Description from the channel

Meta just shipped Muse Image — a FREE "thinking" AI image model live now at meta.ai — and announced Muse Video, the first Meta video model that will actually release. Spoiler: the Banana survives (GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 still hold the top spots), but Meta's model is free, real, and closer than expected. Plus: I built you a free AI video tool — precise pose + depth motion control for video-to-video in Seedance, Runway, and anywhere that takes a video reference. Download below. Source code included. ▶ Try Google Omni + the new AI Apps over on Artlist, who were kind enough to sponsor today's video: https://artlist.io/?artlist_aid=TheoreticallyMedia_4024&utm_source=a%5B%E2%80%A6%5Dum%3DTheoreticallyMedia_4024&utm_campaign=TheoreticallyMedia_4024 ▶ THE FREE POSE + DEPTH TOOL (put $0 in the box — it's yours): [https://theoreticallymedia.gumroad.com/l/zobqss ▶ Meta Muse: https://meta.ai/ In this one, I run Meta Muse Image through the full test gauntlet — prompt adherence, text rendering, image editing, and the visible thinking mode (including watching it talk itself out of a correct answer) — plus the Elder Scrolls 6 imagination test, then stack it against GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 to see where it really ranks. We also break down the first Muse Video samples, ByteDance's surprise Seedream 5.0 Pro drop, and how the free tool turns any footage into an OpenPose skeleton + depth map (Video Depth Anything) that gives you real motion control over your AI video generations — multi-character tracking, in/out points, and the hardest video-to-video test I've ever run on the channel.
