Two NEW Mystery AI Video Models & A FREE Cinematic Library!
Two mystery AI video models — codenamed "Polaris" and "Vega" — just started showing up in blind testing on the Artificial Analysis arena, and nobody has confirmed who made them. There's no official attribution yet, but between the timing and the quality, I'd be surprised if at least one of these isn't Meta's long-promised video model. Could be Kling 4? Could be a dark horse? In this one I break down every output we've got — multi-shot character consistency, physics, on-screen text, native audio, and one extremely uncensored baby Batman — and tell you which of the two I'd take head-to-head. Plus: StillsLab, a free shot-reference library built for exactly the way AI filmmakers work — color palettes with hex codes, camera and lens data on every still, and a visual search I haven't seen anywhere else: feed it your AI generations and it finds real film shots in the same visual family. ▶ Polaris/Vega spotted by Brent Lynch — original post: https://x.com/BrentLynch/status/2089326745229124014 ▶ STILLSLAB (free — bookmark it): https://stillslab.com ▶ FLORA — the canvas from the workflow demo https://refer.flora.ai/theoretically-media ▶ Muse Image First Look: https://youtu.be/epJiVrv4KVQ CHAPTERS 00:00 Two Mystery Video Models Appear 00:25 Meta Is Back on the Menu (Maybe) 01:10 Enter "Polaris" & "Vega" 01:35 Polaris: The Sweaty Pilot 02:35 Polaris: A Good Boy vs. Physics 03:18 Polaris: The Banner Test 04:01 A "Dirty" Model (Baby Batman) 04:42 Polaris: Rock Climber 05:27 Vega: Hall of Mirrors 05:57 Vega Speaks Italian 06:48 Vega's Text Problem 07:19 Pilot vs. Pilot: Polaris or Vega? 07:49 So Who Made These? 08:07 StillsLab: Bookmark This 08:36 Hex Codes, Lenses & Cameras 09:02 The Workflow: Screenshot → Flora → Prompt 10:24 Color-Match Anything 10:42 The Hidden Superpower: Visual Search 11:22 Visual Search, Round 2: Pirate Punk 12:22 Pricing: Free (Really) 12:49 Coming Up: Open Source Catch-Up MORE THEORETICALLY MEDIA Newsletter: https://theoreticallymedia.com/newsletter/ Business Inquiries: tim@smoothmedia.co #AIVideo #Meta #AIFilmmaking
