Black Forest Labs has released FLUX.3 Video through its API and selected partners, combining video generation, native audio and editing controls in one model family. The launch supports clips of up to 20 seconds, multiple shots, keyframes and continuation from an existing video segment.
xAI has expanded Grok Imagine Video 1.5 with image and voice references, native 1080p output and wider text-to-video availability. Most capabilities are also reaching the API, while voice references begin with a limited US subscription rollout and request-based API access.
ByteDance Seed has introduced Seedance 2.5 with 30-second audio-video generation, larger reference sets and more precise editing controls. The release aims to make longer, consistent sequences easier to direct, although API access through BytePlus ModelArk is still listed as coming soon.
