cool technical launch video - very nice animations aligned to their brand - sound fx are elite - good music choice - good use of text on screen to emphasize narration - classy vibes overall but - parts of the script are a little cheesy (like the last 2 lines) - a little slow to start - would have noted how issues with agents impact a business (lost rev, user churn, etc) I think this may be the best text and graphic animation-heavy launch video. these tend to be pretty cringe and cookie cutter since AI can now generate them on the fly, but this comes off extremely tasteful. arsh is one of the best brand-oriented founder I know so it makes sense that his video would be really dialed in on that side. also the product is killer

it’s happening
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…

beautiful launch video - love how aligned to linear's brand this is. everything is perfectly dialed in. - music sets the perfect tone - really creative & original approach in general (esp with the projected text / UI) - great seeing real users - really authentic broll and user discussions - shots are really nice in general but - would have got to the point of what they're launching faster. - need a scroll stopper. "linear is a shared context system for teams" as the first line is boring and confusing - the live speech is pretty awkward without an audience. who is Karri talking to? would have had a live audience reacting to the announcement. - would have had much clearer text for the specific things they're announcing. currently too hidden or hard to read. think this is a great example of what a dark/chic brand can do with music to make the product feel uplifting/happy rather than scary (usually the case for dark brands) the rule for looking off camera while talking is that you are either doing documentary style interview or there is a clear audience or person you're speaking to. v awkward if neither is true (in this case for linear).

incredible launch video - very very original concept - founder is super authentic and compelling when he talks - elite editing given how few different shots there are - animation on the character is spectacular. looks like a pro worked on this. - dialog between founder and character is great and paced nicely - brilliant idea focusing on key questions people ask about their space - sound fx and music is solid - great scroll stopper, bold statement, social proof, etc but - only feedback is to add captions this is might be my favorite launch video of last 6 months. the biggest thing they nail is simply copying a PROVEN format from YouTube/film/TV. the physical board with google queries on it is something I've seen on tons of YT videos but have never seen on a launch video. and the animated character closely parallels pixar's characters. had they tried to change even a small piece of this or not executed it well, this wouldn't have hit as hard. not only is this an easy hack for coming up with video ideas, but it ALWAYS works. Founders Fund just did it with reality TV, TBPN did it with ESPN. spectacular work

“don’t train your own model” is common ai advice. it's wrong. your token bill's the proof. today, we’re excited to launch castform into open preview. castform is the easiest way for you to train your own model, on your own data. open-weights models are performant and much cheaper. when trained on your task & proprietary data, they beat closed models. the thing standing between you and that was weeks of plumbing & years of ml expertise. with castform, model training is as simple as prompt engineering. @castformai bring your agent traces or raw corpora. castform turns it into training data, picks the right algorithmic recipes, manages gpus, and gives you an ide to watch and chat with your model as it learns. see what you can build with castform👇

cinematic slop launch video - very good scroll stopper but - no idea what the product is - cam quality is a tad low enough where the whole thing feels low quality - acting could be better - cliche storyline - UI and AI voice makes the product feel fake two biggest issues with this are: 1. this cinematic angle almost never works for startups. partially because it pits you against ACTUAL cinema (which you can never compare to) and partially because it requires people to give a shit about your brand for them to pay attention (which no one does) 2. european characters for investors. you want viewers to believe the most elite people in their industry are using your product. I'm sorry to say, but european investors are not considered elite by any measure, especially compared to American and Bay Area investors specifically. generally would advise any startup over-indexing on european influence for any video, especially on X where the connotation is generally unfavorable across the board. unless you're a travel startup.
Investors see 100 deals a week. Fund less than 1%. Somewhere in that noise is a generational deal. @ThineAI makes sure you don't miss it. It holds every conversation, every signal, every detail. No prompts. Just context when it matters. Comment Thine for access.

one of the best montage videos I've seen - editing is absolutely elite. amazing attention to detail - the music is perfect. super nostalgic feeling. - font choice was great - sound fx flipping between text is great but - some shots don't correspond nicely - the delivery of the narrative would be more powerful if it was a recording of a speech or something (feels a little in authentic - voice in the background interferes with narrative - could be slightly shorter nearly perfect though. if you're gonna do a montage video like this take notes.
