Today is a big day for us. We've just released SOUL 2, the next generation of our flagship in-house image model. This is a product we've been working on for the past six months. A bit of backstory: when we released the first SOUL, the response was absolutely rewarding. It became the go-to model on our platform, and grew into a daily creative tool for hundreds of thousands of people. It was the first image model in the AI space that didn't have the "AI plasticity". It had taste, and we're happy that creators and brands have adopted it for real commercial work. To take that further, we've worked closely with creatives, art directors, photographers, stylists, and concept artists to build SOUL 2. They helped define what quality really means. We're very excited for beauty, fashion, and lifestyle brands to adopt Soul 2 for their ideation and photoshoot workflows. And with SOUL ID, we're opening that door even wider, now, anyone can be a model. Higgsfield built this to bring high-quality artistic taste to AI and let the two worlds elevate each other. To celebrate the launch, we're giving up to 5,000 free SOUL 2 generations per user, depending on your plan. Can't wait to see what you create.

Going from $100M to $200M run rate in two months doesn't happen alone. We have incredible partners behind us.

Congrats to @alexmashrabov for scaling @higgsfield_ai from 0 to $100M last year, 2x in last 2 months, and announcing your $80M latest round at $1.3B 🚀🚀 Proud to have led the seed. 15M users generate 4.5M videos a day and now they’ve cracked enterprise x.com/higgsfield_ai/…

Exciting update: Coinbase has partnered with @perplexity_ai to help traders get access to real-time trusted crypto data/info for better decision making. The first stage is going live today, and there's more to come: Phase 1 (now): Perplexity is now ingesting our market data, including COIN50, and using it to power market analysis. Users can double click into price moves to help make better informed trade decisions. The demo below shows what it looks like on Comet, Perplexity’s new browser. Also, the Perplexity team shared that just as many users are looking up crypto as equities, which is a cool stat. Crypto is going mainstream. Phase 2 (soon): Coinbase’s market data will be used in Perplexity’s responses to user queries. Traders will be able to monitor market activity, screen for trade ideas, and analyze token-specific moves in an AI-powered conversational interface. This integration was made seamless by our @CoinbaseDev platform. Love to see more use cases here! I expect enhanced crypto functionality will be a catalyst for AI to achieve another 10x unlock. Personally I’m most excited to see crypto wallets fully integrated into LLMs one day. That will be a huge step towards a permissionless, digital economy. And today, this new access to reliable real-time data via increasingly intelligent LLMs will help lots more people make smart, informed decisions about crypto. It’s a great step forward! @AravSrinivas and the team at Perplexity are amazing - I’m excited to be starting this journey with them.
