AI-based video generation has made great strides in recent years, but one of the most persistent obstacles has been maintaining the consistency of character identity across different scenes and actions. Many AI models, while excelling at creating visual content, often fail to preserve a character’s consistent appearance and behaviour, resulting in unrealistic and fragmented videos. Tencent directly addresses this challenge with the release of HunyuanCustom, an open source AI model designed to generate videos with consistent characters using multimodal inputs such as text, images, audio and video. Based on the HunyuanVideo framework, HunyuanCustom introduces an advanced architecture that integrates image-text…

At the heart of an ever-evolving crypto market, stablecoins are experiencing a second youth, and 2025 is proving to be the year when their economic centrality stops being a promise and becomes a fact. Solana ‘s new entry into the Global Dollar Network (GDN ) with its support of the USDG stablecoin is a clear signal: alternative chains are aiming to become major players in the global digital payments system, openly challenging Ethereum on its historical ground. The move brings Solana alongside Stellar, Polygon and Avalanche, marking a significant expansion of the GDN project and cementing USDG’s role as a…

It is no longer an isolated case. After New Hampshire,Arizona has also passed a bill for the creation of a strategic cryptocurrency reserve. We had anticipated this on BlockWorld commenting on the Granite State’s first historic step towards the public adoption of Bitcoin, and now the second pawn has fallen. Bill SB 1235, just signed by Governor Katie Hobbs, marks a structural change in the relationship between public finance and decentralised technology. It is not a passing fad: it is a new game plan. The text authorises the State of Arizona to create a commission with the task of exploring…

Those who work with generative video models know this well: there is a gulf between the promises of demos and real performance on a normal machine. The spectacular results shown on Twitter or in keynotes often only work in ultra-optimised environments, with $10,000 GPUs and pipelines impossible to replicate at home or in the studio. But now something has changed. Lightricks, already well-known in the world of mobile creativity, has released LTX-Video, an open-source model capable of generating real-time video on consumer hardware. The news is sensational for those involved in digital content, NFT, metaverse or immersive experiences. LTX-Video produces…

New Hampshire has just made history by becoming the first state in the United States to pass a law to establish a strategic reserve in Bitcoin. A political, cultural and economic gesture that shifts the axis of the national debate and could generate a domino effect in other states. The proposal, contained in Bill HB1503, authorises the creation of a commission to study and implement the purchase and custody of assets in Bitcoin by the state. At first glance it seems like a libertarian provocation typical of certain crypto-friendly circles, but on closer inspection it is much more: it is…

In the space of a few weeks, the artificial intelligence landscape has undergone a shake-up that we can no longer ignore. While the crypto sector is looking for new narratives, the AI front has just served up three heavy blows: Google, Amazon and the open source world have released tools that rewrite the boundaries between automation, creativity and computational power. The fact that they arrive almost simultaneously is no coincidence, and those involved in Web3, token economy or immersive content would do well to pay attention. Google has updated Gemini 2.5 Pro, its flagship model, with a series of improvements…

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we interact with technology, and Meta is at the forefront of this revolution with the launch of the Meta AI App, an integrated AI assistant that promises to change the rules of the game. This new app is not just a simple chatbot, but an advanced system that leverages state-of-the-art language models to deliver a fluid and personalised user experience, directly within the Meta ecosystem. The goal is clear: to make artificial intelligence accessible to everyone, seamlessly integrating it into everyday activities. Meta AI App presents itself as a virtual assistant capable of…

Grok, the Elon Musk chatbot developed by xAI, has received a major update that significantly expands its capabilities, with a focus on image management and visual intelligence improvements. The most interesting new feature concerns the introduction of the ‘Vision’ function, which allows Grok to interpret visual content such as photos, graphics and screenshots. The function, which has been awaited by X (formerly Twitter) users for months, is now active and enhanced with the release of the Grok 1.5 Vision version. The updated model is not only able to read and understand images, but also introduces the ability to analyse complex…

In the increasingly competitive landscape of artificial intelligence, Microsoft has just unveiled a technology that could radically change the way we conceive, develop and deploy AI models. It’s called BitNet b1.58 2B4T and is the first 1-bit quantised model, with a 2 billion parameter structure and a feature that could redefine the entire industry: it can run on ordinary CPUs. Yes, without the need for expensive GPUs or ultra-performing cloud infrastructures, paving the way for decentralised and ultra-accessible scenarios. This model, unlike classical AI based on floating points or more ‘traditional’ quantisation such as 8-bit or 4-bit, uses only three…

The artificial intelligence landscape is about to take a quantum leap that few had really anticipated. The announcement by Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, has formalised the integration of the MCP protocol into Gemini models, radically changing the way in which AIs can dialogue with real-time data. For those familiar with the industry, MCP – developed by Anthropic – is more than just a standard: it is an operating philosophy that transforms intelligent agents from simple responders to dynamic entities capable of interacting directly with databases, records, and live cloud systems. Until now, most artificial intelligences have been limited…
