NEWer and SHORTer for those of us with ADD, here is a fast cut of the most entertaining #Robots in the business! Please enjoy this 30 sec version of @AndyRobot reel, staring his @ABBRobotics and @KUKAGlobal bots doing their thing. Full version here, youtu.be/8M4hj6S7MUc

📢 Eyeline Labs and Netflix’s latest research, 🎥Vista4D🎥, accepted at #CVPR2026 as a 🌟Highlight🌟 paper, advances virtual cinematography and scene control with video generation. 🎥 Vista4D synthesizes the dynamic scene represented by an input video from novel camera trajectories and viewpoints by grounding video generation in a 4D point cloud. Our method maintains geometric and physical plausibility under imprecise 4D reconstruction of real-world videos. 🎥 Vista4D unlocks video reshooting beyond camera control. By directly editing the 4D point cloud, our method preserves scene information from casual captures and enables 4D scene editing and recomposition. This work is part of the ongoing research and development at @eyelinestudios and @netflix, and we look forward to seeing its techniques and workflows adopted in future productions. ✊ Kudos to the team: @kuanhenglin, Zhizheng Liu, @pablosalamancal, @yash2kant, @RyanBurgert, @Yuancheng_Xu0, @Koichi_N_, Yiwei Zhao, @zhoubolei, @micahgoldblum, @debfx, @realNingYu 📰 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2604.21915 🌐 Project: eyeline-labs.github.io/Vista4D/ ⌨️ Code: github.com/Eyeline-Labs/V…

@BryanNHolt The new tools and models make VFX fun again. Honestly excited to work on the computer again, reminds me of early VFX learning.

Hey uhhh. Anybody have any thoughts on AI in VFX?

Made my first useful app with @cursor_ai. This will read a directory of image files, run them through Vision model either Gemini with API key, or LM Studio for local, then rename the files based on what the image is. github.com/jontojek/ai-im…

If you're a Blender user and you want to explore how you can use AI to expand your workflows, and you're tired of being yelled at, let's talk! 🧊 🪄 Blockout -> Render 🧊 Mesh Generation (High and Lowpoly) 🧱 Texture Generation 🧈 Smart Retopology 🦴 Rigging 🏃‍♂️ Motion Capture

@PurzBeats Great timing, I am just starting with this. Installed the blender_orchestrator github repo, started the server from Blender, and then let Claude Cowork start making stuff. But of course ran out of credits fast, next will look into local LLM. For sure want to see what others do

🚨 Someone reverse-engineered the design systems of Apple, Spotify, Airbnb, and 30+ billion-dollar companies. Packed each one into a single file. Free. It's called Awesome Design MD. Drop one file into your project. Your AI agent builds UI that looks like Spotify. Or Apple. Or Airbnb. Instantly. Not screenshots. Not Figma links. A single DESIGN .md file that captures every color, font, spacing value, button style, and layout pattern from a real website. In a format AI agents read and reproduce. Here's the difference: Tell Claude Code "build me a landing page" and it gives you generic UI. Tell Claude Code "build me a landing page" with Spotify's DESIGN .md in your project and it gives you Spotify. Here's what's inside: → Apple. Premium white space, SF Pro typography, cinematic imagery. → Spotify. Vibrant green on dark, bold type, album-art-driven layout. → Airbnb. Warm coral accent, photography-driven, rounded UI. → Linear. Ultra-minimal, precise spacing, purple accent. → SpaceX. Stark black and white, full-bleed imagery, futuristic. → BMW. Dark premium surfaces, precise German engineering aesthetic. → NVIDIA. Green-black energy, technical power aesthetic. → Uber. Bold black and white, tight type, urban energy. → Sentry, PostHog, Raycast, Cursor, ElevenLabs, and 20+ more. Here's how to use it: → Pick a design system from the collection → Copy the DESIGN .md file into your project root → Tell your AI agent to use it → Get UI that matches the design language of a billion-dollar company That's it. One file. Your AI agent now has the design taste of a $200/hour design consultant. Designers charge $5,000+ for a custom design system. Companies spend $50,000+ building one from scratch. This is free. 31 design systems. Copy. Paste. Ship beautiful UI. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any AI coding agent that reads project files. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

@sainimatic @cristobalvila Very funny! I create VFX/AI images at an ad agency that does a lot of print and retouching work, and for sure some variation of this discussion happens weekly.

"just set it to 4000x4000" "ok but what DPI" "doesn't matter" "is 300 DPI ok?" "doesn't matter" "how many inches? should I set cm or inches?" "whatever you want. doesn't matter." "but how -" "just set it to 4000x4000"

@ostrisai @artificialguybr @Lightricks @ltx_model I will be trying this again Monday!

AI Toolkit now supports fine tuning @Lightricks @ltx_model LTX 2.3. As always, let me know if you run into any issues. github.com/ostris/ai-tool…

Before you spend $2,000 on an AI course, read this. A lot of people are buying expensive AI courses right now. But honestly, most of them don’t need to. Some of the best AI learning resources in the world are already free. And they’re not built by self-proclaimed AI experts online.They’re created by the companies actually building the models, chips, tools, and infrastructure behind this entire AI wave. If you want to learn AI properly, it makes sense to learn directly from the source. But before that, Check out 100+ such resources shared in this community of 200K+ AI/ML Engineers: codenewsletter.ai/subscribe?utm_… Here's a list of 10 free AI learning platforms from industry leaders: 𝟭 - 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: lnkd.in/e5fK7QUA 𝟮 - 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲: grow.google/ai 𝟯 - 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮: lnkd.in/et6wz-ta 𝟰 - 𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗔: lnkd.in/e8aHmFxc (GOATed) 𝟱 - 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁: lnkd.in/ej85NeZc 𝟲 - 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜: academy.openai.com 𝟳 - 𝗜𝗕𝗠: skillsbuild.org 𝟴 - 𝗔𝗪𝗦: skillbuilder.aws 𝟵 - 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗔𝗜: deeplearning.ai 𝟭𝟬 - 𝗛𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲: lnkd.in/eajVCrvv If you’re serious about learning AI, the biggest difference usually comes from consistency, not another course.

Testing of the Webcam Capture node in #ComfyUI , using the Flux2_Klein_4b_fp8 model for speed, about 3 frames per second. The setup is simple, use the default template for Flux.2 [Klein] 4B Distilled: Image Edit, throw away the input image and replace with Webcam Capture node.

New Howard Marks memo oaktreecapital.com/docs/default-s…

Everyone is asking: "Is Jane Street why Bitcoin isn't at $150k?" As expected, the answer is trickier than the question. But it's also more structurally unsettling than the conspiracy theory itself—and once you understand the actual mechanics, you won't be able to unsee them👇

Filmmaker David Lynch's Diagram for Transcendental Consciousness is one of the greatest, easiest to understand explanations for how our reality is made of MIND first, MATTER second. I promise this is genuinely worth your time. It's fantastic.

New art project. Train and inference GPT in 243 lines of pure, dependency-free Python. This is the *full* algorithmic content of what is needed. Everything else is just for efficiency. I cannot simplify this any further. gist.github.com/karpathy/8627f…

100%! The number one way to protect your career from AI is to be the most aggressive user of AI in your field. RUN AT IT. Humans evolve with their tools. Keep evolving.

Excited to share something I've been working on. 3 years of color tools. 2 months building this. Supa Colors generates palettes where every shade looks balanced — visually, not just mathematically. Really proud of it. 🔗 supacolors.studio
