@jayrao we've been working on @magicpatterns for 4+ years now! our bread & butter is customizing output to your brand guidelines.

happy to give you a walkthrough + some extra starting credits, feel free to shoot me a message!

I'm all in for faster, better models but as someone who loves wine & blind tasting, the wine example is incredibly misleading. It was given 3 wines and exact varietals & vintages and was told to match them. I'm surprised it wasn't able to identify it 20/20 times.

Introducing Inkling 2 Small. Scoring 31 on the AA Intelligence Index, it's a big jump over its predecessor.

Inkling 2 Small is available for fine-tuning and inference on Tinker today, with full weight release planned soon.

@Teddarific @alexdanilowicz insane holy

[Jayneil Dalal @jayneil]

I'm interviewing the @magicpatterns team on how to design an AI design tool.

Some topics I'm personally excited to cover:
- Designing a canvas that prioritizes design over code
- Discarded iterations that made the canvas feel cluttered
- Agent character design

What do y'all want to know from @alexlee_?

The team just doesn't miss.

Holy shit.

@Teddarific huge plus to shipping the story behind the design decisions, it's not just the output but the journey!

One of my favorite underrated features of MagicOS is that you can ask the agent to just reorganize the canvas for you

[Alex Danilowicz @alexdanilowicz]

Today we're launching MagicOS. And we've come to the conclusion that designers are NOT getting replaced.

most of the industry moved to the same answer this year: give the agent its own canvas, let it run, hand you the output.

we made a different bet: the canvas should be yours and the agent is your collaborator. that’s MagicOS.

most AI design tools are a linear conversation: prompt, generate, iterate, repeat. a hundred prompts in, you might have a great final design, but the reasoning, rejected directions, and inspiration that got you there are buried in a chat log nobody will ever scroll back through.

MagicOS is a persistent, spatial canvas. Your PRD, inspiration images, design system, variations, rejected directions, final picks - all of it lives together, all in one place, instead of stacked on top of itself and lost.

it’s voice-first. talk to it in real time and watch work land directly on the canvas as you speak.

it’s also multiplayer. your whole team works on the same canvas together.

and it still runs on your design system and components because none of this matters if the output doesn’t look like your actual product.

three months ago, this was internal only at Magic Patterns, my co-founder's weekend project. it’s now live for everyone.

Design everything, everywhere, all at once.

En un chat, terminar una frase con un punto a veces se siente como una declaración de guerra. 😅

Para darle más calidez y expresividad a la pantalla, los emojis planos evolucionan a 3D con Noto 3D:

[alex lee @alexlee_]

@alexdanilowicz @magicpatterns woo! happy birthday magic patterns!!

[alex lee @alexlee_]

@zoink Totally agree

[alex lee @alexlee_]

I will say I am very impressed with @grok's 4.6, less yappy than Claude models and gets the work done faster with less tokens

[alex lee @alexlee_]

what do you mean iphone duo, I already had one

[alex lee @alexlee_]

I feel like we live in a weird world where if you use AI you're perceived as dumb but if not used generically you're perceived as smart

[alex lee @alexlee_]

@OfficialLoganK @GoogleDeepMind damn solid for the speed and price!

[alex lee @alexlee_]

@alexdanilowicz @magicpatterns I can’t believe I was allowed to spend that much 💸
