Both aircrafts (assume that they are entirely separate airframes) do have their respective video. Are you referring to the one from December or the one posted today?

My bad. I'm referring to the one posted today to be an early tech demo or CCA. Amended.
Right before the video loses focus, there's a clear black outline all around the wing. Wonder what that's about. It probably is an earlier model but I'm not sure if the nozzles are actually different or just the same thing from a different aspect. Definitely something funky going on with the wingtips though.
can we get original photo without AI from the photographer?
I think no foldable tails is comfirmed.
There are clearly two flaps behind the previously suspected foldable tails part.

Hold up. There's a way bigger issue.
Where's the IWB? You've got a massive groove and intakes... What in the aircraft design?
This genuinely might be a downscaled tech demo.
I am now 80% certain that the airframe spotted in the newest video is distinct from the black one captured in the initial series of photographs.
1. The airframe in the newer photo is clearly white or gray-white, as compared to the dark gray / black airframe in the first photos.
2. The white/gray airframe does not have a "sting" between the engine nozzles whereas the black one does.
Two separated IWB?
There is clearly a rectangular lump ahead of each engine.
But I don’t understand why it is separated.
I concur that it's different, but you can indeed make out the tailsting in that.
Then your intake ducting would need to avoid that part and therefore run into the landing gear bay. No.
We genuinely should stop shooting shots in the dark until actual discernable imagery appears.
1.I don’t think color is a issue.If you compare those CAC aircraft images, some of them look dark and others look gray-white
2.Though the video provide more information, it’s still vague.I can say for sure wether there is a “sting”
