Episodes

  1. Can AI Edit Videos like a Pro?

    We gave Higgsfield's new Katana a 21 Savage music video and screenshots from our boring, static-camera Canada vlog. It rebuilt the vlog in that style, with a boat shot and a drone shot we never filmed. It also burned 3,000 credits, half our monthly plan. We show the horrible first attempt, the...

  2. GPT-6 ASTRA turned a FLOOR PLAN into a 3D House in Blender

    Claude Opus 5.5 just dropped, so we put it against GPT-6 Astra on our own benchmark. It modelled, textured, rigged and animated an octopus in Blender from scratch in about two hours, then tried to rebuild the same Vancouver building Astra nailed two weeks ago. Then the big one: we spent three…

    more

  3. You can now make your own Higgsfield? 👀😮

    Higgsfield says it open-sourced its 5.4 billion dollar app. It's fake. We went into the GitHub and all you get is a thin UI that calls their paid API. No weights, no training, no way to build anything without paying them. We break down what they actually released and how creator networks make a...

  4. Create UNLIMITED Camera Angles with AI 🤯

    You can now shoot one angle and generate the rest. AI multicam turns a single talking-head recording into side shots, close-ups, overheads and drone moves with Seedance 2.5, and we break down how creators are doing it, the two-camera trick that stops close-ups from morphing, and how much AI…

    more

  5. We used GPT-6 + Blender & Unreal Engine to recreate a HOUSE Listing in 3D 🚀

    We spent 48 hours training GPT-6 Astra to make motion graphics in After Effects, and then had it recreate Higgsfield and Iman Gadzi style animations from scratch, with pre-training and post-training versions side by side so you can see what it took. Then we took a real Zillow listing and had…

    more

  6. GPT-6 Astra just stole my job? 🤯

    GPT-6 Astra is out, and it is the first frontier model to put 3D front and centre. We got access two hours before the show, so we photographed a building across the street on an iPhone, gave Astra one short prompt, and watched it take over the computer and rebuild the whole block in Blender,...

  7. NVDIA DLSS 5: Game Changer or SLOP?

    Matt Workman, creative technologist at fal, joins us to break down H3 Max, the model that makes 15 second AI videos in 5 seconds, and fal.live, a livestream where viewers prompt what happens next in real time. We get into how DLSS 5 actually works before its release with NBA 2K27, why the leaked...

  8. This is the FASTEST AI Video model [MINMAX H3 MAX]

    AI video had a speed problem. The best paid models take a minute or two per clip, and running one free on our own machine took us 20 minutes. Now there is a version that makes a 15 second clip in about five seconds, and we tested it against real Seedance shots using their exact prompts. Then ZAI...

  9. Seedance 2.5 vs FREE Local AI Video model 🤯

    OpenAI announced an ultra fast mode for GPT Sol 5.6 running at 14 times the speed, and the benchmark numbers are hard to believe. Then the main event: Higgsfield open-sourced the prompts and references behind their two million dollar AI feature film, so we took those exact shots and recreated…

    more

  10. NEW AI + 3D Model RESULTS are Unreal 🤯

    For years the objection to AI 3D was that it could not make clean, production-ready topology. That objection is falling fast, and we show the wireframes to prove it. In a surprise move, Kitbash and Greyscale Gorilla just bought Sketchfab and ArtStation from Epic Games. We tested Grok Imagine…

    more

  11. Can this SOLVE control in AI VIDEOS?

    Autodesk Flow Studio just released 3D Editor and Canvas which is a world generation, character creation, motion capture, and camera animation tool brought into one web-based editor, and we rebuilt a full previs from a single Red Dead Redemption image to test it. Seedance 2.5 is finally on all...

  12. 3D Artists React to Ramayana 🤯

    ConnectedClaude to Unreal Engine, and everyone asked the same thing: how much did it cost? So this time we tried a free local model running on our own machines, no subscription and no data leaving the computer. The result taught us exactly what you are really paying for with Claude and ChatGPT....

  13. We Tested Seedance 2.5 (Honest Review)

    Seedance 2.5 launched exclusively through CapCut, so we bought an account and pushed it through real editing tests, swapping a can, changing a body, and moving the camera, and we show the wins and the failures. Flux 3.0 Preview got the exact same prompt through the Hermes agent, and the results...

  14. We Connected Blender to a Real-time AI Model 👀

    We connected Blender to Decart's Lucy 2.5 and used it as a live AI rendering engine, controlling an untextured mannequin on one side while the AI rendered a fully realized character on the other in real time. Augmental's MouthPad turns the roof of your mouth into a trackpad you control with your...
