44 of 150 tracked AI shorts · 37 channels · snapshot October 2026
AI short films published in the last 90 days
Every other list on this site is ranked by how fast a short travelled. This one is sorted by the calendar instead: the newest AI shorts in the dataset, newest first, which is the order to read them in if you are looking for where the format is right now rather than where it peaked last year.
How this slice was cut
Published within 90 days of the data snapshot below. The snapshot is the cut-off, not today's date, so a short that appeared after the last capture is not here yet.
Slice: 44 of the 150 tracked AI shorts — a corpus defined as titles that declare AI-generated visuals, runtime under 30 minutes. Newest is not best. A short published three weeks ago has had three weeks to accumulate views and will look slower than one published four months ago on every rate column on this page — that gap is age, not quality.
No frame is inspected anywhere in this dataset. The index holds 4 slices, which are the ones clearing a floor of 12 rows — anything thinner is not built at all (this one covers the 90 days before the snapshot). Titles that talk about AI rather than being made with it — tutorials, reviews, tool launches — are out of the corpus entirely and carry their own marker.
Ranked by view velocity
Sorted by publish date, newest first — the calendar is the point of this slice, so the score column is there to read, not to reorder by. Every row opens the short on YouTube; the channel name goes to its page on this site. Rates are lifetime averages from a single capture, so a newer short always looks slower than an older one at the same quality.
All 44 rows of this slice are listed above. The parent board ranks the fastest 30 of the 150 tracked shorts instead — a different question (which shorts travel fastest overall), not a longer version of this list.

Method, limits and the snapshot date are documented on the AI movies page; short films that talk about AI rather than being made with it carry the Talking about AI, not an AI-made film marker instead. Page rebuilt 2026-10-11.
