We threw a banger metal set in an old zepto dark store. Thanks to everyone who raged out with us.

.@localhosthq website got a facelift

Finding the right soundtrack for a scene is still weirdly hard. Adithya is trying to fix that. Introducing taan, it watches your video and generates music around how the scene actually feels.

@krea_ai this is the Krea feature we’ve wanted for a while film work breaks when character, costume, texture, and visual taste have to hold across a real sequence curious if Krea 2 LoRAs are stronger for identity, style, or both worth exploring a small creator partner pilot?

introducing LoRAs for Krea 2 (beta). our most powerful fine-tuning system to date; now you can train Krea 2 on a your own specific style, object, or character with incredible precision. learn how it works 👇

@alexmashrabov exactly why I wanted to ask you directly. We are building LocalHost / Cinematics Research from India: one serious AI film each week with filmmaker pods. We are trying to get Higgsfield credits/support so these teams can stress test it in real production, not just trailer demos. Could I DM you context?

@amywumartin @higgsfield_ai @alexmashrabov that compute line is the real story here. past trailers, the hard part is not generating one good shot. it is having enough attempts to keep a film coherent for 90 minutes.

The future of AI film just debuted at Cannes. @higgsfield_ai’s first full length demon action flick is 95 min, cost $500k and 14 days of production by 15 professionals. Congrats to @alexmashrabov and the team!

@wavespeed_ai the multi-avatar conversations are what i want to test. we've been trying to do interview-style ai films and keeping identity consistent across cuts has been the actual problem.

Skywork AI Models are now available on WaveSpeedAI. Powered by SkyReels V3, the collection includes: 🎬 Video Extension Extend existing clips while preserving motion, style, and scene continuity. 🖼️ Reference-to-Video Generate videos from reference images with strong identity and composition consistency. 🧑‍💼 Single-Avatar Video Create AI presenter and talking avatar videos for education, marketing, and social content. 👥 Multi-Avatar Video Generate conversations, interviews, and multi-character scenes. Built for creators, developers, and AI video applications building scalable content workflows.

@capcutapp @GeminiApp this is the part filmmakers will feel first staying inside the same conversation trying a cut fixing the frame shipping the next version we are seeing this pressure with ai film teams in india already

CapCut is partnering with @GeminiApp . Soon, users will be able to edit images and videos directly within the Gemini app using CapCut’s advanced creative and editing capabilities. As creative workflows become more connected and seamless, we believe the future of creation will be more conversational, intuitive, and intelligently integrated across tools and experiences. This is just the beginning.

@gcwalther_x @AdobeFirefly this workflow is useful beyond portraits we are testing firefly with filmmakers in india right now photo to motion is where a lot of memory based scenes start to open up curious if the ambassador route ever looks at small film teams

@ShafinskaVita @HeyGen congrats vita we are building a weekly ai film slate in india heygen is already useful for a few of the filmmakers curious how the ambassador route works is it application based or does the team route creators in directly

I’m excited to share that I’ve officially become an Official Ambassador of @HeyGen 🚀 As a creator with 700k+ followers and founder building GCreators AI OS for creators, my mission: 👉 empower creators with technology that expands creativity, scalability, and global reach.

@ephemeralariel @upscaleconf @magnific this is useful timing we are putting together a small weekly ai film slate in india magnific keeps coming up whenever a frame needs to feel intentional curious if the creative partner route is mostly application based or if someone from the team routes people in

bay area and creative friends✨ i’ll be at @upscaleconf this year with @magnific 💛 as a creative partner i have a 50% off code to share with friends if anyone’s interested: ARIELUPSCALESF50 🔗 upscaleconf.com/?discount=ARIE…

@EricKerArt quality over tricks is the right read. the fun part fades fast. what lasts is whether the tool lets you make the next directing decision without losing the shot.

Reminds me of when Runway Aleph was released. It was fun for a couple of days but in the end what we needed was quality more than tricks.

we got some of the most locked in founders from india, all building from one floor in bengaluru. over the last few weeks, they’ve made some insane progress and built alongside other founders. hear from them.

NodeOps joins @localhosthq as an infrastructure and deployment partner. LocalHost runs a two-month, full-time program for unconventional builders. Founders join at no cost and get access to a hardware lab, media studio, accommodation, and a focused cohort to build alongside. The program ends with a final demo attended by leading founders and investors across the Bangalore ecosystem. NodeOps is proud to support the next cohort with $30,000 in combined infrastructure support. Here’s how it works: → $15,000 shared CreateOS credit pool for LocalHost HQ teams → $15,000 additional deployment support for 2–3 standout projects If you're building with @localhosthq, you now get: → Free CreateOS credits to deploy immediately → Full-stack deployment support across frontend, backend, APIs, and databases → Security scanning and launch readiness checks → Templates to go live faster → Direct access to NodeOps engineering support Great ideas should not stall at deployment. $30,000 in infrastructure support for the next wave of builders, from prototype to production.

kicked off the founders program today. 30 founders in the room, chosen from 1k who applied.

every once in a while, i read something like this in our applications. some people just think differently.

hosted the ai film hackathon in 🇯🇵 tokyo huge thanks to everyone who showed up : ) we’re gearing up for a 500-person tokyo AI × Film Festival this august. stay tuned!
