#Image generation

AIEffective AI horror video prompts depend on three elements: tension built before anything appears, lighting that hides more than it reveals, and a slow reveal that rewards viewer dread. The guide recommends a five-part prompt structure covering subject/setting, lighting source, camera movement, atmosphere, and action/reveal, with subtle modifiers like "almost imperceptibly" to restrain the action. It also includes 15 example prompts for creators building faceless YouTube channels or proof-of-concept trailers.

AIGoogle has made Gemini Nano Banana 2.1, identified as gemini-nano-banana-2.1, generally available as an image generation and conversational editing model. It improves visual quality, prompt adherence, multi-turn character consistency, and text rendering, and adds panoramic aspect ratios such as 1:4, 4:1, 1:8, and 8:1 at 1K, 2K, and 4K resolutions. The gemini-3.1-flash-image model is deprecated with no shutdown date announced, and developers are told to migrate to the new model.

AIThis guide offers 15 sci-fi prompts for AI video generation across alien worlds, spacecraft, and practical effects, each built on a five-part structure of subject, sequence, setting, shot, and style. It argues that generation is only the start, with refinement, consistency, and delivery determining whether clips are usable in professional production.

AILiquidAI has released d1-omni-600M on Hugging Face, a 587M-parameter model that answers named yes/no, choice and score questions over text, images or up to 30 seconds of speech in a single forward pass. It returns typed answers with zero output tokens by reading the model's distribution over options, and is built on LFM2.5-Encoder-350M with a 16,384-token context length. The model is not a chat model and does not generate text.

AIAI image models default to attractive women because training data, averaged-face aesthetics, and user preference feedback reinforce one another. A 1973 test image from Playboy, later widely used in image processing, shows how such defaults form early. Reward models trained on user choices can increase NSFW output even when prompts are unrelated.

AINVIDIA's Bryan Catanzaro says players testing DLSS 5 show that neural rendering has redefined real-time graphics, calling it the payoff of ten years of dedicated research and development. He frames the change as "5 years of graphics progress in one toggle," linking to a video demonstration.
