Just became fastest in the world with video by 10x, faster than realtime

open source might be having a comeback

@ArtificialAnlys @nvidia wow impressive

NVIDIA's Cosmos 3 lands at #1 among open weights models in both Text to Image and Image to Video on the Artificial Analysis Leaderboards! Cosmos 3 is a family of omnimodal world models for Physical AI from @nvidia, unifying language, image, video, audio and action in a single Mixture-of-Transformers architecture that pairs an autoregressive reasoner with a diffusion generator. The family comes in four variants: base Nano (16B: 8B reasoner tower + 8B generator tower) and Super (64B: 32B reasoner tower + 32B generator tower) models, with the Super model also having Text2Image and Image2Video fine-tuned variants, which are the versions listed in the Artificial Analysis Arena Leaderboards. Cosmos3-Super-Text2Image (agentic) runs through an agentic prompt-upsampling harness, and takes the #1 open weights spot in Text to Image, surpassing HiDream-O1-Image-Dev-2604, Alibaba's Qwen Image Max 2512 and Black Forest Labs' FLUX.2 [dev]. Cosmos3-Super-Image2Video takes #1 open weights in Image to Video (No Audio), ahead of Lightricks' LTX-2, and Alibaba's Wan 2.2 A14B. Cosmos 3 generators take structured JSON prompts rather than plain text, so prompt upsampling is needed to reproduce these results. This upsampling can be handled by an external harness or by the model's own reasoner branch, so it can also run self-contained. Cosmos 3 is fully open under the OpenMDW 1.1 license, shipping with weights, code, curated datasets and fine-tuning recipes available on @huggingface. First-party and third-party APIs are expected over the next few weeks, with pricing to follow. See the thread below for example generations and a link to try Cosmos 3 in our arena 🧵

@MParakhin @AnnaVDorogush and team are amazing

Recraft, my ex-colleagues, keep punching above their weight - #1 independent, #3 after OpenAI and Google.

@nikitabier @ritwikpavan $2k wtf?

@ritwikpavan Sterling Pacific is the greatest suitcase I’ve ever owned.

need suitcase recs. what i’m looking for: - removable laptop sleeve - fits 7–10 days of clothes - high quality for regular travel - compact and not too heavy what would you recommend?

in the past couple years china transformed from having old gas cars to dominated by modern electric cars, can't believe how big the scale

@exQUIZitely i share this but also a similar but different feeling with everquest

The last "modern" game I ever played was World of Warcraft, from 2004 to 2010, the end of Wrath of the Lich King. I know there were MMORPGs before (and after), but when the original World of Warcraft launched in 2004, it felt closer to "perfection" than any game before or since. Nothing has changed that feeling to this day. What changed was the game itself after the death of Arthas in Wrath of the Lich King. The original WoW felt so vast, so open, and so alive - it’s hard to put into words. There was no hardcore min-maxing yet (at least not to the same degree as today), no speedruns, no parsing record chasing, no gear score requirements in the early days. If you were really pro, you connected with friends or guildies via Ventrilo. There was no WeakAuras, no threat meters, no Questie guiding you. You quickly learned that even the most expensive vendor gear was trash compared to quest rewards. You had to walk from Elwynn Forest to the Redridge Mountains - and if you dared peek across the river into Duskwood, the spiders there would one-shot you (I’m sure we all did that). The first time you equipped a green item! The first time you swapped it for a blue! And the envy of seeing someone with purple gear, omg! Saving up for a mount and the catharsis when you could finally afford one! The first time you entered the Deadmines, the foolish solo attempt on Hogger only to realize instantly it was a death sentence. Stepping into Alterac Valley battlegrounds and being in awe of its size. Wiping on Ragnaros again and again before finally killing him, and the sheer joy of celebrating together with your guild. The excitement and awe of entering Naxxramas for the first time, struggling to down Patchwerk, the teamwork, the slow progress, seeing Sapphiron dead on the frozen ground and being moments away from Kel’Thuzad… so close! It truly felt like a massive world - not just in size, but in stories. The announcement of The Burning Crusade and the Dark Portal appearing in the Blasted Lands; you couldn’t wait to walk through it. Then the ultimate climax when Wrath of the Lich King launched, eventually facing the most badass character in gaming history: Arthas. World of Warcraft was magic. Until it wasn’t. Just like Blizzard was once the greatest game studio of all - until they weren’t. Warcraft used to be tough, glorious and epic... now it's pink Disney fluff. Nothing has recaptured that feeling from 2004 to 2010. I wonder if anything ever will again. I sometimes watch the trailer of the original WoW. It still hits close to the (gamer) heart…

Thank you to the @alibaba_cloud team for hosting me today! Excited to deepen our partnership

@kylegawley is this what they mean by touch grass

Having beers with friends is good for your health

@cremieuxrecueil that's it? he needs moar juice

Holy shit the record actually was 20.88 and this guy got 20.81. The Enhanced Games actually did it!

@ryenduu right now! come meet me after 4 near city center? dm?

@mavady when r u here!

shanghai i am in u.

@Winterrose used to trade sleep to hit world records raiding, those were the days

WoW is the hardest addiction ive ever conquered (there's plenty I havent conquered but still)

@ilyasu how about command and conquer red alert

Very disappointed to learn that my boys do not appreciate Mortal Kombat II. Devastating.

@ycombinator @revnu_app @artfreebrey 🔥

Revnu (@revnu_app) makes growth a solved problem. With AI now anyone can build a product, but with Revnu anyone can sell it. You never have to hire a growth person again. Technical teams focus on building, while Revnu handles the rest. Congrats on the launch, @artfreebrey & @GeorgeJeffersn! ycombinator.com/launches/QS8-r…

@Sirupsen epic dude!!

turbopuffer crossed $100M run-rate in March. 19mo after $1M. Profitable & <$1M raised. Cursor・Anthropic・Notion・Cognition・Harvey・Bridgewater・Ramp・Linear・Legora・Superhuman・Atlassian・Granola We’d be nowhere without them. We work like hell to exceed their expectations.

That’s how we do it:)
