@blender + AI can take on hollywood.

We just open-sourced 3DREAL !

A new render-to-real IC-LoRA for LTX-2.3 from fal: turn any 3D / CG / game render into high 3d render, photorealistic, film-quality video, keeping your exact composition and camera move using the first frame.

@WillemKadijk @nateherk @HyperFrames_ 10x cheaper than producing a real video.

Seeing Martin Scorsese using FLUX for storyboarding and scene exploration was absolutely insane. Experiencing how one of the absolute masters of cinema & filmmaking uses the technology that we developed, his curiosity and creativity, and the way he prompted our models, was humbling.

I am grateful to call Martin Scorsese an advisor to BFL, and to explore the next, multimodal and interactive phases of visual AI with him.

@RealEmirHan Why morph from a goat to an alien?

The chances of a deer taking you out at a crosswalk are slim. But never zero.

Introducing Search as Code, our new search architecture for AI agents.

It writes Python that calls our search stack directly, instead of looping through function calls one at a time.

Available in the Perplexity Agent API, and now default in Computer.

@BernieSanders This is why they blocked you from being the nominee.

@javilopen It's way past time to end the war with Nvidia.

May the Force Be With You......Tube. ⚔️

A 20-year-old @YouTube creator just handed @A24 its biggest opening ever. Kane Parson’s film "Backrooms" took on and matched "Star Wars" at the box office with one 10M swing of a @Blender powered lightsaber. Meanwhile, "Mandalorian and Grogu" needs $400–500M just to break even. It's gonna be super hard to justify traditional VFX pipelines and budgets going forward, especially when AI makes filmmaking and VFX even easier for aspiring creatives. Hollywood is cooked.

This is a must-read by Steven Zeitchik about YouTube, the movie business, and "a teetering, if not the first hints of a collapse, of a legacy-driven studio system" https://t.co/zZsHjjirmy

Introducing Cosmos 3: Our latest frontier model for Physical AI

Cosmos 3 is the world’s first fully open omnimodel with native vision reasoning, world and action generation.

Today we’re releasing Super (32B) and Nano (8B) variants.

People calling all AI VFX slop are going frame by frame and zooming in to find the flaws. But in the context of a movie or production, the scene simply flies by. The only thing that really matters is suspension of disbelief. The reality is, nobody cares how it was made except those of us being displaced by the technology. Studios won't pay more when they can get AI VFX for less. Basic economics. Proof - AI is already everywhere in VFX. The industry has already changed, and this is only the beginning. So the only choice we really have is to adopt the technology or do something else.

I tripped @perplexity_ai running @AnthropicAI’s Claude Opus 4.7 Thinking with a @NYTGames Connections screenshot with the prompt "Let's check how smart you are today?"

The screenshot showed 2 misses. My actual test - if it asked how I did, would it refer to the screenshot showing two failed attempts.

After it solved the puzzle, it asked how I did.

I said “No mistakes and all categories nailed.”

It fell for my trap just like a substitute teacher and congratulated me!

AGI doesn't happen when it can solve Connections puzzles.

It’s when AI is smart enough to realize when it's being played.

@DougTenNapel The scripture teaches of a strong delusion so powerful that it will literally put an end to traditional beliefs. I can't think of a stronger delusion than aliens who can work verifiable miracles, explain the mysteries of creation and how they put us here.

@Ten_24 @FlippedNormals ZBrush?

The results shown here used to take a very skilled artist weeks to create.

AI coming for white collar jobs. Robots for blue collar jobs. Soon everyone will be free to do whatever they want.
