Today marks the next chapter for @synthesiaIO as we announce our $200M Series E at $4B led by GV. It’s been quite a ride since 2017 when we set out to transform how people make video. Now, 8 years later, so much of that vision has come to fruition as evident everywhere around us. It’s truly incredible how good AI video has become in the last two years. Up until now it’s been mostly about making video as we know it with AI. This is often referred to as the ‘bridge-period’ where new technology copies old formats, like when the first films were just recorded theater or early GPS was just a digital map with no navigation. Now, it’s time to figure out what AI-native video truly looks like - when we let go of the priors and rethink video in the context of language models, real-time video generation, smartphones and so much more. With this new round, it’s all about helping people work better – both with AI video and a bunch of new real-time products, like Skills. We’ll be sharing much more in the coming months! Grateful to all of our amazing customers, Synthesian’s and investors!

We just released 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚝-𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝-𝚙𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚎𝚜, a repo for coding agents. React performance rules and evals to catch regressions, like accidental waterfalls and growing client bundles. How we collected them and how to install the skill ↓ vercel.com/blog/introducing-…

Will your grandchildren will be the last generation to read and write? From hieroglyphics to keyboards, how we communicate keeps evolving. In my @TEDAI Vienna talk, I argue that text will give way to video and audio—once creation is as effortless. Full talk here: youtube.com/watch?v=6wCml0g2…

I'm joining UK's finest @HarryStebbings from @twentyminutevc tomorrow for a chat about building in the UK, the AI landscape, Synthesia and why kids should play more computer games. Tune in, we may also drop some big news 👀

These AI avatars are arguably the best in the world. Which do you think is actually me: A or B? Please answer the poll below. I’m curious what percentage are fooled! Was in NYC to interview @synthesiaIO CEO/cofounder @vriparbelli and had fun making this avatar. — 👋 Hi, I’m Harper, AI educator, engineer and advisor.

🌟I was so excited to come across this tool for VS Code that I stopped everything to make a video and share it. It's called Theme Studio for VS Code by Mike Tromba. It is amazingly helpful when you're trying to create a new theme but also good if you're looking for one to use.

The head of security at Canva shared this on LinkedIn. I don't see him on Twitter to tag for credit, but I needed to share as it's pure gold.
