I had a chance to get my hands on the Duo yesterday at a workshop in Mexico.
I had adapted my app Wakeout using the simulator weeks prior, but devs, I have to tell you, it's a totally different beast once you get your hands on it, and will require rethinking of your entire app experience.
For one, I think supporting all poses will be crucial. The Duo in my hands felt whimsical, like you want to change its orientation all the time, open it, stand it up, tent it, keep it half folded, etc. Each orientation and pose offers new opportunities for interaction. I suspect a lot of Duo users will keep it on their desk propped up.
Secondly, it feels like it will especially benefit apps that can be used hands free. Exercise apps, entertainment apps, and apps that can be voice or camera controlled from a short distance feel advantageous in the Duo. This is because it can stay upright in a variety of poses. I can see this being great for learning where you talk with an AI teacher, for example.
Finally, it does feel niche. While playing with it, I kept asking myself who is the Duo for? Perhaps the answer is related to the second point above: a future of interactions where we don't touch our phones, but talk to them. For now, this means power users, techies, enthusiasts. In the near future, even grandmama.
But this doesn't mean you shouldn't put in a week to relayout your app for Duo--just the exercise of adapting our apps to a the new 1.4:1 aspect ratio, especially the outer tiny screen, will expand what you think your apps can do. This alone is worth it.
Good luck out there devs!

One of the most universal causes of self-doubt and depression: trying to impress people you don’t like.
Less than an hour since Haiku 5.5 came out, already in 2 of my apps. It's fast, cheap, and... creative! Getting really fun variety where variety is needed. Much more creative than Luna, at similar price and speed.
What a great model, congrats!

Introducing FLUX 3 Action.
An open weights 7B World Action Model that achieves first place on the RoboLab benchmark.
It outperforms the previous best open model by 6.1 percentage points while using 56% fewer parameters and running up to 3.95x faster.
FLUX 3 Action removes the usual trade-off between world action model performance and VLA speed: it still predicts video and actions together, but plans more than twice as far ahead and runs faster per second of robot motion than the strongest open VLA.
Teams can fine-tune FLUX 3 Action on their own demonstrations to create policies for a particular robot and task. Together with @nvidia, we also integrated FLUX 3 Action natively into @huggingface's LeRobot, with fine-tuning recipes included and edge deployment on NVIDIA Jetson.
Beyond robotics, we’re also seeing promising results training task-specific policies for acting in simulated environments like gaming, controlling a vehicle, computer use, and wherever else a model needs to understand a visual environment and then choose what to do next.
FLUX 3 Action builds on the same image, video, and audio pretraining as FLUX 3, but uses a smaller architecture designed for practical deployment. In midtraining, we trained the model to predict actions and future frames together.
We’re releasing the weights, code, fine-tuning recipe, benchmarks, and reproducible examples so researchers and developers can build on the model with their own robots, environments, and tasks (see below).

We just launched what I believe is the best video model in the world.
• Faster than real-time generation at both 480p and 768p
• SOTA-level quality, built on MiniMax H3
• Prompt upsampling in ~1 second
This was a massive ML + engineering achievement by the @PrunaAI team.
And somehow, what we’re shipping next week is even more exciting.
Today, we launch P-Video-2-Pro, based on MiniMax H3: The best quality. The best speed.
Text or image in. Video and audio out.
• 𝗜𝗻𝗽𝘂𝘁: Text or first-frame image, with optional last-frame conditioning
• 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱: ~2.0s for a 5s clip at 480p · ~4.3s at 768p in Speed mode
• 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴: From $0.02/s Speed · $0.04/s Quality
• 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀: Speed or Quality
• 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: First and last frame, seed, aspect ratio, and prompt upsampling with Off, Turbo, or Max
Available via our inference partners @replicate, @Cloudflare, @eachlabs, @scenario_gg, @TellersAI, @wavespeed_ai, @wiroai, @runware, and @togethercompute
Validated by our benchmark partners @datapointai, @RapidataAI, and @DesignArena. Benchmarks to be released soon 👀

Wanted to share my first ever game credits. It's a simple concept but yet gratifying. The game mechanics are simple. Its more like a screen saver you leave open and feel the sounds play in the background. However you can definitely interact using WASD. Press M to silence the music. There is no real objective but to chill and enjoy the sounds.
The sounds were made with Omnisphere, Sine Player (marimba and celeste), FabFilter Twin 3 and Serum. The song is in the key of EMaj so the sounds were made with tones 1, 3, and 5 to enhance the harmonic context. Some of the sounds are chords in said tonalities. The objective is to send positive vibes and waves your way and I surely hope this worked.
Please give it a go and lemme know what you think!

Testing out a new, extremely simple landing page designed for speed. The idea is to make disposable list creation insanely fast. Input is auto-focused as soon as the page is loaded. #buildinpublic
