New Video Model Just Dropped — Can It Beat Seedance?
2026.03.31Hey — it's the Carat team. 😊 PixVerse just dropped V6 and reactions are split. Claude's secret model got leaked, and we've got a prompt that turns your selfie into a tiny figurine on your palm.
🔥 New Video Model Just Dropped — Can It Beat Seedance?
The AI video space is heating up, and PixVerse just dropped V6. The big feature is multi-shot — one prompt, multiple scenes, auto-edited with consistent characters across every cut. It supports 1080p at up to 15 seconds, and the physics engine got a major upgrade. Objects collide and fall realistically now.
Reactions on X are split. Some creators say it's "a solid Seedance alternative," while others who compared V6 side by side with Seedance 2 say there's still a gap. One creator did finish a One Piece anime short in just 9 hours though.
PixVerse V5.5 is already on Carat — V6 launches on Carat today.
Multi-shot and the physics engine are V6's main weapons. But some creators still see a gap compared to Seedance 2. With strong accessibility and pricing, though, the race is far from over.
📌 Today's Top 3
1️⃣ Claude Had a Secret Model Above Opus
Anthropic accidentally exposed 3,000 internal documents through a misconfigured content system. Among them: a draft blog post for an unreleased model.
Fortune reached out and Anthropic confirmed it. "The most capable model we've ever built — a step change." Internal codename: Capybara. Model name: Mythos. A brand-new tier above Opus.
It scored significantly higher than Opus 4.6 across coding, academic reasoning, and cybersecurity. Its cyber capabilities are so far ahead that Anthropic plans to give security researchers early access first. It's also expensive to run — general release won't happen until they optimize costs.
The leak was embarrassing for Anthropic, but the model is real — Fortune got official confirmation. Once they solve the cost problem, it shouldn't be long.
2️⃣ Free AI Video Is Starting to Disappear
xAI killed the free tier for Grok Imagine. Image and video generation now requires at least SuperGrok Lite — starting at $10/month.
xAI team member Yukan said "the growing number of users" forced the switch. Free users far outnumbered paid ones, and server costs became unsustainable.
Offering AI video as a service comes with massive costs. Grok hit that wall and went paid.
3️⃣ Disney's Building Its Own AI Creative Stack
Disney is hiring an AI executive for Imagineering and negotiating AI workflow integrations with 12+ companies. After a key external AI partnership fell through, they're pivoting to building in-house.
Their planned $1B investment in OpenAI collapsed. The licensing deal for 200 Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters? Gone overnight. After watching an external partner vanish, the push to build their own AI just got a lot more urgent.
When entertainment's biggest player moves like this, it's a sign AI creative tools aren't experimental anymore — they're becoming core infrastructure.
🧪 Today's Prompt Tip
Turn Your Selfie Into a Palm-Sized Figurine
There's a trend going around on X: upload your photo and it becomes a tiny 3D figurine sitting on a real hand. Luma's official account is pushing it too. Big head proportions, puffy cheeks, and the scale contrast between a real hand and a miniature character — that's what makes it work.
Here's what we made on Carat. ⬇️
Tap the + button on the left side of the input field to attach your photo, then paste this prompt:
Transform my photo using the default image model. Create a hyper-realistic 3D mini figurine based on the person in the uploaded photo. Big head proportions with a small body, sitting on the left palm. The right index finger is pinching the character's cheek. Puffy cheeks with a shy smile and sparkling big eyes with rosy blush. Must be 3D rendered style. Absolutely no 2D illustration or anime style. Emphasize the miniature scale contrast against the realistic hand. Soft, warm lighting. Maintain my exact facial features and consistency.
-
Big head proportions: The oversized head-to-body ratio is what makes it look like a figurine.
-
3D rendered style: Without this, the model might default to 2D illustration. Always include it.
-
Scale contrast with realistic hand: A real human hand holding a tiny character — that's the whole point.
-
Maintain facial features: Tells the model to preserve your face. Skip this and you might get a stranger.
Tap + on Carat, attach a selfie, and paste the prompt. That's it.
Thanks for reading — see you tomorrow on Carat. 🤗
