We are the easiest place to use the best frontier models & open source models all at once!👇
The best AI storyboard-to-video workflow on the internet right now is GPT Image 2 → Seedance 2.0. We just made it the default at chat.sogni.ai - connecting with ByteDance and OpenAI to bring both into one chat-first creative engine. Type an idea. Get a storyboard. Get cinematic video. Refine. Ship the ad concept. Minutes, not days. Two things make Sogni different: → No subscription. Higgsfield bills you $29/mo whether you generate one clip or a hundred. Sogni is pay-per-generation on a people-powered consumer GPU network - frontier models when you need them, open-source models like LTX2.3 when you don't. → Same workflow, from your agent. Tell Claude, Codex, or Hermes to "make me a 6-shot storyboard and turn it into video" - the Sogni Creative Agent Skill runs the whole pipeline. chat.sogni.ai - try it free, no card.

Anybody that uses vanilla ChatGPT or Claude API plan without 5x or 20x monthly sub needs to get their head checked.
Replying to @SemiAnalysis_
Recently, we purchased one of each Anthropic/OpenAI subscription plan and randomly ran long horizon coding tasks until we exhausted the weekly limit. It's widely believed that a $200/month plan maxes out at ~$2000/month worth of tokens (assuming API pricing). However, we found that the subscriptions are actually far more generous. (2/4)

I was maximizing my Fable 5 use ever since I got access to it. It's a genuinely amazing model. Goodnight sweet prince.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

A trillionaire with exactly $1 trillion could give about $120 per person to every human alive. Using a 2026 world population around 8.3 billion people, the math is: $1,000,000,000,000 ÷ 8,300,000,000 ≈ $120.48 each

Generate full product video ads from a single photo! Don't run your own AI agents? Use chat.sogni.ai Use AI agents? npx setup-sogni-agent-skill 😎
Turn one product photo into a finished video ad. Storyboard to video with sound in minutes - inside a chat. Drop in a product photo and one sentence. Minutes later: a 9-frame storyboard, then a finished video ad with sound, ready to run. Powered by GPT Image 2 → Seedance 2.0 - one of the strongest storyboard-to-video pairings available right now, both in one chat at chat.sogni.ai. Why it's different: → No subscription. Most Seedance providers lock you into a monthly plan whether you make one clip or a hundred. Sogni charges per generation on a people-powered consumer GPU network. → Agent-native. Run the whole pipeline from Claude, Codex, or Hermes - "turn this into a 9-shot storyboard video" straight from your terminal. → Right model for the job. Frontier models when you need them, open-source models like LTX 2.3 when you don't. One photo. One sentence. One finished ad. Your move ↓ chat.sogni.ai

Sogni Creative Agent is nuts. I have to go to my child's school tmw to teach them about the sea. My daughter and I made this craft example for the kids to do. I took a picture of the completed plate. Opened Claude and said "Use Sogni agent skill to remove each element: fish, rocks, plants, into their own images. It used Sogni's Qwen Image Edit lightning to do it. Then I said to merge them all into nice transition videos with hands placing each item down. It used Sogni's Seedance i2v to make each video and stitched them all to produce this. Agentic creative AI is here. Just tell your agent "install the Sogni skill from github.com/Sogni-AI/sogni-cr…" Or in terminal run this command: `npx setup-sogni-agent-skill` Works with Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and OpenClaw.

Are these “orbit data centers” in the room with us now?
As the recently expanded partnership with @AnthropicAI demonstrates, @SpaceX is offering AI compute as a service at significant scale. We are in discussions with other companies to do the same. Over time, especially with orbital data centers, we expect to serve AI at extremely high scale.

Cool "local LLM saved me" story: I'm at a hotel in a remote country and the wifi works on my phone but the hotel's Captive Portal auth just won't load on my laptop. Just can't get it to trigger. There is literally no one that can help you. With no internet, I crack open OpenCode Qwen3 27b 8-bit via LMStudio and it begins debugging. Says wifi is operational but DNS is blocked for some reason so it can't trigger Captive Portal. It proceeds to find the Captive Portal local IP address and adds to my etc hosts the override: 12.35.64.44 hotel.wifi.network And boom. I'm auth'd and online. When I get access to Codex I tell it to debug it further and turns out I have 1.1.1.1 global DNS override in my wifi settings which hotel wifi was blocking. Local LLM saves the day.

