According to Yoav HaCohen on Twitter, the release of LTX-2 as an open-source foundation model for joint audiovisual generation marks a major shift in the AI video and audio sector. Previously, closed models dominated with subscription-based access and limited transparency, but LTX-2 now allows users free access to generate synchronized audio and video from text prompts. This innovation reduces reliance on 'black box' proprietary solutions and lowers barriers for developers and businesses seeking to build AI-powered media tools, presenting new market opportunities for startups and enterprises to create advanced, customizable AI video products without costly licensing fees (source: Yoav HaCohen, X.com, Jan 6, 2026).

According to @AIatMeta, Meta FAIR has introduced Seamless Interaction, a research initiative focused on modeling interpersonal dynamics using advanced audiovisual behavioral models. Developed with Meta’s Codec Avatars lab and Core AI lab, these models aim to enhance the realism of virtual avatars by capturing nuanced human behaviors in real-time. The project leverages cutting-edge AI to enable lifelike expressions and gestures, presenting significant business opportunities in virtual collaboration platforms, telepresence, and immersive digital experiences. By improving avatar realism, Seamless Interaction addresses growing demand for authentic engagement in AI-powered communication tools, with broad implications for enterprise remote work, online education, and the metaverse economy (Source: @AIatMeta, June 27, 2025).
