With 6.5 million users generating over 52 million videos and images, Haiper has helped ignite a creative revolution. The company’s Spotlight community has become a destination for content innovation, featuring thousands of daily user-submitted, full-length videos.
Empowering Creators and Businesses Alike
Haiper isn’t just cutting-edge AI—it’s a platform for everyone. The growing Video Templates library inspires those who have never used a camera, while Haiper's advanced features offer expert Creatives the fine-tuned control they crave. Features like Keyframe Conditioning Timeline enable granular precision over every video frame.
Businesses are leveraging Haiper's 2.5 model via API, integrating generative AI video into workflows for educational tutorials, marketing advertising, and music videos. Companies from the global Fortune 100 to Shopify merchants have used Haiper to generate AI storyboards, polished product videos, and marketing advertisements.
"2024 has proven AI isn't just a fad," said CEO and co-founder, Yishu Miao. "Millions of people are using Haiper for multiple use cases, from fun social media videos to stunning marketing content.
Groundbreaking AI at Lean Efficiency
Haiper developed proprietary infrastructure to scale its vision foundation models. The team reveals their astonishingly lean operations: models trained with up to 30B+ parameters, despite using only 256 H100 GPUs. Its uniquely designed Latent Cascade Flow Matching and Mixture of Experts (MoE) cut training time by 40% compared to conventional Diffusion Transformer (DiT)-based video generation models. These innovations power Haiper's state-of-the-art video quality, continuously pushing the boundaries of AI video generation.

Haiper's world-class Machine Learning engineers have partnered with the brightest minds at Cambridge University and the University of British Columbia on breakthroughs in novel view synthesis, scene rendering, and spatial consistency.
Real-World Enterprise Impact
Building upon a solid technological foundation, Haiper has forged enterprise partnerships with the London Fashion Innovation Agency (FIA) and JD.com to bring real-world solutions to the fashion and e-commerce industries. Haiper is helping transform every stage of the retail lifecycle with AI, from Sketch2Video tools to dynamic video advertisements.
Haiper has teamed up with AI powerhouses and newcomers alike to make its powerful 2.5 model available to all. On VEED.io, the largest AI editing software, Haiper is the exclusive generative video model of choice. On Civitai.ai, a community of 6 million Creators, Haiper was the first video model available on its platform. Haiper also expanded its AI video model to the broader ecosystem, partnering with Civitai and W2AGI for video competitions in November, when thousands of participants created and submitted their stunning videos.
"We are deeply humbled that the AI community has chosen to build on Haiper and share their unique creations with us," said Stacie Chan, VP of Business & Partnerships. "We plan to continue building inclusive technology that empowers individuals to expand their imagination, and enables businesses to explore creative, revenue-generating content."
Growing with Purpose
With its lean operations, Haiper has already amassed gross revenue that covers its inference costs. “We've far exceeded industry timelines, so now we're in pure growth mode: focusing on strengthening our model and growing our product,” said Miao.
Proudly based in London, Haiper was accepted to prestigious programs like UK TechNation’s Future 50 cohort, the Mayor of London's Grow London Global cohort, and Microsoft’s UK GenAI Accelerator.
About Haiper.ai
Haiper was founded in late 2021 by Dr Yishu Miao (CEO) and Dr Ziyu Wang (CTO), both with PhDs in Machine Learning from Oxford University and former Researchers at Google’s DeepMind. The company’s co-founders have experience working alongside AI pioneers, including Geoffrey Hinton, Nando de Freitas, and Phil Blunsom.

Wellness Extract Drives Innovation at OAND Conference 2024
The OAND Conference brought together over 500 attendees, including naturopathic doctors, healthcare professionals, and industry leaders. Various thought-provoking lectures by industry experts were held, featuring sessions on problems like PCOS, Mitochondrial dysfunction in Chronic diseases, fatty liver, Uterine inflammation, and immunological disorders. The sessions focused on going beyond supplements and were designed to equip practitioners with the latest insights and practical knowledge.
At the tradeshow, the Wellness Extract team engaged with over 200 naturopaths, doctors, and healthcare practitioners, discussing vital trends and developments in the healthcare industry. Central to these discussions was the need for enhanced patient education and the potential for how collaboration between Wellness Extract and healthcare professionals could address knowledge gaps in the field.
