@altryne @WolframRvnwlf @petergostev Happy to do it this week or when you're back. Whatever works for you.

yeee, love this! I'm not doing the show this week (40th birthday trip to CA) but pinging in case @WolframRvnwlf would like to cover and have a guest interview will ya Christian? We covered Reve quite a bit on the show, @petergostev came with breaking news last week that yall are #2 on arena!

Another preview of one of the many things we'll be launching this week at Reve.

dudes are chilling

@TomLikesRobots Interesting. That hadn't occurred to me. I wonder if I'm just now noticing it or is it becoming increasingly popular. This is the third time I've seen it in the last few weeks.

@cantrell I think some people do it as an interior design choice. Neurodivergence avoiding too much stimulation?

The last couple of weeks at Reve have been about model releases. This coming week will be about the product, and it will be our biggest week ever. Here's a little preview. Buckle up...

Stepping over ourselves to reach second place again. Narrowing the gap to #1.

Reve 2.1 is the world's best 4K image model, full stop.

The image space continues to be dynamic. Just 24 hours after Reve 2.0 was displaced on the leaderboards, we are back in second place with Reve 2.1. Reve 2.1 plans images in significantly more detail and renders them with better precision. From now on, we plan to release models on a monthly cadence — and to continue climbing the leaderboards with every release.

Reve 2.1 is here. The world’s best 4K image model just got better. Greater prompt understanding, world knowledge, and stronger foreign-text rendering.

@jnack Hurts every time.

@cantrell It's the little "owie" hand shake that sells it for me. 😌

What I thought would be a quick test of Gemini Omni video editing in itr8.ai turned out to be a pretty wild study in agentic creative processes. (1 of 3)

itr8.ai makes the inevitable (and far too frequent) Fable 5 false-positive refusals much easier to manage. Submit is a split button that allows you to easily switch to Opus to finish the round, then switch back to have Fable review (and continue).

The itr8.ai mission is "Infinite workflows composed from primitives orchestrated through collaborative intelligence." It works.

Omni wouldn't generate the critical extension and retraction snikt sound effects, so eventually the itr8 agent gave up on Omni and: - Used @ElevenLabs to generate two different audio effects ("sharp metallic SNIKT, three steel blades unsheathing, no reverb tail" and "metallic sheathing SNIKT, blades sliding back in"). - Used ffmpeg to turn the video into a contact sheet, burning the timestamp into each frame. - Handed the contact sheet to Gemini (knowing Gemini has better vision) and asked it to identify which frame first shows the claws extending and which frame first shows them retracting. - Mixed the audio and video together with ffmpeg again. - Gave the video back to Gemini to evaluate (since Gemini can natively accept video).

@katedeyneka Yup, this is pretty much how I spent my holiday. A great way to celebrate America IMO.

missed all the 4th of July parties and fireworks this year because we had to finalize the new app version and I think it was totally worth it 👀 stay tuned!

Gemini Omni in itr8.ai. My first test of media editors is always: can they turn me into Wolverine?

Adding @OpenRouter support to itr8.ai, initially for GLM 5.2 — our first Chinese model. I'm excited to take it for a spin!

The finished product. Very nice. Very transparent. Highly optimized.

Fable 5 continues to impress. I'm adding very sophisticated context/caching logic to itr8.ai to keep costs as low as possible. This is an SVG mockup from Fable showing the new Cache Economics field we're adding to round metadata. Fable both sees and draws extremely well.

@_catwu A canvas-based agent harness. It is, in fact, building itself.

What are you building with Fable 5 this long weekend? Show me your demos in the replies!
