AI That Won't Sue You
Moonvalley’s AI Video Model Avoids Copyright Headaches

Moonvalley’s new AI video generator, Marey, is making a splash—not for stealing content, but for actually respecting copyright laws.

Unlike competitors who dance on the legal line, Marey is trained on fully licensed data, offering customizable video generation without the legal landmines. It even includes ethical guardrails to prevent deepfake disasters. With the video AI space getting crowded (and messy), Marey is pitching itself as the responsible choice.

The question is, will creatives be convinced, or is this just another AI disruptor in a shiny, polite package?

Open-Source AI
Nous Research Launches API to Take on Big AI

Nous Research, the AI collective known for its open-source, 'unrestricted' models, just launched an API.

Now, developers can access high-powered models without the headache of running them locally. The catch? A waitlist system—a mix of necessity and strategy—that keeps things exclusive while managing computational resources. Nous is walking a fine line between staying true to grassroots AI ideals and actually making money.

With this move, it’s taking on OpenAI, Anthropic, and the rest of Big AI while proving that independent AI companies might just have a shot.
