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.
Hiring a founding filmmaker/creator to tell banger stories with us in NYC.
You’ll be working with like minded filmmakers/creators every single day!
If you’re a filmmaker interested in startups, @PonderStudioAI is the best team to work with (i’m biased but this is objectively true)

Introducing ChatGPT for Dishwashing
GPT-6 achieves state-of-the-art results on dishwashing benchmarks for long-running jobs and difficult stains.
The Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem is a $1 million challenge about whether the equations describing fluid motion can break down. In this video, I accidentally found a counter-example while trying to optimize my dishwasher. But in reality, OpenAI used 10,000 AI agents to find a proof in 88 hours: openai.com/index/navier-stok…

We’re on a mission to build a billion AI models, not trained by us, but by you.
Introducing @bryel_labs we help your company build its in-house AI lab and give you the software to make model development and continual improvement simpler. We are backed by @ycombinator and have trained models at Apple, Framer, and F500s.
We’ve enabled companies to train:
• Classification models that are 20x faster
• Search models that cost 5x less.
• Long horizon agent models that match the frontier at 5-8x lower cost.
Are you interested in partnering with us? Reach out.

just edited 4 vlogs from last year that i’d been putting off forever in one sitting lol
what a time to be alive
i thought ai could imitate creativity. i didn’t think it could have taste
but these new models understand creative direction in ways i didn’t expect for years
claude is out here one shotting movies and we’ve just accepted that
really exciting times
this is crossing the line @Kalshi

downloading files isn’t cool
neither is waiting
don’t be the person slowing your team down – at San Francisco, CA
Agentic video editing will be THE NORM by the end of 2026
model capabilities are definitely there
we’ve been getting incredibly positive feedback from our users so far!
dm me if you spend 10+ hour a week editing and want to try something new
This is pretty cool, but @PonderStudioAI as an "assistant editor" still blows this out of the water
Real time generated pick your adventure movies just unlocked @gorkem