On the occasion, the founder and director of Wellness Extract, Mr. Virender Dass, spoke about Wellness Extract’s vision to bridge the gap between premium healthcare and individuals. While reflecting on the mission of the brand, Mr. Dass stated, “At Wellness Extract, we believe in partnering with healthcare professionals to make quality wellness accessible, empowering people to lead healthier and happier lives.”
According to Mr. Dass, this year’s theme for OANDCon24 aligns perfectly with Wellness Extract’s mission to balance naturopathy wisdom with their cutting-edge health and wellness solutions.
In addition to participating in conference discussions, Wellness Extract introduced several initiatives. One of the key announcements was the launch of the Ambassador Program, which aims to empower health practitioners and foster a community dedicated to advancing naturopathic medicine. Under this program, the practitioners will be offered opportunities to build their author profiles, publish scientific articles, and become part of Wellness Extract’s expert panel. The initiative intends to help practitioners advance their professional brands while also promoting the growth of naturopathic medicine.
Another significant announcement by Wellness Extract was the introduction of their Practitioner Program, offering healthcare providers and practitioners access to special pricing, priority shipping, and early access to new products and educational resources.
The key highlight at the event was the support for the SOS Campaign led by the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA). The initiative advocates for the future of Natural Health Products (NHPs) in Canada, addressing concerns about the over-regulation of NHPs by Health Canada, which will lead to rising costs and restricted access to essential natural health products. During the tradeshow, considerable sign-ups for the SOS Petition were gathered to support continued access to vital natural health products by the Canadians.
Throughout the tradeshow, Wellness Extract showcased several of its health products, including Eannatto Vitamin E Tocotrienols, Cell Dtox, and Bovine Colostrum. Attendees were offered product samples featuring a spoonful of vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt combined with Bovine Colostrum powder. The product sampling received notable interest, highlighting the potential market demand for such versatile wellness solutions. Other natural health supplements such as Eannatto 150+, Astaxanthin-GG, and Molecular Hydrogen Tablets, also received considerable attention from attendees and healthcare professionals present at the event.

New Survey from Clue Highlights Critical Need for Early Menstrual Education
- Most people experience their first period between ages 11-14, with 52% starting between ages 11-12 and 32% between ages 13-14
- Mothers remain the primary source of menstrual education (71%), followed by school (52%) and peers (39%). Dads as main sources were only at 1.8%
- Digital resources play an increasing role, with 21% turning to online searches and 11% to social media for information
- Healthcare providers are surprisingly underutilized, with only 4% citing them as a primary source of period education
- People with Gen X mothers (born 1965-1980) reported the highest comfort levels discussing periods with their mothers
- 55% of those with Gen X mothers (born 1965-1980) reported positive influences on their period perception, compared to 42% with Boomer mothers (born 1946-1964)
- Similar positive trends continue for those with Millennial mothers (born 1981-1996), with 53% reporting positive influences
- Start early and keep the conversation ongoing. Clue recommends starting the conversation well before puberty starts, which can be as early as 8-10 years old.
- Make it an ongoing, open dialogue rather than a single “big talk”. Parents and caregivers should emphasize that periods are a sign of a healthy body, not something to hide.
- Go through Clue’s Puberty 101: The Clue guide to getting your period together. It might feel awkward at first, but we can normalize periods by speaking about them matter-of-factly, like any other bodily function.
- Get personal and talk about what it was like to get your first period, what products you used when you first started your period, and how you learned about the menstrual cycle.
- Involve the whole family. Dads and brothers can be part of the conversation as well. This can go a long way toward helping to foster understanding and empathy around periods.
- Discuss symptoms beyond bleeding (cramps, mood changes, fatigue, breast tenderness, etc.). Explain what's typical and when it’s time to seek medical advice.
- Go to the store together to create ‘period kits’ with a variety of products that can be kept at home, at school or in the car.
- Be patient and maintain an open-door policy for questions. Every child is different and may need different approaches, so remember to focus on building confidence and body literacy.
Clue is the top women-led menstrual and reproductive health app, loved by over 10 million users around the world. With a science-driven approach, Clue enables members to create a powerful personal health record that uses each cycle as a tool to uncover insight into their overall health.

