Nvidia CEO Resignation Sparks Chinese AI Shares Sell-Off and Renewed US Push to Curb Exports

The sell-off spilled over to major Chinese tech giants like Alibaba and Tencent, which rely on Nvidia chips to train their AI models. This week's rout erased a combined $75 billion in market value from the two companies, with their shares dropping 14 percent and 8 percent, respectively.

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.
