🧵 This is my 12-month take on Sora 2 development: Sora 2 won’t replace TikTok/IG, but could own the crowne of the AI scene-video lane: Generate → Remix → Cameo → Re-create. Biggest risk = trust & governance (deepfakes, rights, minors, politics). Expect a split: director-grade ideas vs fast junk.
How we prompt AI is very different in 2026 than 2022 when ChatGPT came out.
I'm teaching a new course, AI Prompting for Everyone, to help you become an AI power user — whatever your current skill level.
It covers skills that apply across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI tools. How to use deep research mode for well-researched reports on complex questions. How to give AI the right context, including more documents and images than most people realize you can provide. When to ask AI to think hard for several minutes on important decisions like what car to buy, what to study, or what job to take. And how to use AI to generate images, analyze data, and build simple games and websites.
I also cover intuitions about how these models work under the hood, so you know when to trust an answer and when not to.
Along the way, you'll see flying squirrels, a creativity test, some of my old family photos, and fireworks.

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.
@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)
New Anthropic research: Emotion concepts and their function in a large language model.
All LLMs sometimes act like they have emotions. But why? We found internal representations of emotion concepts that can drive Claude’s behavior, sometimes in surprising ways.
I think it's a great work-in-progress Seedance2.0 example. AI's development is being accelerated in 2026 (much faster than 2025) and soon over time the large model will become smarter and understand/reason better of our physical world and then the issue will be ultimately solved.
I tried to replicate this stunning long-distance football shot video between two football celebrities in Seedance 2.0. The platform is now censoring the names of global superstars. Too bad.
This is a mini-drama episode example, totally powered by #Seedance2.0. It's story about a little girl with super power to save her family and village from the the locust swarm. FYI, the world setting is based on one of Dou-yin's selected Chinese fantasy novel, and our team did the character development mostly using #NanoBananaPro and #seedream5 .0. We tailored made two pieces of the background music using ElevenLabs (with complicated prompt to match the music with the time code of the video). With Seedance2.0, the whole production process was boosted by 2 to 3 times with better consistency and effiency.

We here at Vitally AI Studio has been in this AI-powered mini-drama field for a while now. What is happening in China here is Douyin (the much earlier and more advanced version of Tik Tok) is pushing their traffic and revenue growth in the fast-growing AI-powered mini-drama category. Douyin is actually commissioning their own mini-drama production backed-by copyright novel (one of the largest online novel platform also owned by ByteDance) and high-quality production. Our studio is now in touch with them to see if our work meets their requirement.
Yes, Seedance is disrupting the AI video generation paradigm. It's not just video generation but a much stronger multi-model understanding, reasoning, and multi-modal generation with sufficient understanding of the physical world. I like this #Seedance2 .0 motion design example. It showcases how Seedance2.0 democratize the commercial-ready and cinematic story-telling.
Excited to launch Pencil

This is an awesome e-commerce product video generation AI workflow. I wish there were more to it, such as a more vivid script along with voice-over and background music to make it more branded and compelling.I've researched quite a few e-commerce brand merchants for my new multi-modal/multiple agent AI product , and these brands esp SMEs might not be capable of building an AI workflow themselves. A much easier-to-use application that gives them final results—videos that they can use on Amazon or on other social media—would be more useful. I'm very intrigued to build one.
I built an AI system that automates product video creation for entire e-commerce catalogs.
(Saves $30K per collection shoot, increases conversion rates by 40% on sites)
Here's how the automation works:
→ Firecrawl scrapes product photos from any e-commerce product page
→ Nano Banana create 4 images showcasing each angle of the product
→ Google's Veo 3.1 animates a 360° motion video using the generated nano banana images
→ Each animation starts and ends with the original photo for seamless looping
→ Videos are automatically organized and stored in Google Drive
→ Everything processes in batches while you handle other business priorities
This system can transform how DTC companies showcase products and consistently drives higher engagement from potential customers.
Static product photos just don't cut it anymore. Customers want to see what a product looks and feels like before they buy.
