Episode Details

BAFTA dropping its AI disqualification rule for 2027 feels less like an embrace of synthetic media and more like a surrender to inevitability. Autodesk quietly integrated editable Gaussian Splats into 3ds Max while ByteDance shipped Seed Audio 1.0 for full-scene generation. Meanwhile, AMD poured $5 billion into Anthropic for MI450 GPUs even as Luma migrated production inference to the cheaper MI325X hardware. The day ended with the U.S. accusing Moonshot AI of stealing Anthropic’s Fable model and Hugging Face deploying Zhipu GLM 5.2 to investigate an OpenAI breach.
