Eclipsa Video: HDR That Looks Right on Every Screen

Google introduces Eclipsa Video, a new HDR format designed to deliver consistent and accurate high-dynamic-range video playback across different devices and screen types. The technology aims to solve common HDR issues like inconsistent brightness and color reproduction, ensuring content looks correct whether viewed on a phone, tablet, or TV.

- HDR (High Dynamic Range) video preserves more detail in bright and dark areas than standard video — but it's been plagued by compatibility problems. Different devices (phones, TVs, laptops) handle HDR differently, often washing out colors or crushing shadows when content is played on the wrong screen.<br>- Google's **Eclipsa Video** is a new compression and color-management system designed to make HDR video look correct on *any* display, regardless of its HDR capabilities. It adapts the video's brightness and color range to match the screen it's being played on, in real time.<br>- This matters because most HDR content today (from streaming services to phone-recorded video) either looks wrong on non-HDR screens or requires the user to manually switch modes. Eclipsa aims to make HDR "just work" everywhere — particularly important as Android powers a huge range of display qualities.<br>- The project is Google's answer to competing HDR standards like Dolby Vision and HDR10+, focusing on open-source, royalty-free, and device-agnostic delivery. If adopted widely, it could simplify video workflows for creators and eliminate the "why does this look dim on my phone?" problem for viewers.

The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.

Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.

Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
