if this is what made the BTS cut i need to see what didn’t how long did you guys spend filming this
Earlier this month we introduced Griffin, the first AI model to pass the video Turing test. The launch post got a lot of traction (~21M views), but filming it with Griffin running live on set was its own adventure... Here are some of my favorite BTS clips:

i usually ignore anything voice for AI, most of it never sounds human this changed my mind: >install this for a tech support company >use it with chatgpt or claude >24/7 automated customer support there’s no way you can’t make $10k/mo with this

underrated line in the sunra api launch: "the model you call is exactly the model that runs" anyone who's shipped on an aggregator knows the "why does the output look worse today" feeling they also itemize every request and every charge in the console pricing is each model at its maker's own api price, pay as you go that combo is what i'd want before putting video gen in prod
Today we're launching the Sunra API. Every leading image, video, audio and 3D model through one key, each at its maker's own API price. Pay as you go, with no subscription and no markup. The models are ready. Your app is next.

construction is a $15T a year industry productivity growth, 2000 to 2022 (McKinsey): manufacturing: +90% construction: +10% meanwhile the main software for designing buildings dates back to 1997, and most "AI for architecture" is a chat window bolted on top of it snaptrude built the agent into the design platform itself. programmers already went through this shift, architecture is next link's here, try it: snaptrude.com

Today we're launching @snaptrude Agent, the most advanced agent for building design. It does real design work with you, from a site to a construction-ready LOD 400 model with structure, MEP and drawings. Then can go back to your existing software with your families intact. About a year ago we bet the company on AI. Honestly the insight came from software engineering. It wasn't long ago that autocomplete felt like a big deal, and now engineers direct agents that write a lot of the code. I think the same shift is coming to how we design buildings, and it's already started. Most designers I meet aren't short on skill, they're short on time. Take the call every design team dreads, the client cuts the budget by 30%. Today that's a bad month for everyone. With the agent you're the director. You decide where the cost comes out, and it updates the layout, coordinates the structure and MEP, and redoes the drawings. So when design exploration gets this cheap, we go from 3 options to 300, and more options means better buildings. Since August our users have gone through more than 140 billion tokens, and firms like Jacobs, Studio+, Kajima, VMDO, Dekker and hundreds of others use Snaptrude today. In our early access, more than 2,000 designers have run over 25,000 tasks through the agent since September. We also built a benchmark for this, AECBench, because in AEC an almost correct answer is still wrong. It gives AI the same brief an architect would get, has its design in a real BIM model, and scores the result against the brief and against how architects review design. We're publishing the first results today, link below. Thank you @prashanthp at @Accel and Shub and the team at @foundamental for backing us when this was still a bet, and the Snaptrude team, who built every bit of this. Really proud of you all. Thanks to our investors, @scottbelsky, @andreasklinger, @thilokonzok, @immad, @CindyXBi, @DanilaVladi, @jmwass, rahulchaudhary, @adamecourt, Zach Ginsburg, Alex duff, Paul grossinger, really appreciate all the help along the way.

spent 40 minutes on the phone with my airline yesterday repeating my booking number to a bot that kept saying "sorry, I didn't catch that" meanwhile a 10 person team just shipped a voice model that looks stuff up and acts while you're still talking airlines please switch to Phonic-1

underrated detail about canva’s brush launch: earlier this year they had to slow down some AI rollouts because demand exploded that’s the real reason brush exists. a model built only for design editing, faster and cheaper than general-purpose alternatives, matching or beating their previous setup in internal testing at 265M monthly users, efficiency decides who gets AI and when

fastest way to spot an AI ad is still the text there's always a "LIMTED OFER" sticker somewhere and a font no brand on earth uses krea ad studio writes the headline in the brand's own font, so the hand wash one at the end reads like a real shop made it. curious if it holds up on smaller products first few ads are free, link below

the real cost in building design isn't the first sketch it's the client moving one staircase in week eight, and someone spending days updating every drawing by hand snaptrude agent works on projects already underway: you mark up the change, it tests the options, shows the impact and updates the full drawing set that's where the hours actually go try it: snaptrude.com

how most companies run AI agents right now: → agent uses the access of whoever set it up → nobody tracks what it touched → security says no to everything with Mintive: → each agent only gets what its job needs → every action is logged, person to agent to action → one policy across Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor congrats on the $11M 👏
🤝 Paid partnership
Every AI agent at work runs with the access of whoever set it up. That’s why security keeps saying no. Today we’re launching @mintive: every agent gets its own identity and permissions, the same way every employee does. We’ve raised $11M, with @cowboyvc leading our latest round.

Every Al game launch I've seen spikes and then breaks. RouterPlus lets you reserve capacity before the spike and keeps a backup provider warm.
AI teams overpay for inference twice: once for models bigger than they need, and again for idle capacity they don’t use. @useRouterPlus is the extended inference team for fast-growing AI companies. We test models and providers on your traffic and get providers to compete for your work. Make your inference better. Go to routerplus.com

OpenAI just got beaten at voice by 10 people. Not a lab with 1,000 researchers. 10. Phonic-1 took #1 on the speech-to-speech benchmarks, ahead of gpt-live-1. And it's $0.06/min. The voice agent shortlist just changed.

how most companies do AI right now: → rent one general model → pay full price for every call → hope it’s good at their use case what canva is doing: → craft, its own image model → brush, its own model for design editing → general models where they’re enough, owned models where it matters that’s how you keep an edge at 265M monthly users

not another AI that spits out a new design every time you ask for a change what canva's brush actually does: 1. reads how every element of your design fits together 2. plans the edit 3. restyles it, adapts it to a new format or updates every page 4. runs under the hood of canva AI, built by canva itself second in-house model in two weeks btw
