Thank you for the chat! Learned a lot from you :)
.@_leoluo just published a deep dive on Duckbill that captures something most people miss about AI companies:
We're not trying to replace humans. We're orchestrating them.
A few thoughts on what he got right 🧵

Today we’re releasing Chroma 1.0
→ the world first open-source, end-to-end, real-time speech-to-speech model
→ with personalized voice cloning
Trained by FlashLabs.
Deployed on FlashAI👉 flashlabs.ai/flashai-voice-a…
An open research-grade alternative to the @OpenAI Realtime model.
Voice Test dubbing @elonmusk and @lexfridman: youtube.com/watch?v=AOMmxTws…
🔥What’s real (evals and benchmarks attached):
⚡ <150ms TTFT (end-to-end)
🎙️ Native speech-to-speech (no ASR → LLM → TTS pipeline)
🧬 Few-second reference → high-fidelity voice cloning
📈 SIM = 0.817
→ 10.96% vs human baseline (0.73)
→ Best among open & closed baselines
🧠 Strong reasoning & dialogue with just 4B params (@Alibaba_Qwen 2.5-Omni-3B, Llama 3, and Mimi)
🔓 Fully open-source (code weights)
With SGLang @lmsysorg enabled:
• 🧠 Thinker TTFT ↓ ~15%
• ⏱️ End-to-end TTFT ~135ms
• 🔊 RTF ≈ 0.47–0.51 ( >2× faster than real-time )
📘 SGLang Cookbook: cookbook.sglang.io/docs/auto…
📄 Paper benchmarks: arxiv.org/abs/2601.11141
🤗 Models: huggingface.co/FlashLabs/Chr…
💻 Inference code: github.com/FlashLabs-AI-Corp…

Just built my first tool using Claude Code. I’ve been wanting to build this one for a while...
It lets me polish up any text on any website, email client, or app with a simple keyboard shortcut, without having to copy and paste into ChatGPT (used to do that like 20 times a day)

🎉 Excited to share that Gemini 3 Pro / Nano Banana Pro is now live on Pikes.
It’s easily one of the best image models out there, especially for lifestyle shots and more creative concepts. And yes — the outputs come in 4K.
If you want to try it out, head over to Pikes [dot] AI.

🚨 There's a massive arbitrage opportunity in AI video that 99% of consumer founders are dismissing.
You can now create $100K Hollywood-quality commercials and get millions of views for <$100. The results speak for themselves:
✅ @Kalshi : Aired on NBA Finals 3M views on X
✅ @whop : 2M views on X with an AI GTA-style video
✅ @drinkmudwtr: Top 5 ad performer founder made it in 2 hours
While your competitors think there is only AI slop, smart founders are capturing massive attention at 95% lower costs.
I reverse-engineered 20 viral AI commercials driving millions of views. Talked to 10 top AI filmmakers. Spent 50 hours documenting the exact playbook.
There's a repeatable system behind every founder winning this attention game.
I turned everything into a 2,000-word step-by-step playbook.
I'm giving it away FREE for the next 7 days only.
Comment blueprint and i will send it over!

Sharing this internal best AI artists notion board we curated here:
understood-romano-6af.notion…
We also built a product called Pikes.AI that can help you create high engagement AI videos like this with ease.
Beyond the Veo3 model available in the app, we also offer:
1/ Custom style presets and you can train your own visual style based on reference images
2/ An alternative non-Veo3 workflow that enables:
- Consistent voice and character
- 12-second clips
- Batch generation of multiple clips
- 10x cheaper than veo3
