Higgsfield has raised a $400 million Series B, according to TechCrunch, valuing the AI image and video startup at $5.4 billion. The company was founded by former Snap executive Alex Mashrabov and develops tools that let users generate images and videos with AI.

Why it matters: The round signals strong investor appetite for consumer-facing generative media startups, especially those showing enough momentum to command a multibillion-dollar valuation quickly. A financing of this size gives Higgsfield resources to scale model development, product distribution, and competition in the crowded AI image and video market.
