   ByteDance launched Seedance 2.5, an AI video model capable of generating videos longer than 30 seconds, set to arrive in early July.

   ByteDance introduced five new AI models at Volcano Engine's FORCE conference, with Seedance 2.5 as the centerpiece—a video generation model scheduled for early July release. Longer video generation capacity could expand possibilities for creators and businesses using AI-powered video tools, though broader competitive and market implications remain to be seen as the space develops.

   The model launches in early July; this is ByteDance's next-generation offering in a competitive AI video generation market.

   Alibaba's AI video model rises to No. 2 after OpenAI discontinues Sora and ByteDance shelves Seedance 2.0, reshaping the competitive landscape for enterprise video generation.

   Alibaba Cloud released HappyHorse 1.1, a major upgrade to its AI video generation model, now available on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio with full API access for enterprise customers and developers. The release includes a 40% sitewide launch discount for the first two weeks. This comes as OpenAI has discontinued Sora due to financial unsustainability, and ByteDance has indefinitely shelved the international rollout of Seedance 2.0 following copyright complaints from Hollywood studios. For enterprise teams using video generation tools in marketing, advertising, and content production workflows, two major competitors have withdrawn or stalled, meaning they may need to evaluate remaining options. Alibaba's timing appears strategic—the contraction in available tools creates an opening for the company's model to capture market share among businesses that were integrating or evaluating those discontinued tools.

   The 40% sitewide launch discount runs for the first two weeks. HappyHorse 1.1 is positioned as production-ready, with full API access available now for enterprise customers and developers on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio.

   AI spending momentum dominates market outlook as Micron earnings and Fed patience test key economic bets this week.

   Market strategists on CNBC argued this week that the AI capital-spending cycle still has runway, with Micron Technology's fiscal Q3 2026 earnings (due Wednesday, June 24) positioned as the most important data point on the calendar. Micron's prior quarter delivered revenue of $23.86 billion（約3.8兆円）, beating consensus by 22.28%, with management guiding next-quarter revenue to $33.5 billion（約5.4兆円） and gross margins near 81%. The stock has risen 297.5% year-to-date and now trades at a forward P/E multiple of 11x. High-bandwidth memory chips—Micron's core product—are now described as strategic assets for AI training and inference (the step where an AI produces an answer), making Micron's earnings a proxy for whether structural demand for AI infrastructure is real or speculative. Separately, investors are watching whether the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady despite core inflation running at levels described as roughly double what the Fed would prefer, and whether geopolitical risk from Iran talks will continue to be absorbed by equities without triggering sharp corrections.

   Polymarket traders are pricing a 97.35% probability of another earnings beat from Micron. The panel also flagged that Iran-related energy costs and other transitory factors are expected to fade, which could ease inflation pressure on Fed decision-making by the July meeting.
