TOP STORY
🎬 Runway announces "Real-Time Video Model"
Generating videos in real-time
Runway unveiled a real-time video generation model as a research preview, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA and shared at NVIDIA GTC.
Built to run on NVIDIA's Vera Rubin architecture, it generates HD video with a time-to-first-frame under 0.1 seconds.
With real-time generation, the design space for video models shifts entirely:
Instant HD output: HD clips are generated with no perceptible wait, enabling interactive and iterative video workflows that weren't feasible before.
New creative paradigm: Real-time generation opens use cases in gaming, live production, and VR (categories where current AI video tools are too slow to be useful).
Hardware co-design: Runway says it's actively co-designing its models alongside NVIDIA hardware advances, positioning the partnership as ongoing rather than a one-off demo.
Real-time video generation is currently a research preview. No release date or pricing has been announced.

WEB DESIGN
🎨 Google releases "Vibe Design" with Stitch
Google Labs upgraded Stitch from a text-to-UI experiment into a full AI-native design platform.
What launched at Google I/O 2025 as a prompt-to-interface tool is now a canvas-based environment for designing, prototyping, and exporting production-ready frontend code (with multimodal inputs and voice).
Stitch is free and available for users 18+ in regions where Gemini is available.
With the new Stitch, you can now:
Design from intent, not wireframes: Describe what you want users to feel, paste in a screenshot, upload a sketch, or speak your idea (the canvas interprets all of it as context).
Explore in parallel: A new Agent Manager lets you run multiple design directions at once, tracking each thread so nothing gets lost.
Collaborate via voice: A voice canvas lets you speak directly to the agent — ask for three menu variations, request a color palette swap, or get real-time critique as you work.
Export with context: A new DESIGN.md format captures your design rules and carries them across tools. Designs export to Figma or directly to developer tools like AI Studio and Antigravity via an MCP server.
Stitch is live now and free to use.

MOTION DESIGN
✍️ Jitter launches "Custom Text Effects"
Jitter launched custom text effects, a new feature that lets designers build branded text animations from scratch and save them as reusable components.
Previously, Jitter's text animation options were limited to preset effects.
With custom text effects, you can now:
Build from scratch: Design animation behavior at the character, word, or line level (timing, easing, offset, and motion path are all configurable).
Save as reusable assets: Finished effects are stored in your library and can be applied across projects, keeping motion consistent across a brand system.
Combine with existing presets: Custom effects can be layered alongside Jitter's built-in presets, giving you a starting point when you need one.
Custom text effects are available now inside Jitter.
ANIMATION
🔷 LottieFiles launches "Prompt to Vector 2.0"
This week, LottieFiles released Prompt to Vector 2.0, a major upgrade to its AI vector generation tool inside Lottie Creator.
The update adds editable outputs, scene-level generation, and reference image support (all within the same tool where you animate and export as dotLottie).
With Prompt to Vector 2.0, you can now:
Generate full scenes or isolated assets: A new Scene Mode produces complete illustrated compositions (backgrounds, characters, layered layouts) while Single Object mode generates standalone assets. Both output as editable SVG layers.
Edit after generating: Post-generation editing lets you refine and iterate on the output without re-prompting from scratch.
Match a reference image: Attach an image, and the tool generates vectors in a matching style, with colors extracted automatically.
Explore multiple directions from one prompt: Style Selection generates several visual directions from the same prompt so you can compare before committing.
Drop in references instantly: Paste with CMD+V or drag in reference images directly to the canvas.
Generated assets use a smart auto-grouped layer structure designed to be animation-ready out of the box. Prompt to Vector 2.0 is available now inside Lottie Creator.
APPS
🚫 Apple blocks updates for "vibe coding" apps
Apple blocked App Store updates for Replit and Vibecode, two popular vibe coding apps, citing violations of a long-standing App Store guideline.
The story was first reported by The Information and confirmed by multiple outlets, including MacRumors, 9to5Mac, and AppleInsider.
"Vibe coding" refers to AI-assisted app building where users describe what they want in plain language and an AI generates the underlying code.
Apple explicitly said the block is not a new policy targeted at the category (it pointed to existing App Store Guideline 2.5.2), which prohibits apps from executing code that changes their own functionality or that of other apps.
Apple has separately embraced vibe coding in Xcode, adding support for Anthropic and OpenAI coding agents in February. The crackdown targets apps that run dynamically generated code within the app itself.
What's currently known:
Updates are blocked while modifications are in progress; existing installs continue to work. Both apps are reportedly close to resolution.
Replit would comply by opening generated app previews in an external browser rather than an in-app web view.
Vibecode by removing the ability to build apps specifically for Apple devices.
Replit has felt the impact: The app dropped from 1st to 3rd in the developer tools download charts since its last update in January, which the company partly attributes to its inability to push updates.
Apple denies targeting the category: An Apple spokesperson told MacRumors the App Review Guidelines are designed to encourage innovation while preserving safety, and that no rules specifically target vibe coding apps.
