Vortex Next Gen Trends

We are COOKED! gpt-image-1.5 vs gpt-image-2 it's so over! OpenAI shipped again! 👇👇👇 Try all best models in VORTEX AI platform https://vortex.channel/create.php

GPT-Image-2 Three new models appeared in the arena and then disappeared: maskingtape, packingtape, gaffertape. Most likely, this is a new version of OpenAI’s image generator. The models are extremely strong in world knowledge (just look at the anatomy) and also incredibly good at rendering very fine text (YouTube screenshots and code were generated). It looks like a breakthrough for illustrative graphics. Importantly, under the hood it’s not the old 4o, but one of the new models. I wonder which one it is?

Everyone should check out this AI tool I’ve been playing with lately: Kubee. It’s a “no-code game creation” platform where you can simply describe your idea in text and instantly generate a playable game or demo—like card games, runners, visual novels, and more. No coding, no complex setup—it’s basically “if you can imagine it, you can build it.” I gave it a try myself, and it’s surprisingly fast. You can even play the results مباشرة in your browser—no downloads needed. It’s currently in beta, and they’re offering free tokens, so you can try it at no cost 👇 👉 https://kubee.ai/ I’ve got 100 invite codes that let you skip the waitlist. Get them here https://bit.ly/4dWuGig If you come up with any fun ideas, try building them and share them in the group—I’d love to see what you create!

Wan 2.7 Image They promised to drop Wan 2.7 Video in March, but instead released it in April—and only the Image model. Four models: • Wan 2.7 Text-to-Image • Wan 2.7 Image Edit • Wan 2.7 Text-to-Image Pro — 4K — more expensive • Wan 2.7 Image Edit Pro — 4K — more expensive Up to 9 reference images supported as input. Improvements include better faces, HEX color codes, small text rendering, and up to 12 consistent images from a single prompt. Let’s jump in and test: https://create.wan.video/generate/image/generate?model=wan2.7-pro https://wavespeed.ai/collections/wan-2.7 https://modelstudio.console.alibabacloud.com/ap-southeast-1?tab=api#/api/?type=model&url=3026980

Veo 3.1 Lite Twice as cheap as Veo 3.1 Fast while maintaining the same processing speed. If you look at the API pricing: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/ai/veo-3-1-lite/ It’s already getting closer to Chinese competitors. However, the video length (4, 6, 8 seconds) falls short compared to Seedance with its 15 seconds. There is Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video in 720p or 1080p. Available not only in the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, but also in Flow. Each generation costs 10 credits. As for quality — it needs to be tested. Prices for Veo 3.1 Fast will also be reduced on April 7.

Most people use AI to make things look cool. Nice renders, catchy product descriptions, maybe a trend guess or two. But the moment you try turning that idea into a real physical product, everything breaks. That’s where Accio 2.0 comes in. It helps close the gap between a fun prompt and something a factory can actually produce, with trend analysis, production-ready tech packs, bill of materials, dimensional drawings, sourcing, and factory-grade RFQs all in one workflow. In this video, I walk through a real example, a Coffee Capsule Gashapon Machine, to show how Accio 2.0 takes an idea from concept to prototype-ready. Instead of bouncing between ten tabs and guessing your way through product development, you get one system built for people who actually want to manufacture. If you want to move from I have an idea to I have a product in production, this is worth checking out.

🚨 BREAKING: Disney’s $1B OpenAI deal DEAD after Sora shutdown OpenAI will discontinue public access to Sora and will not support video features in ChatGPT, opting to wind down products that use its video models

Seedance 2.0: now officially for the chosen few. Dreamina and CapCut tweeted that they’re rolling out Seedance for a rather exotic list of countries (see image). It’s encouraging to see the note “list expanding.” The question is, in which direction…

Magnific Precision is a new video upscaler. On Freepik, in the Video Upscale section, they’ve released a new model — Precision. While the previous model, Magnific Creative Video, was more geared toward NPR content (anime, 3D, cartoons, stop motion), Precision is positioned specifically as an upscaler for photorealistic footage (and all your generations from Siden and Kling). You simply upload a video, set the resolution, and adjust a single parameter — Strength, which controls how much detail is added. Notable details: • Maximum of 7200 frames and 600MB • Up to 5 minutes at 24 fps • Supports 4K • Generates a half-second preview before processing the full video (convenient) There’s a suspicion it might struggle a bit with highly detailed or noisy textures. Let’s try it out. https://www.freepik.com/ai/video-upscaler

Midjourney V8 The V8 alpha has been released. In short, it’s undertrained, still struggles with fingers, there’s no editing yet, and the video model has been postponed (according to the developers). I was going to write about the new features and how Midjourney is falling behind, but I found a great tweet that sums it up perfectly and matches my thoughts. 🎨 Midjourney launched the V8 alpha on March 17, 2026. http://alpha.midjourney.com is positioned as the fastest model yet, with better prompt understanding, improved text rendering, support for moodboards, sref, multiple aspect ratios, native HD 2K output, and image generation about 4–5x faster than previous versions. 🤖 The problem is that, based on my tests, these promises don’t hold up. Incorrect hands, distorted proportions, weak anatomy, and overall quality that often feels worse than V7. What stands out most is that in a rapidly evolving AI image market, releasing such a raw alpha risks looking more like a response to competition than real progress.

ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has postponed the global launch of Seedance 2.0. The reason is copyright claims from major Hollywood studios and streaming platforms. Reuters, citing The Information, reports that the launch—originally planned for the end of March—has been put on hold, while the company has not yet publicly provided a detailed confirmation of these reports. https://www.reuters.com/technology/bytedance-suspends-launch-video-ai-model-after-copyright-disputes-information-2026-03-14/

Hitem 3D has been updated to version V2. This portrait generation from Nanabanana into 3D already looks quite appealing. See the second video. One of the new features is Photo to STL for printing models on a 3D printer — it’s essentially a packaged pipeline that combines generation and export to STL. It’s probably the most highly detailed 3D generator right now. It can create models with up to 2,000,000 polygons. https://www.hitem3d.ai/

In Grok you can now add up to 7 references. All of them appear in the video with normal consistency.

The new Rotate Object feature in the latest Photoshop beta. It looks good — considering the input is just a flat image. Then you can move on to lighting using Harmonize.

Runway Characters Unlike HeyGen and Hedra, this is actually real-time — you can have a conversation with them live (check out the examples). And this is the first example of this level of quality in real time. It’s also a very direct response to a huge market demand: give our chatbots a face — we want someone visible talking to the customer. It’s clear why it’s API-only — everything runs on their servers, and I’m guessing the price will be huge. But the quality for real-time is 🔥.
