Eric is Daydreaming

Introducing Ponder: the agentic video editor. It’s a new paradigm for filmmaking, where powerful creative agents and humans collaborate to tell world-class stories. We're also announcing our $2.5M pre-seed, led by Liu Jiang from Sunflower (@seedtosunflower), with @Joshuabrowder and @MattHartman. Joined by @levie (Box), @emerywells (Frame), @JaredLeto, @CommaCapital, the @nyuniversity venture fund, @cory, @darian314, @shiffman, and many more incredible founders, investors, and creators.

Our friends at #CommonIndex just ran An Ecology of Beasts at Milan Design Week, a 7-day generative installation. The cartography piece in this video was generated in real time on Daydream's hosted StreamDiffusion, responding to people in the room and the weather outside. Here's the full story... 🧵

It's time to cancel your @OpusClip subscription. Use @claudeai to create 9:16 clips instead. Here's the super fast demo, while I get ready 💋

Hey, new Scope 0.2.3 is out, and here's what's worth pausing on: A/V model improvements, running on the @Livepeer network, billing and credits system in place, and more...) The clip below shows LTX-2.3 generating video and audio in a single pass, staying locked end-to-end throughout the session. That wasn't a given before this release. Sharing more details in our thread 🧵

We just raised $30M at a $500M valuation, bringing our total funding to $47M. Led by @craft_ventures , with @PaceCap , @chemistry , TruArrow, and others. But before anything else: this belongs to the community. ComfyUI started as one developer and one open-source repo. No roadmap. No company. Just creators who wanted real control over how they built with AI. That community is now: → 4 million users → 60,000+ community-built nodes → 150,000+ daily downloads Every number traces back to people who built in the open, for anyone to use. Here's where the funding goes: → Comfy Cloud: for teams and studios that need security and scale → Collaborative workflows: versioning and iteration built for how studios actually work → A better local experience: more seamless, more stable → Ecosystem reliability: making 60,000+ community nodes more dependable → Day-one model support: every major release, compatible at launch We are not building a walled garden. We are building open infrastructure, built to last. Thank you genuinely, The ComfyUI Team

Three variants, three use cases: ✅ XL Base — all tasks (extract, Lego, completion), high diversity, best for fine-tuning ✅ XL SFT — highest audio quality, CFG guidance scale control ✅ XL Turbo — 8-step distilled, fastest, no CFG (early release) All compatible with LM 0.6B / 1.7B / 4B. 🤖 Base: modelscope.ai/models/ACE-Ste… 🤖 SFT: modelscope.ai/models/ACE-Ste… 🤖 Turbo: modelscope.ai/models/ACE-Ste…

One release this week wasn't enough, apparently. Scope 0.2.1 is out! The default starter workflow now uses @LTXStudio LTX 2.3 text-to-video, so one of the first things you see when you open #Scope is real-time video generation from a prompt. No camera and no big setup needed. This builds directly on what BuffMcBigHuge showed earlier this week, running LTX in real time on a 4090.
