Agent improvements

The platform assistant has ben significantly improved, and is capable of creating complex workflows with one prompt:

Video Generation

New backends & models

• Runway Gen 4.5 added to the Simple Text + Image → Video node (5/10 second durations, 720p, text-to-video and image-to-video with seed support).

• Kling Video 3.0 Pro added to the Simple Text + Image → Video node (3–15 seconds, image-to-video with optional end frame and audio toggle).

• Sora 2 / Sora 2 Pro added to the Text + Image → Video node alongside Veo and Grok.

• Grok Imagine video generation and editing support expanded across video nodes.

New video capabilities

• Video Extend node: extend existing videos using Veo, Grok, or Pixverse backends.

• Video Edit node: edit videos with Grok Imagine or Kling-based motion paths.

• End Image input added to Seedance and Kling backends for image-to-video, enabling start-to-end frame control.

• Seedance resolution options expanded to 480p / 720p / 1080p.

Dynamic pricing for video

• Video nodes (Simple Text + Image → Video, Text + Image → Video, Video Extend, Video Edit) now use dynamic pricing — cost is calculated per run based on actual backend, duration, and resolution instead of a flat credit price.

• The node header in the graph shows "dynamic (N credits hold)" so you know the maximum reserved before a run, and "last run: X" after completion.

3D Generation

New backends & models

• Tripo P1 and Tripo P1 Multiview added as new Image → 3D backends with dedicated pricing tiers.

Upgrades & fixes

• 404-GEN now always uses 2048 texture resolution (Standard quality override removed).

• Hitem3D pricing tiers refined (default, pro, portrait).

• Image → 3D (With Fallback) node switched to dynamic pricing (100 credits hold).

Background Removal

• Pixelcut added as the new default Remove Background backend.

Graph Editor & Node UX

Seed & cache behavior

• Nodes with a randomizing seed (seed = -1 / "Randomize") are now always treated as cache-disabled — the Run button stays active and a fresh random seed is generated each execution. Applies to both seed and texture_seed fields.

Creation menu

• Node groups where all children are access-restricted (e.g. behind a role gate) now appear visually dimmed in the creation menu, while remaining navigable so users can see what's available.

PDF viewer

• PDF preview in the file viewer now scales to 80% of viewport (80vw × 80vh) with proper max constraints, replacing the previous awkward sizing.

Dynamic pricing display

• Nodes with dynamic pricing show the credit hold amount and last run cost directly on the node in the graph.

• Balance check uses the hold value for dynamic nodes to determine if a run is affordable.

Help & Contact

• Help button in the user menu now links to the external documentation site (docs.atlas.design).

• Contact Us option added to the user menu (opens email to [e-mail]).
