dude GPT-6 Astra is some kind of turbo-AGI machine god for 3D games. It one-shot this in 45 minutes for hardly a couple % of my quota.
I figured out how to get great graphics out of it. The trick is image gen. I'll share the process below.
meet @mostik_ai!
what happens when you put 12 PhDs in one room for four months? first place on the ARC-AGI leaderboard, which I can't say much about while the competition is still running. and this, which I can.
everyone's arguing about whether open models will catch up to frontier models. we think it's the wrong question. here's the one we pose: why does a frontier model have to generate your answer at all, when the only thing you need from it is the reasoning?
we do this by enabling models to communicate in latent space. through our protocol, hidden states pass straight from a frontier model into a small one running on your infrastructure -- no text between them, and neither model is fine-tuned. two models from different families, sharing reasoning, both left untouched.
how do we know it works? we tested it on a setup where a 753B model reads the problem, and a 4B edge-class model writes the answer. with this approach, we get results 80% as accurate as the frontier model, but at 20x faster performance.
we're committed to preventing frontier model lock-in and are already partnering with inference providers to accelerate open-weight adoption. we've done this between 15 of us, in four months, 12 PhDs and a Fields medalist, backed by @generalcatalyst

@iamAlexTurnbull Beautiful thing no VCs understand is that mid market and enterprise software is even better position than everyone starting from 0.
But VCs are basically VCs. DID - Dumb is dumb ๐๐ป
Venture funded startups model might soon be dead.
Discover your unfair advantage from day 1.
That means going outside saturated markets. But VCs and founders are sooo lazy so nobody cares
It's never going to work
It's just a research demo
It's too hard
It's decades away
It works too poorly
It makes hands with six fingers
It can't do physics
Movements don't feel real
It all looks the same
It feels oversaturated
It's too hard to use
It's slop
It's too easy to use
It has no soul
It can't keep consistent characters
It can't do real audio
It's only good for memes
It can't do good voices
It can't do dialogue
It's never going to be used for real stories
It's just a few seconds
It can't hold a shot longer than a clip
It's just for experiments
It can't do good stories
It can't lip sync
It can't be directed
It's not 16-bit EXR
It's not 10- and 12-bit ProRes and HEVC
It's fine for previz, but never final pixels
It's never going to be used by real artists
No studio will ever touch it
It will never win awards
It has no emotion
It can't make you feel anything
Audiences will always be able to tell
People will never like it
It will never be able to entertain
It will ...
We made the first 110-minute AI feature film with a real cast, The Cully Hill Boys, on Higgsfield for $2,000,000.
Starring @N3onOnYT, @stylebender, @RampageJackson, and @MKIATPIS
It's 100% open-sourced on Higgsfield: all prompts and assets are public now.
Made with Seedance on Higgsfield.
