• [Sad] Zelda & Link don't want to be toys anymore / MiniMax H3 Video (r/StableDiffusion · 1078 pts · 66 comments)
  A user shares a vertical MiniMax H3 animation video featuring Zelda and Link, noting fewer people now post H3 videos. They added workflow upgrades, gaussian blur to live-action scenes, and film grain in KDEnlive to reduce the oily skin look of AI video.
• Introducing Muse Spark Open: the most capable US open-weight model to date (r/LocalLLaMA · 977 pts · 290 comments)
  Muse Spark Open is announced as the most capable US open-weight model, built for coding and agentic tasks. It has 816B total and 42B active parameters, 1M-token context, text/image/video/audio modalities, Helion kernels with reported 1.03-3.95x speedups, and runs on SGLang, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, MLX, llama.cpp, and Unsloth.
• Interpretability might have been solved by an Open AI guy: "Neural Networks Are Already Clean" (r/singularity · 680 pts · 121 comments)
  A linked article argues interpretability may be largely solved because neural networks are already clean. A commenter summarizes it as claiming about 90% of modern LLM neurons have one clear job, and that superposition was an artifact of early architectures; others caution it does not fully solve interpretability.
• FLUX 3 Image Open Weights is released (r/StableDiffusion · 544 pts · 324 comments)
  The post announces that FLUX 3 Image Open Weights has been released on Hugging Face. Commenters express mixed or negative early reactions, with one calling it trash after initial tests and another saying they misread it as Krea 3.
• GPT-6.1 Sol examined nearly 800 mathematics papers, finding major errors in 6% and minor mistakes in another 30%. Researchers estimate 90% of its major findings are correct. As AI adoption surged, the major-error rate in newer papers fell to just 1.5%. (r/singularity · 463 pts · 48 comments)
  A post reports that GPT-6.1 Sol examined nearly 800 mathematics papers, finding major errors in 6% and minor mistakes in 30%, with researchers estimating 90% of major findings correct. As AI adoption rose, the major-error rate in newer papers fell to 1.5%, and commenters discuss AI-assisted double-checking.
• nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Bolt-74B-A9B-24GB · Hugging Face (r/LocalLLaMA · 420 pts · 219 comments)
  NVIDIA releases Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB, a vision-language model for local agentic tasks that uses native 2-bit quantization to fit 24GB. It has 74B total and 9B active parameters, a Mamba-2-Transformer hybrid LatentMoE with C-RADIO v4-H encoder, 256K context, and text, image, or video input for commercial or non-commercial use.
• New TTS king in town: Fish's Drama 3 35B3A! (r/LocalLLaMA · 374 pts · 72 comments)
  The post highlights Fish's newly released Drama 3 text-to-speech model, described as a chunky 35B3A MoE that runs well on a DGX Spark. The author built a demo, says 4-bit quants get very close to the original, and links a Hugging Face Space and local download.
• I didn't do it, I did something else that might be even better (r/StableDiffusion · 316 pts · 95 comments)
  The post presents a video experiment with 19 clips chained using a normal latent chain, a Pull Forward Node, and u/xyzdist's resample method to fight degrading latents. The author hypothesizes static pixels degrade faster than moving ones and repairs static areas while avoiding motion, pointing viewers to 3:23.
