Seedance 2.5 specs just leaked on Dreamina's website. 30-second videos standard, 180 seconds 3 minutes) in beta long-video mode, and up to 50 multimodal inputs compared to 2.0's 15-second max and 12 inputs.

The page also shows R2V motion control using green screen references to guide character movement and spatial positioning. Plus local editing that lets you fix specific regions without regenerating the entire video.

The first rollout is due mid-July in certain regions in China.

@JSFILMZ0412 I love your stuff, it should get more views.

We brought Blender into AI movie generation. This will save so much time for anyone creating AI movies or dramas!

The most controllable way to direct consistent frames featuring complex spaces and multiple characters.

At @plotpartyai we've added a 3D Director Console so you can extract compositions into 3D, easily tune exact shot configurations, and natively embedded into your AI generation workflow.

This has been our most ambitious feature to date, where we worked across model and interface layers, rethought the entire experience, and brought two apparently different paradigms under the same experience.

Give it a shot (pun intended)!

Crypto sentiment is at its worst level since the FTX collapse; the RSI is at an all-time low, Google searches are down, and the fear and greed index is screaming danger, so I sat down with my friend Tom Lee (@fundstrat), Fundstrat's (@FundstratCap) chief strategist and Bitmain's CEO, to get his honest take on where Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the entire crypto market go from here. If you're sitting on unrealized losses right now and wondering whether to hold or fold, this is the conversation you need to hear.

Watch/Listen on X, YouTube, and Spotify.

Timestamps
0:00 Tom Lee Introduction
1:12 Is capital being sucked out of crypto into AI?
3:05 Is Bitcoin in a 4-year cycle?
6:58 Tom Lee on Ethereum: "Price is lagging fundamentals."
8:55 Tom Lee: "AI agents might become wealthier than us."
9:46 Is Tom Lee worried about Quantum resistance in Bitcoin?
11:22 Anthony: "Michael Saylor has become the Bitcoin narrative."
14:35 Anthony's Bitmine bull vs bear case
18:21 Post-FTX conviction: Bitcoin went from $15K to $126K, what does that teach you?
21:47 Tom Lee: These are dark days, but July is a new month

The biggest money-making opportunity in AI isn’t in tech.

It’s in entertainment.

In the next few years, we’ll see a billion-dollar franchise , the next Game of Thrones, Demon Slayer, or Attack on Titan created by a writer and a team of 10 to 20 people.

Imagine the billions generated by Game of Thrones, but split between 10 people instead of thousands. All the rights and royalties going to a single studio/publishing house.

Seedance is only two or three evolutions away from making this possible for small teams.

You don’t want to build the next Cursor, Harvey, or Salesforce.

You want to build the next Disney, Pixar, Marvel, or MAPPA.

This vial contains a new drug called PAC-832, which I recently invented to treat Alzheimer’s disease. It is the world’s first selective GalR1 antagonist.

I designed and synthesized PAC-832 in a chemistry lab I built in my garage. (1/16)

Scientists have long made predictions about Q-Day, the supposed date when quantum computers will be able to break the sophisticated cryptography systems on which modern societies rely.

John Reed explains why organisations believe it may be drawing near. https://t.co/UtobwqGgrn

Metaなどの研究チームが開発した3Dアバター生成技術「FiCA」。

1枚の顔写真から、カメラに映っていない頭部も含めたリアルな3Dアバターを5秒以内に生成。

独自の拡散モデルと処理ネットワークにより、対象の表情をリアルタイムで自在に動かすことが可能。

experiment with bytedance's new SEED audio model...

it's tricky to get consistent audio out of seedance prompts, esp if you want a multiclip story

so i took the original 1min lowrez mulit-clip video i made here and handed it to both cc & codex with a FAL key... (more below)

📖SEEDANCE 2.0 FEELS LIKE CHEATING — IF YOU USE IT RIGHT

Most people don’t.

It’s a controllable pipeline — and JSON prompts are the real upgrade most creators ignore.

Most people still write simple prompts and hope for the best.
That works… but only for random outputs.

JSON changes the game:

Instead of:
“cyberpunk city, cinematic, camera moving forward”

You define:

•scene structure
•camera movement
•character consistency
•timing per shot
•motion rules

This is where Seedance 2.0 becomes powerful — not just generation, but control.

Creators who switch to JSON-style prompting stop “retrying” and start directing scenes like a system.

That’s the difference between AI content… and AI filmmaking

📥 Tomorrow I’m revealing a method that changes everything about how AI content is made

i absolutely love "pure" startups like midjourney

> took zero outside money
> fully bootstrapped
> profitable since basically week one
> doing around $500m a year
> with a team of like 150 people.

which means when the CEO david holz decides he wants to build a sci-fi full-body scanner...

one that lowers you into a pool of water, maps your insides with MRI-level detail at ~100x the speed of an MRI, with no radiation and no giant magnet, there's nobody he has to convince.

he just builds it.

because there's no board or VC asking how a medical spa fits the image-gen roadmap or what the TAM looks like.

founder control is the cheat code.

it's what lets someone make the cool, risky, slightly absurd bet everyone else is too scared to even propose.

more companies like this please.

This is quite interesting! I made the exact same recipe 8 months ago, but never expected someone to launch this commercially

TLDR; you can get Fable performance with Opus using 2x Opus tokens

asked claude fable 5 to design a 16dof articulated robot hand

it also wrote a robot description file (urdf) for the hand

What can a neuron compute?

Real biological neurons are complex, but how capable are they?

Using a new method, we found that a single cortical neuron can classify cats vs dogs, recognize spoken words, and solve 10-bit parity, all tasks thought to require entire networks. (1/15)

Disney just invented a floor that lets you walk forever in VR while staying in one spot.

The HoloTile is an omnidirectional treadmill made of smart rotating tiles that counters your every step and keeps you centered. No giant room needed.

Ready Player One is officially here

[Higgsfield AI 🧩 @higgsfield]

Scriptwriting with Claude Fable 5 + Higgsfield MCP is on another level.

Both videos made using Seedance 2.0.

"Given everything I know, including scary non-public information, I now put the odds of qday by 2032 at 50%. 10% by 2030."

@drakefjustin's numbers echo the conclusion from our recent report: "Q-Day is more likely to occur than not by 2033, and potentially even as soon as 2030."

Migration to quantum-resistant cryptography is no longer optional but imperative for any blockchain system expected to be trusted and secure value into the future.

[Uncanny Harry AI @Uncanny_Harry]

"AI HAS NO PLACE IN FILMMAKING!" say the luddites and then the G.O.A.T drops this. If you are listening to the haters telling you AI has no place in in filmmaking and ignoring Scorsese, Spielberg, Cameron, Davies, Schrader, Aronofsky, then you need to check yourself.

Blog post: "The French have the Quantum Circuits" https://t.co/cP5hbTWl2B

André Schrottenloher just published a preprint showing how to construct quantum ECDLP circuits with costs similar to the ones in our zero knowledge proofs.
