GPT-5.6 Sol is unbelievably good at creating and editing videos.
It can do motion design, product demos, and animations like this one I made by simply giving it a screen recording.
GPT 5.6 has the best design taste and significantly outperforms Fable, which relies heavily on repetitive design patterns.
To help you experiment with video editing on it, we just launched a collection of 100 ready-to-use skills that show what’s possible and help you get started with video editing using GPT-5.6.
These skills can create anything from motion graphics launch videos for your product to a 3B1B-style science explainer video.
You can also use them to edit existing videos: add captions, generate motion graphics, create voiceovers, redesign visual styles, translate into new languages, and much more.
If you want access to the full library, comment “VIDEO SKILLS” and I’ll share it with you. (You'll have to follow me so I can DM you.)

Sol, Terra, and Luna, our GPT‑5.6 family of models, are starting to roll out now in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API.

@devenmorgan @drivelinekyle Is it selling more bats or trying to get more kids to play with lighter bats.
English
@drivelinekyle This is not the right way to solve the problem I think they want to solve.

Imagine in HS playoffs facing a 19 year old "reclassed" 6'3" OF with 84 MPH bat speed wielding a 34/28 USABat concussing your third baseman via a 120 MPH line drive off his coconut.
Really great change here.

@NFHS_Org @USABasePipeline Additionally, USABats at -4, -5 and -6 drop weights will be legal for high school play starting in 2028.

@abarkett17 Seems like there would be a pretty small difference between the effort between those two, no?

@OC____ Max effort swings to achieve high exit velos every day is trending upward if not a way of life
Of course, people try to hit home, runs in batting practice for 100 years. Nobody’s arguing that.
English
Don’t really think players trying to hit bombs in BP in a new phenomenon at any age.
Just have a new boogie man to blame for it.
Andy Barkett@abarkett17
Talked to Manny Ramirez today about taking batting practice. He said today’s BP has become pull-side homers and exit velo. He and David Ortiz worked gap-to-gap. Middle of the field first. The home runs showed up on their own. That isn’t an accident. ⚾️ Habits are important!

Every time I watch MLB hitters take BP, I see the exact opposite of this. Hitters still very much work the middle, the gaps, etc. I honestly don’t see much difference between the BP of the early 2000s and the BP of today.

Can never really rule out an injury but if it’s been over this long of a time my bet would be he bought into the idea that he could still be successful at a lower velo and then did so.
But there is always a threshold where performance falls off in a jump.

The biggest difference today is the structured play. When kids are at the park and nobody is around, they play. When a kid doesn’t feel good throwing, he stops. Today every throw is at a structured practice, game, or pitching lesson. Let the kids play and they’ll be healthier.
Coach Beede@CoachBeede
A father told me his ten-year-old throws year-round on three teams. I asked what the rush was. A young arm does not bank innings, it spends them. Rest is not lost development. It is the development. The kids still pitching at eighteen are the ones who sat in the winter at ten.
English
@KyleUnitas You saying there are good and bad ways to do part practice correct? Depending on how it’s set up/coached etc
English
Part practice—but part of what? Is the thing being practised genuinely a separable component of a larger task, or is it an underlying ability with many possible applications? And what relationship is being assumed between improving it here and performance elsewhere?
English
A useful counterexample to the familiar caricature: movement stripped from context, atomized, and stitched back together.
English
Isn’t the error Bauers dropping the ball at first?
Reds Daily@RedsDaily4
Are the Brewers stat padding for their ace Jacob Misiorowski? This was clearly a hit, but the Brewers official scorer marked it as an error. As a result, Miz only had one earned run instead of FIVE. Hmmm. Makes you think for someone in NL CY Young Contention. What’s going on in Milwaukee?

A reminder that bat speed is, to a large extent, a timing metric
Early contact or short-swing means that we "stopped short" on the clock. Naturally, the speed won't be there... unless of course the batter TIMED the swing to want to make early contact
Be careful out there...
Jorge Arrate@JArrate25
I was interested in how Bat Speed and Swing Length intertwine with each other. Intuitively, it makes sense that a longer swing would result to higher speeds but could a short path and fast swing be the crown jewel. Notable takeways⬇️
English
Not too surprising but @LanceBroz pointed out that’s the type of arm the Cubs like

Nate Roper@NateRoper_
David Peterson made a HUGE change to his fastball! Peterson is essentially throwing a cutter! Typically he's at 13" of carry with 3" of arm-side run, but in the 1st inning he was at 10" of carry with 0" of arm-side. That's a major boost in stuff!
English
Weird stuff going on with Logan Gilbert's four-seam fastball...
Season avg: 95.5 mph, 16.9" iVB, 2,112 rpm
Last two starts: 96.3 mph, 18.3" iVB, 2,333 rpm
63%(!!) usage in his last two outings too, up from 33%. Spin/velocity + usage trendline below. Weird one! 🤔

A great piece today from @GeoffPontesBA on the Delano Bat craze that's happening this summer in amateur baseball.
Is it wood? Is it composite? How much does it cloud a scout's ability to project hitting skill and power? Is it legal? Should it be?

No one else had a high school coach who would ‘review’ the book a day or two after a game…

PSA: GameChanger stats… Pitch counts, strike outs, walks and runs scored are the only basic stats that can’t be manipulated. Unless of course the person running GC forgets to change pitchers or has the lineup wrong. If the person running it struggles to differentiate between hits and errors, passed balls and wild pitches, stolen bases and indifference, almost everything you see will be inaccurate. Batting average, ERA, hits, hits allowed, earned runs, RBI’s, they will all be skewed and sometimes in a big way. GC has become a source of tension in our youth game. If this is happening on your team, the easiest solution is to stop using it. If parents and coaches want stats, let them keep their own book.
