@GlennHasABeard Thank you!

Today, we're sharing new research on Solaris, our first Interface World Model.

Solaris is a new kind of operating system that generates interactive interfaces frame by frame, in real time, with no code. We find that Solaris outperforms frontier LLMs when generating new interfaces, across structural similarity and information retention. Read more and request early access at the link below.

Someone made a film about a place like yours and got the small things wrong.

The wide shot passes. The detail you know by heart is the one they invented.

What did they get wrong about your world?

@Diesol Excited to use this!

Five questions and one worked example, turning a remembered scent into a filmable frame. La guía completa, en inglés. https://t.co/gU0OIAnCbM

Memories pulled up by a scent cluster in the first ten years of life. Word cues and pictures peak much later.

Nobody remembers a general scent. You remember the oil in that exact pan. Name the object, name what it was doing, and you have a shot a model can follow.

What is the first scent you remember from home?

@bilawalsidhu Filmmakers should be all over this. Location scouting used to be the most expensive line before a single frame existed, and a talking globe of real data turns it into an afternoon. Pick the place first and the story inherits its texture.

The Academy wrote its AI rule down in April 2025. Generative tools "neither help nor harm the chances" of a nomination. What gets judged is the human at the heart of authorship.

What would you make if you took them at their word?

Everything in this series was counted by somebody.

A clean signal put children in the right grade. One show moved the teen birth rate. A telenovela changed what parents named their babies. A drama series doubled HIV testing.

Stories move people to act. Who needs yours?

Brazilian towns got the soap opera signal one at a time, so researchers could count.

Where it reached, a main character's name hit the twenty most popular baby names 33 percent of the time. Where it missed, 8.5.

What are you putting into yours?

[IFSI (if-see) @IFSI_Studio]

A reality show followed pregnant teenagers for one season. In the 18 months after it aired, teen births fell 4.3 percent in the places that watched it most.

Nobody passed a law. Somebody told a story.

What is yours about?
