Crunchbase Data: Nvidia's Startup Funding Deals Hit A Record. What's Next After Huang?

Before it was thrust into crisis this week, Nvidia was steadily continuing its pace as one of the busiest startup investors around, including backing many of the biggest venture deals of 2026. We take a fresh look at where Nvidia and its venture arm NVentures have been investing and what the future could hold.

Back to Pixels: Lifting Latent Video Diffusion into Pixel Space

Frontier video generation models work in a VAE latent space that compresses video in both space and time. This compression made training tractable, but now limits high-resolution, controllable, and interactive generation -- doubling resolution quadruples token count, conditions apply to groups of frames rather than individual ones, and each response must wait for the rest of its multi-frame block. We present PixVid, a simple yet effective method that lifts a pretrained latent video model to directly generate every frame in pixel space. PixVid keeps the diffusion transformer and replaces the VAE decoder with a convolutional head that renders its outputs into pixels. We find that predicting clean video rather than velocity, together with a larger noise shift, is key to quality. Finetuned from Wan2.1-14B, PixVid is competitive with the latent baseline within $\sim 1.3$M training clips. Working framewise in pixels, it generates at $2\times$ higher resolution with the same per-frame token count, keeps depth-conditioned video editing aligned under fast motion, and responds to each action at the next frame.

AIGAnimation/AnimationCodec

[SIGGRAPH Asia 2026] AnimationCodec is a long-term library for general motion representation, with compression as its starting point. A codec has to separate what a motion must convey from what any body would produce anyway, with an error bound and for every skeleton.
