[AINews] Fal’s H3 Max Live breaks the infinite videogen barrier
Fal post-trained MiniMax H3 into a 'Max' variant with 35x-faster inference, enabling faster-than-realtime AI video generation and infinite streams.
Fal post-trained MiniMax's H3 model into a 'Max' variant and optimized it for its in-house inference engine, achieving roughly 35x the speed of the official endpoint. The optimization enables faster-than-realtime video generation, demonstrated by an infinite interactive AI-generated stream productized by levels.io. The roundup also notes Meta Muse Code's general availability with an SDK, open DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp weights, GLM-5.3-Flash's strong agentic cost/performance rankings, and Tencent's 770B-parameter Hy4 Preview MoE with 49B active parameters.

Self-improving AI should slow down, von der Leyen tells EU lawmakers
EU Commission President von der Leyen urges frontier labs to slow self-improving AI, citing hacking risks, and announces Canada and UK partnerships on AI security.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen used her State of the Union address to call for slowing self-recursive frontier AI, warning that models in development will enable hacking at previously unimagined levels. She announced joint work with Canada and the UK on model evaluation, verification, early warning, and AI security, and proposed widening the CETA trade agreement into an alliance covering AI, quantum technology, and cyber and economic security. She defended the EU AI Act as central to guardrails, promised initiatives for health, transport, agrifood, manufacturing, and defense in November, and backed an EU Kids Act barring social media for children under 13.

Reducto Releases r-1: A Single Pass Document Parsing Model That Cuts Errors 20% at 1 Cent Per Page
Reducto launched r-1, a single-pass document parsing model claiming 20% error reduction over its legacy agentic pipeline, priced at 1 cent per page.
Reducto announced r-1, the first model in a new parsing family that replaces multi-stage agentic OCR with one full-page pass handling text, tables, figures, layout, formatting, and grounding with page-relative bounding boxes. The company reports a 20% error reduction measured against its own legacy agentic pipelines, plus vendor-run wins over Amazon Textract and Azure Document Intelligence on complex documents. Pricing is a flat 1 cent per page versus 3-6 cents for legacy models; r-1 is available in preview via the V3 Parse API with no open weights.