Kattly study finds cats are more popular than dogs in Europe
The analysis shows that cats are generally more popular than dogs in Europe. On average, 27% of households own at least one cat, compared to 25% that have at least one dog. However, the variations between countries are significant, with some nations showing a clear preference for one pet over the other.
The analysis identifies Romania as the country in Europe with the highest proportion of cat owners. An impressive 48% of Romanian households have at least one cat, making it the most cat-loving nation in Europe. Poland ranks second with 41%, followed by Latvia in third place with 37%. This highlights a strong tradition of cat ownership, particularly in Eastern Europe. Conversely, Greece has the lowest percentage of cat owners, with only 13% of households owning a cat, followed by Türkiye at 14%.
When it comes to dogs, Hungary tops the list, with 50% of households owning at least one dog. Poland follows closely with 49%, trailed by Romania (45%) and the Czech Republic (42%). These countries show a clear dedication to dogs as family members.
Romania and Poland stand out as Europe’s most pet-loving nations, excelling in both cat and dog ownership. Romania leads for cats and takes third place for dogs, while Poland secures second place for both types of pets.
At the other end of the spectrum, Türkiye has the lowest rate of dog ownership, with only 5% of households owning a dog. Coupled with its low percentage of cat owners, Türkiye emerges as Europe’s least pet-loving country. Switzerland also has a low rate of dog ownership, with only 12% of households owning at least one dog, placing it second to last on that list.
Some countries display notable differences between the number of cats and dogs. In Switzerland and Türkiye, cats are over three times more common than dogs. In contrast, Croatia and Slovakia show a strong preference for dogs, with 69% and 68% more dogs than cats, respectively.
Despite their geographic proximity, Belgium and the Netherlands demonstrate striking differences in pet ownership. In Belgium, 33% of households own a cat, and 30% own a dog. In the Netherlands, these figures are much lower: 23% for cats and 18% for dogs. This suggests a stronger pet culture in Belgium compared to its Dutch neighbour.
Among households that own pets, it is generally more common to have more cats than dogs. In total, there are over 129 million cats in Europe, compared to approximately 106 million dogs. These numbers are spread across 27% of households for cats and 25% for dogs. Countries like Italy, Slovenia, and Finland stand out with notably high numbers of cats per household. In Italy, for instance, there are 10.2 million cats and 8.8 million dogs, even though only 22% of households own a cat compared to 28% that own a dog.
The data on cat and dog ownership in European countries pertains to 2022 and was published in a report by the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF) in 2024. The analysis is presented on Kattly here.
Kattly, created by cat lovers for cat lovers, is the leading Swedish resource for cat enthusiasts. Born out of our founders Andrew de Lisle, Joakim Flisberg, and Weronica Bartoszek's shared passion for cats, Kattly gathers thorough and accessible resources about cats—from breeds and behaviour to products and health—to provide cat lovers with comprehensive information in one place. Currently live in Sweden, Kattly will be launched in more countries throughout Europe in 2025. For more information, visit https://kattly.se.

Neir’s Tavern and LIJ Forest Hills Hospital Partner to Launch “Flu Shot to Give Back”
Historic Neir’s Tavern, NYC’s oldest continuously operating tavern, is teaming up with the award-winning LIJ Forest Hills Hospital to host a free flu shot pop-up event on Wednesday, November 20 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. This event not only prioritizes public health but also supports local food relief efforts during the holiday season.
The first 30 participants to register received $5 off their tab, and Neir’s Tavern will donate $2 per participant to Queens Together, a local organization dedicated to food relief efforts.
Flu season can be severe, with the CDC reporting 2023–24 influenza season in the U.S. resulted in an estimated 15 million medical visits, 380,000 hospitalizations, and 17,000 deaths. This initiative emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated ahead of the holiday gatherings.
“As the holidays are fast approaching and more people gather, this partnership with LIJ Forest Hills Hospital is critical in offering opportunities to the community to guard against the inevitable uptick in infections during the holiday season,” said Loycent Gordon, owner and CEO of Neir’s Tavern.
"At Long Island Jewish Forest Hills, we're thrilled to team up with historic Neir’s Tavern to bring flu shots right to the heart of our community. It’s all about making healthcare accessible in places that feel like home, and there’s no better spot than Neir’s to bring people together for a healthier season," said Stancy Saji, Program Manager at LIJ Forest Hills Hospital.
