain subject to change. TMTPost reported Kling revenue of more than 850 million yuan in the second quarter of 2026, up over 200% year on year, while Kuaishou group revenue rose 1.4% to 35.535 billion yuan; after a July 2026 capital increase, Kuaishou entities retained roughly 68% of the restructured Kling entity and a majority of voting power.
