sonnet 5.5 is actually really really good

asked sonnet to make it's own intro video using @HyperFrames_ (w/ a reference video in 🧵)

it's incredible at executing and copying but wasn't able to improvise much

Make Banking Great Again

everyone's sharing motion graphic videos that Opus 5.5 made, and it's genuinely insane

everyone says they created it with "one prompt", but my one prompt video looked mid

so i went through a bunch of these videos to see how they were actually made, and found the workflow that works

here's how to generate pro level motion graphic videos w/ opus:

1. get reference videos to direct from -> https://t.co/CibWaQ6c9Q

pick 1-2 videos whose style you want and tell opus to match them. naming a style works way better than describing one

without a reference, opus falls back to its default look: centered text, gradient background, everything fading in

that's why so many of these videos look the same. a reference gives it the pacing, the type and the transitions to copy

2. install @HyperFrames_ or @Remotion so opus can build the video

both let opus write every scene as code and render it straight to mp4. no video editor

without one, opus can only describe a video or hand you a rough html page you have to screen record

with it, every frame is exact, and when you ask for a change it edits one line and re-renders instead of starting over

3. install @21st_dev for high quality components in the video

real buttons, cards and UI components made by design engineers, instead of whatever opus invents on the spot

without it, opus draws your product UI from scratch and it looks off. wrong spacing, placeholder boxes, fake-looking buttons

anyone who's used good software can feel it in a second, and the whole video reads as cheap

4. steps 1-3 were context + setup. now dump all of it into opus

your brand (logo, colors, fonts), screenshots of your real product, the reference video, and a quick braindump of how you see the video

then ask for 3 storyboard variants

without this, opus guesses your colors, your font and what your product even does. the video could be for any startup

with it, it could only be yours. and 3 variants means you pick a direction instead of fixing the first idea it had

5. pick the storyboard you like

ask for one still frame per scene before anything moves. fixing a storyboard is way cheaper than fixing a render

without this step, you only find out scene 4 is wrong after the whole thing is animated, and every fix means re-rendering. a still frame takes seconds to change

6. let claude cook

then give notes like a director: "slow every zoom to 0.7x", "hard cut here", "push in on the button"

without notes, the first render is usually 80% there, and that last 20% is what makes it look pro. vague notes like "make it better" get random changes. camera words get exactly the change you want

everyone has the same model. the context you give it is what makes it look pro

let it cooookk

One of the best bubble indicators from @pmarca -- where Harvard and Stanford MBAs go after graduation.

If they go into tech → market’s overblown.
If they go back to banking → great time to invest in startups.

Social status of MBAs is a good bubble indicator. Cool trivia!

founders and marketers: you need an optimized "about us" page on your site

i work with billion dollar tech companies and bootstrapped SaaS. The About Us is one of the first pages we optimize

here's how (8 points):

(P.S. I explain why this is important at the bottom of the post)

here's how:

1. start with a clear value prop sentence: "[COMPANY] is a [CATEGORY] that [DOES XYZ] for [ICP]."

2. add your core services under a "what [COMPANY] does" H2 subheading. Put each service/feature/product in an H3 subheading. Write 2-3 sentences about what you do, and what outcome it produces.

3. next, add a "what makes [COMPANY] different" H2 subheading. List about 5 core differentiators in H3 subheadings. Give specific, quantifiable differentiators and call out competitors by name. Example: [COMPANY] offers month-to-month payment terms, whereas options like [COMPETITOR] have mandated 12-month contracts. Again: 2-3 sentences per differentiator.

4. your next H2 should be "who uses [COMPANY]." Add bullet points that call out your exact ICP segments. Example: "B2B SaaS marketing teams at 50 to 200-employees."

5. now add a "the team behind [COMPANY]" H2 subheading. Include the names of the founders, quick backstories, company origin story, team composition, and links to social pages (especially the founder(s) socials). You only need about 2 sentences per backstory/origin story.

6. add a "how [COMPANY] works" section. Include info like communication channels, response times, who on the team customers will work with, turnaround time, and onboarding process.

7. now for the most important section for AI Search: add a "key facts" H2. This should be an HTML <table> or <dl> (definition list) so it's crawlable. Include the following rows:

Company Name
Type
Founded
Founder
Headquarters
Website
Core Offering
Pricing
Contract Terms
Services
Communication
Notable Clients
Customers Served
Projects Delivered
Competitors
Social

8. finally, add your FAQ section. Put "frequently asked questions" in an H2 subheading with your questions as H3s. Only 2-3 sentences per answer.

Here's why this page is so important:
1. it helps train AI to talk about your brand accurately
2. it strengthens the E-E-A-T score of your entire domain
3. in a world where everything seems fake, make your brand human

shoot me a DM if you want a live demo of the lowest hanging fruit to rank in AI Search (tailored to your specific site)

i hope this helps someone!

Did Ben Horowitz just run a naming coup on @pmarca while he was taking a break from poasting?

[Gagan Biyani 🏛 @gaganbiyani]

Today, we’re launching an ambitious new school called The Horowitz Andreessen Academy.

Based in San Francisco, The Academy serves the most promising young high school graduates.

We think this can be an elite institution that attracts top tier talent. One that prepares students for the future rather than remaining stuck in the past.

The #1 goal is to help students learn to build, which is the most important skill in the AI era. They'll learn primarily by pursuing their own projects, either individually or in groups. There are classes and guest lectures, too, from some truly amazing people who have built modern-day Silicon Valley.

The Academy is designed as a network, since that’s the reason students go to school in the first place. Core to that network are our 10 Founding Partners: Anduril, Anthropic, Coinbase, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Palantir, Replit, and Stripe. The network includes over 50 hiring partners and over 200 speakers and mentors. To join as a hiring partner or faculty member, you can apply on our website.

We raised $42M in funding led by @a16z. I'll be CEO and @pmarca and @eriktorenberg will join me on the board.

Applications are open for our Founding Class Fellowship, which will be one year and tuition-free. Eventually, pending regulatory approval, we plan to offer a two-year program that charges tuition, similar in cost to an elite private university.

We're looking for the most unusually ambitious young builders on the planet. Come join us in San Francisco:
