Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Video for the week ending July 24, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview.
Category cover image prompt:
A giant golden chrome film reel floating in a deep purple cosmic sky, its unspooled filmstrip unfurling into a huge rainbow ribbon of saturated magenta, orange, yellow, lime, turquoise and violet frames that waves and curls across the composition like sound made visible, starbursts and glitter sparkle around it, with the single word VIDEO above in fat rounded 1970s funk bubble letters with chrome fill and stacked multicolor drop shadows arcing to a beat, lit by a glowing beam from above, 1970s psychedelic Afrofuturist concert poster style, bold graphic shapes with painterly gradients, square format, balanced composition with breathing room.
This Week in Video News
Here’s a quick AI-generated summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5, based on the headlines and excerpts accompanying this week’s links:
- FLUX 3 goes multimodal: Black Forest Labs introduced FLUX 3 as one model covering image, video, audio and action prediction, with FLUX 3 Video in early access. A related release with mimic applies the approach to robot dexterity as a video-action model.
- NVIDIA Cosmos 3 releases: NVIDIA says its 4-step Cosmos 3 Super models generate images and video up to 25x faster than the originals, and cites rankings of #1 for image-to-video and #2 for text-to-image among open-weight models. Cosmos 3 Edge is described as reasoning about the physics in video streams on edge devices.
- Video feeding robots: Several items tie video to physical machines, not just filmmaking. A Tesla app decompile reportedly shows Optimus home robots asking permission to collect video and spatial data.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
