"experts" for harder tokens?

"Mixture-of-Recursions (MoR): Learning Dynamic Recursive Depths for Adaptive Token-Level Computation"

MoR makes one shared Transformer block loop only for tokens that need extra thought, delivering quality with half the weights & twice the speed

This is so cool! Can't wait to use it!!

So, @Google said, "Hey, wanna make a film for #GoogleIO ? You have Carte Blanche." 🤯

For a brain that’s been mainlining animation and questionable VHS tapes since forever, that kind of freedom is both a dream and a mild panic attack. To be honest, until recently I never really thought film making was in the cards for me. Life happened, and although I ended up being a designer, film was more of a distant dream of a young version of myself.

Following the unexpected attention and warm reception for Kitsune earlier this year, Electric Pink came out as my own self-administered therapy session: a coming-of-age story that’s basically me trying to figure out my own creative wiring, from the fuzzy nostalgia of childhood to the full-on HD chaos of the present. Turns out, the path to making stuff is paved with a lot of self-doubt and sudden left turns. I’m hoping this film can build on the connection Kitsune fostered.

For this project, focused on exclusively using a lengthy process involving leveraging Imagen 3 to create the base of still frames (Imagen was amazing at iteratively enabling me to lock art direction) which I would then heavily retouch and prepare to get them as perfect as needed. Then each scene would be run through VEO2 to get animated clips based on those images (and then a very obvious bunch of sound design, voice design, editing, post-production and what not).

Now, what's been amazing as I was nearing the end of this project, is to see individual separate tools converge towards becoming "Flow": Google's AI filmmaking tool built on DeepMind's brilliant tools (Veo, Imagen, Gemini). I must say it’s been fascinating seeing how this tech can translate the random noise in my head into something… well, film-like.

It felt like a real step forward in allowing creators to iterate and refine their vision without getting bogged down in organization, and for example having an opportunity to use a first-frame to last-frame interpolation proved to be extremely useful as I could fully control the action I was aiming for.

Now in its current version, Flow offers even more features such as the scene builder to easily expand storylines, or ingredients to control character, object, and environment consistency...can't wait to dig more into those possibilities...they definitely would have made my life easier during the creation of this film which I hope you will enjoy.

Google reached out to me to create a short film for Google I/O 2025 using Flow, their new AI filmmaking tool. It’s been a magical experience collaborating with one of the most visionary tech teams in the world.
@Google #GoogleIO

The result is Dear “Stranger”, a film that explores the infinite nature of universal love between a grandmother and grandchild across countless parallel worlds.

People often ask why I use AI to craft my cinematic visions. For me, it’s not just about cutting-edge tech—it’s about unlocking stories that might otherwise remain untold. AI removes traditional constraints like time, budget, and scale, allowing me to express something deeply personal: the memory of my grandmother.

This film is a visual poem—an emotional offering to her. She was the foundation of my dreams, but never had the chance to witness the life I live today. I imagine her pride, had she seen the person I’ve become.

Dear “Stranger” captures flickering memories, shared love, and the eternal question: If there are infinite worlds, could we meet again—somewhere, somehow?

It is my honor to partner with Google on this film using Flow, built on DeepMind’s most advanced models—Veo, Imagen, and Gemini. Flow enables natural prompting, consistent characters and scenes, and centralized asset management.

@petergyang I like it too

[Charles @OptiMaluser777]

@kimmonismus Wastes more time to use it than to do stuff manually. They need to get their act together.

We've gone full circle guys!

Human make machine. Make machine think. Stock market crash. Make thinking machine not think. Human happy 😂