Expanding the Partnership Beyond Flu Season
In January, Neir’s Tavern plans to launch a food and non-alcoholic cocktail and beer program for residents participating in Dry January and seeking healthier dining options in the new year. This program reflects the tavern’s ongoing commitment to creating meaningful partnerships that benefit the community.
About Neir’s Tavern
Founded in 1829, Neir’s Tavern is NYC’s oldest continuously operating tavern, known for its nostalgic dining ambiance and role in iconic films, American history, and community-driven programs. It offers award-winning burgers, classic cocktails in a welcoming atmosphere as it marches toward its 200th anniversary in 2029. For more information, visit https://neirstavern.com.

3i S10 Ultra Robot Vacuum Debuts in the U.S.: Redefining Smart Cleaning with Breakthrough Technology
Leading smart home technology company 3i is making its debut in the U.S. market with the launch of the 3i S10 Ultra, an advanced robot vacuum designed to transform home cleaning. Officially launch on Amazon this November, the S10 Ultra introduces breakthrough features like the WaterRecycle™ System, UltraReach™ Roller Mop, and AI-powered DirtScan™ technology. As 3i expands into the American market, the S10 Ultra aims to set a new standard for smart cleaning by offering unparalleled convenience, efficiency, and innovation.
The 3i S10 Ultra goes beyond simply automating cleaning tasks—it redefines them. With cutting-edge technology and intelligent design, it delivers a level of performance so seamless and efficient, it feels as though it’s running itself. This is more than a robot vacuum; it’s a game-changing innovation that transforms the way you approach home care.
The Core of 3i S10 Ultra: Technology Meets Convenience
Smart cleaning devices should save you time and eliminate hassle, not add to it. The S10 Ultra is designed around this very principle. Here are the core features that set it apart:
-
WaterRecycle™ System—Redefining Hands-Free Cleaning: The patented WaterRecycle™ System in the S10 Ultra represents a groundbreaking advancement in smart cleaning technology. Designed to address user frustrations with frequent water changes and complicated installations, this innovative system ensures continuous cleaning without interruptions. Using sub-boiling distillation, the system separates wastewater into wet and dry components through precise heating. As moisture evaporates, solid waste is collected in a dust bag for easy disposal, while the condensed moisture is transformed into purified water for reuse. This eliminates the need for drainage or manual water replacement, offering unparalleled convenience and flexibility in placement anywhere in the home. With the S10 Ultra, 3i becomes the first in the industry to integrate such cutting-edge technology into home cleaning solutions.
-
UltraReach™ Roller Mop—Precision Cleaning for Complex Spaces: The UltraReach™ Roller Mop is engineered to excel in areas where traditional robot vacuums fall short. With its precision design, it effortlessly reaches baseboards, corners, and spaces under furniture, ensuring thorough cleaning even in the most hard-to-access areas. Its adaptability across multiple surfaces—including hardwood, tile, and other flooring types—delivers consistent and professional results throughout the home. The advanced self-cleaning system features 12 precision spray holes that ensure optimal water flow and reach, while an integrated scraper keeps the roller mop spotless and free of residue.
- DirtScan™ Technology—Intelligent Cleaning with Purpose: The DirtScan™ Technology leverages advanced AI to elevate the efficiency and precision of the cleaning process. By mapping and analyzing high-traffic and heavily soiled areas, DirtScan™ ensures the S10 Ultra focuses its efforts where they are needed most. This targeted cleaning approach eliminates inefficiencies, maximizing cleaning effectiveness while minimizing operational time.
Real-Life Impact: The S10 Ultra for Every Lifestyle
- Busy Families: Between work, school, and family activities, cleaning can feel impossible to keep up with. The S10 Ultra’s WaterRecycle™ System and UltraReach™ Roller Mop keep floors clean with almost zero supervision. Set it, let it run, and come home to a spotless floor—even after a hectic day.
- Tech Enthusiasts: If you love integrating high-tech solutions into your home, the S10 Ultra’s AI-powered features, like DirtScan™ and real-time monitoring, bring next-level functionality. It’s not just a robot; it’s a connected, responsive cleaning companion that adapts to your needs.
