A user on Bilibili uploaded a Jujutsu Kaisen animation created using Seedance at extremely low cost. I know many people on the forum have shared even more impressive AI videos, but I never imagined it could resemble the original anime so closely.
AI-generated motion and models are also maturing. Future workflows will likely involve setting up models and shots in UE5, shooting drafts as a reference for the video generation modelWith Seedance, you can skip motion capture, animators, etc. It saves the studio a lot of money. Hollywood does not care how you do it as long as the end product is good.
Can AI currently generate motion data that can be directly imported into animation software? It would be ideal if AI could directly generate motion data for Blender models, as this would significantly improve scene stability compared to AI generating videos directly.AI-generated motion and models are also maturing.

Well, the idea is that the research model may start as an LLM but will gradually discover improvements to its architecture and training processes. These specialized research models also include verifier in its architecture to mitigate the hallucination problem. It may be a long shot, but the expected value is so large that you absolutely need to try.
There are many tier 2 labs of giant Chinese companies releasing me-too MoE LLMs like JD JoyAI, Ant InclusionAI, Meituan LongCat, Zhipin Nanbeige, Xiaomi MiMo. They have shown competence, but it's rather wasteful for them to just release LLMs that doesn't do anything special. Some of them should consider going all in down the research AI route.
Tencent should also consider this. Their HY series is very behind; they should just license Kimi or stick with fine tuning DeepSeek and dump the remaining resources on AGI research.
There is valid criticism on Chinese labs focusing too much on application stuff; everyone is trying to do chatbots or agentic MoE models for coding/office work. These application LLMs are already well served; labs that are behind should find another area to focus on like doing AGI research instead of "me-too"
Tencent Hunyuan Motion 1.0 can generate some basic actions. For now, video motion capture is a more feasible approach, such as GENMO, GVHMR, Easymocap etc.Can AI now generate dynamic data that can be directly imported into animation software? It would be great if AI could directly animate my Blender models—the stability would far surpass AI generating videos directly.
Doesn't matter the ranking. People vote with their feet.In terms of math, StepFun seems to be better than Qwen. I personally don't understand why the Qwen team can't raise their game. They have one of the best funded labs in China.

Also just look at the cost differential. Embarrassing.