Codex is a capable, all-you-can-eat buffet, while Claude Code is being more restricted every day, with Anthropic secretly nerfing models/settings and now charging you for agent use at 10x API rates. Their MO seems to be to offer you less, while charging you more as time passes. Claude is a better product ran by a worse CEO and logistics planner but better tech geek. Access to GPU’s is what Anthropic failed at and continues to handle it in the most shifty way possible. The XAI deal was crazy esp with the smack Elon talks about “Misanthropic” but hopefully this leads Claude on a better, more stable path. Competition is important.

A few weeks ago I built Hermes Therapist: a therapy-style reflection skill for Hermes Agent. This skill is designed to make Hermes a structured, emotionally attuned, non-sycophantic reflective companion: part mirror, part translator, part witness, part coach, part emotional debugger. When installed all you have to do is run "/therapy-mode" to start a session. Sessions can last just a few minutes or 30 minutes if you like. Notes and feedback are kept private and exist only on your machine. I have field tested it for a few weeks and have gained some really valuable insights about my own philosophy and struggles. Maybe you will too? Link below.

Kenneth was a dev, then a decade long stellar VC, and thanks to AI he’s back into hardcore dev mode with an army of agents. I call him my Garry Tan.
Built a new little project called The Travel Signal (thetravelsignal.com): a travel-hacking news aggregator that watches the main points blogs, filters out the credit-card promo fluff, and summarizes only the actual useful news. If multiple blogs cover the same thing, it merges them into one concise brief with links to the original sources. Basically: travel loyalty news, without the noise. Still MVP, but it’s live. Let me know what y’all think.

Important: This is a summary of an amazing video by one of the best creators I know. Video in the first comment. If you've been struggling to setup a productive local environment I'll summarise, but you should watch the video. 1. Qwen3.6-27B with NO THINKING - 4bit - 16bit depending on your resources 2. Hermes agent: It's polished, minimal, and OSS, if you're on OC keep at it it's also great but IMO consumes more tokens == slower 3. Learn to work in a detached way: Instead of small, unclear prompts make something really specific and hand-off to a local agent: - What is your end goal? - What is the output format? - How would you recommend a task be done? - How would you deal with common issues? Kick off a job and go do something IRL, the lower speeds paired with very clear prompts means you can check in every 2 hours on average for your next free task. Treat it like a challenge, it'll teach you so much. ~~~~~~~ If you're more technical, wire your devices with Tailscale & use protected Cloudflare Tunnels to serve your inference API to your network so you can work from ANYWHERE with your local models. I love Droid, Pi, and Opencode but you can use local models in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor relatively easily. Most of your day will involve computer-use which the models are great at. Need to reset a server? Do it for free, want to gather research? Do it for free. Not every task requires a 10T param beast crunching on things, being able to quickly cycle between models is what's critical here, which is why I recommend the three harnesses I did ~~~~~~~ What is productive? - Organise all your files, folders, images, etc.. have each one tagged (Qwen is omni so no more date time titles) - Create a content cache for yourself: - recommendation algo for books & videos etc. - content/papers/courses for studying - Social media post ideas (write your own posts tho) - Torrent manager, you don't need Netflix or Spotify lol - Simple utility coding projects: landing pages, designs, games, scripts - Market watchers: purchase stuff, check marketplaces, do shopping - Budgeting, taxes, and subscription management I could go on and on, obviously it's not going to make you a millionaire or whatever but it makes life more FUN. ~~~~~~~ AI is a tool, one that's very good at accelerating you towards self fulfilment as long as you: 1. Understand what it is 2. Learn how to talk to it 3. Keep trying to improve you ~~~~~~~ My videos tend to be stream of thought, I am starved of time and just want to make sure I keep up. I would not be doing this if I couldn't just generate 3 thumbnails on t3chat, for example. That's why I spend so much time working on this. I see myself being more of who I want to be every day and a lot of that is with the help of this technology, allowing me to more quickly and effectively interact with the world. Being able to own this at home? True sovereignty. ~~~~~~~ Thank you, Digital Spaceport. I wouldn't have gotten this deep into running my own infra without your videos.
