Segmind Release Notes (September 7–13, 2026)

1. New Models — GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst, Pruna p-video-2

• What's new: gpt-image-2.5-flare and gpt-image-2.5-sunburst are live on the platform, with per-token pricing shown on their model pages. p-video-2 from Pruna generates video from text, an image, or an audio track, and produces native audio alongside the picture rather than a silent clip. The Topaz video upscaler also stopped downscaling its own output, so an upscale now returns the resolution you asked for.
• Impact: Two more OpenAI image models to choose from, a video model that ships with sound built in, and upscales that actually come back upscaled.
• Released: September 9–10, 2026

2. Imagen Slugs Now Served by Gemini 2.5 Flash Image

• What's new: Google retired the Imagen models on Vertex AI. Every Imagen slug on Segmind keeps answering — requests are now served by gemini-2.5-flash-image behind the same slug, with the request and response contract kept field for field, so existing integrations need no code change. The person_generation=dont_allow value maps correctly on the new path instead of returning a 400. The four retired Imagen model pages now redirect to nano-banana-2.
• Impact: No broken calls and nothing to migrate — your existing Imagen requests keep working, parameters included.
• Released: September 7–8, 2026

3. Seedance Pricing Reduced

• What's new: Seedance 2.0 Mini now bills at $1.75 per million input tokens and $1.05 per million output tokens, down from $3.50 and $2.10 — a 50% cut, reflected on the model page, /pricing, and llms.txt. Seedance 2.0 Fast also had its rate reduced; see the pricing page for its current numbers. Both cuts are forward-only, so past invoices are unchanged.
• Impact: Seedance 2.0 Mini costs half what it did last week, with no change to the API or the output.
• Released: September 11–13, 2026

4. Structured Output — Parsed Results and Documented Samples

• What's new: v2 LLM calls now return parsed structured output directly, instead of handing back a string you have to parse yourself — an API contract change for callers using response_format. Every LLM model page now documents structured output, with response_format and a response example added to all 13 code samples. In Pixelflow, LLM nodes that fan out to other nodes enforce the JSON contract with response_format, so a stray preamble or an unexpected shape no longer breaks the fan-out region.
• Impact: Schema-shaped JSON arrives ready to use, copy-paste samples show exactly how to ask for it, and Pixelflow fan-outs stop failing on chatty model replies.
• Released: September 8–9, 2026

5. MCP — Landing Page and Connector Discovery

• What's new: A /mcp landing page for the hosted Segmind MCP server is live, with a copyable connector URL, setup tabs for Claude Code, ChatGPT developer mode, Codex and VS Code 1.106+, a reference for all 13 tools, and a model wall and FAQ. The authorization server now publishes RFC 8414 metadata at the location the spec requires, which is what MCP clients look for when connecting to mcp.segmind.com.
• Impact: Point an MCP-capable assistant at Segmind with a URL and a setup snippet, and clients that previously failed discovery now connect.
• Released: September 7–11, 2026

6. Pixelflow — Copy and Paste Across Workflows, Collaboration Signals, Masks

• What's new: Nodes now copy and paste between workflows with Cmd+C / Cmd+V, plus Cmd+X to cut and Cmd+D to duplicate, carrying edges, parameters, fan-out settings and {{ }} variable references intact. Team workflows show who else is editing, warn you when a teammate has saved a version newer than the one you loaded, and record who wrote last. Draw mask has its own dock control and a standalone drawable mask renders as a tile. Dragging a file from your desktop lands anywhere on the canvas, file pickers accept as many files as the field allows, and a dragged asset previews as what it actually is rather than as the node's current mode. Models marked coming soon are hidden from the pickers and blocked at execution, so a placeholder can no longer fail at Run.
• Impact: Move a working subgraph into another workflow without rebuilding it, and see a teammate's edits before you overwrite them.
• Released: September 7–11, 2026

7. Clearer Moderation Errors

• What's new: When a provider blocks a request for content reasons, the response now explains what was blocked instead of a generic "blocked by provider" line. The clearer messages cover the video models, xAI Grok, and the Wan and Qwen families, and they now survive the asynchronous worker path, so the reason reaches the caller reliably rather than only on some routes.
• Impact: When a generation is refused, you can tell why and adjust the prompt, instead of guessing.
• Released: September 7–8, 2026

8. Console — Sign-in, Mobile Navigation, and Request History

• What's new: The sign-in page at /auth/login was rebuilt with a full-bleed video background drawn from recent model examples, and trimmed from roughly 802 KB to 382 KB per load — a 52% reduction. Accepting a team invitation no longer bounces between sign-in and the accept page. On mobile, two overlapping navigation triggers were replaced by a single bottom tab bar with a More sheet. The date picker on /generations now browses one month at a time and prevents ranges longer than 30 days from being selected. In the playground, a voice id that resolves to nothing shows a neutral note rather than a warning.
• Impact: A sign-in page that loads in half the bytes, team invites that complete on the first try, and a console that is usable on a phone.
• Released: September 7–9, 2026
