This short film made with Seedance 2.0 is absolutely insane.

The realism looks like a real movie.

Could you tell it's AI?

Spatial reconstruction is a long-context problem: real scenes come with hundreds of images. But O(N²) transformer-based models don’t scale efficiently.

Introducing: 🤐ZipMap (CVPR ’26): Linear-Time, Stateful 3D Reconstruction via Test-Time Training (TTT).

ZipMap “zips” a large image collection into an implicit TTT scene state in a single linear-time operation. The state will then be decoded into spatial outputs, and can be queried efficiently for novel-view geometry and appearance (~100 FPS)

ZipMap is not only much faster (>20× faster than VGGT), but also matches or surpasses the accuracy of all SOTA models.

Coding got >10x more productive last month, which means that the opportunity cost of all work that isn't coding has gone up by >10x. You should rebalance your schedule accordingly: cancel meetings, reduce admin work, write fewer emails, close Overleaf. It's time to code.

When I created Claude Code as a side project back in September 2024, I had no idea it would grow to be what it is today. It is humbling to see how Claude Code has become a core dev tool for so many engineers, how enthusiastic the community is, and how people are using it for all sorts of things from coding, to devops, to research, to non-technical use cases. This technology is alien and magical, and it makes it so much easier for people to build and create. Increasingly, code is no longer the bottleneck.

A year ago, Claude struggled to generate bash commands without escaping issues. It worked for seconds or minutes at a time. We saw early signs that it may become broadly useful for coding one day.

Fast forward to today. In the last thirty days, I landed 259 PRs -- 497 commits, 40k lines added, 38k lines removed. Every single line was written by Claude Code + Opus 4.5. Claude consistently runs for minutes, hours, and days at a time (using Stop hooks). Software engineering is changing, and we are entering a new period in coding history. And we're still just getting started..

did a project w meta quest 3 where i scanned my studio. its pretty rad, you can walk around a look at stuff and get close. i spefically did not clean the place before we scanned it. works on your phone and on the headset - https://t.co/1sVyNrq5MB

Today we are releasing Gen-4 References to all paid plans. Now anyone can generate consistent characters, locations and more. With References, you can use photos, generated images, 3D models or selfies to place yourself or others into any scene you can imagine.

More examples below.

And yes, we released a full paper! https://t.co/Rsz5YedAuE

It was a mammoth effort with such an amazing team :)
