Segmind Release Notes (June 8–14, 2026)

1. New Models — Grok Imagine and Bria Video Background Removal 3.0

What's new: Grok Imagine is now available as a text-to-image model on the API at POST /v1/grok-imagine-image. We also added Bria Video Background Removal 3.0 (bria-video-background-removal-3.0), which removes the background from a video and returns alpha-channel (transparent) output, with an option to preserve the original audio.
Impact: Generate images with Grok Imagine, and produce clean, background-free video with real transparency straight from the API — no extra compositing step needed before you drop the footage onto a new background.
Released: June 9–10, 2026

What's new: The PixelFlow editor on platform.segmind.com gained a full-screen Asset Library with a faceted tag editor, a quick-access Top Models flyout (Image / Video / Audio / LLM), and a per-workflow Recently Used models list. Connections between LLM and model nodes now manage their instructions automatically, creative mode shows clean parameter chips and media thumbnails instead of raw template syntax, and trackpad canvas navigation is more reliable — two-finger panning and Ctrl+scroll zoom work as expected, without accidental browser back/forward swipes.
Impact: Finding and reusing models and assets takes fewer clicks, and the canvas behaves predictably on laptops and trackpads — building and editing workflows is noticeably faster and less fiddly.
Released: June 8–13, 2026

What's new: Several improvements landed for asynchronous inference. Failed async requests now release their credit hold immediately instead of leaving credits reserved, long-running generations (over ~1 hour) are no longer at risk of running twice or being double-billed, high-volume workloads no longer hit false rate-limit (429) errors while polling for results, and credit holds left by interrupted requests now clear within about 15 minutes.
Impact: Heavy and long-running jobs are more dependable, and you're far less likely to be wrongly blocked by a temporary "insufficient credits" error caused by a stuck hold.
Released: June 9–13, 2026

What's new: API errors are now returned as structured JSON — unknown model slugs return a 404 and unexpected failures return a clean 500, instead of raw gateway errors. Calls to retired or deprecated models now fail fast with a 410 Gone and are not charged.
Impact: Errors are easier to detect and handle programmatically, and you won't be billed for requests to models that have been retired.
Released: June 9, 2026

What's new: You can now upload .m4a, .flac, .avif, and .mkv files without errors. Cloned and designed voices in Voice Studio now reliably appear in your voice list right after you create them. And veo-3.1 image-to-video again works correctly when you pass reference_images.
Impact: More file types just work on upload, your custom voices show up immediately, and reference-image-guided generation with veo-3.1 is back to working as documented.
Released: June 9–13, 2026
