AI image and video startup Higgsfield raised a $400 million Series B, quadrupling its valuation to $5.4 billion in just eight months. The company, founded by former Snap executive Alex Mashrabov, lets users generate AI images and videos.

**Why it matters:** The pace of Higgsfield's valuation growth points to intense investor appetite for AI video generation specifically, a category that struggled after Sora's rocky debut but appears to be finding real commercial traction with studios and creators.

**Topics:** products, business
