AI video models are cracked. The generation isn't.
HeyGen just released its video model.
MiniMax H3 underneath, post-trained by HeyGen.
A 30-second clip at $0.01/s is $0.30.
Nobody goes broke on one generation.
You go broke on the retries.
The clip that's off-brand.
The wrong voice.
The one that's fine but you'd never post.
Every one of those is credits in the trash, and they add up way faster than the price per second says.
Three things decide if a generation gets posted or trashed.
The context
A model that doesn't know your brand, your audience, what you posted last week and what flopped gives you something generic. So you regenerate. Then again.
Context-aware means brand, voice, past posts and platform go in before the first generation, not after the fifth retry.
The harness
The model is one piece. The harness is everything around it: which model for which job, the prompt, the references, the checks before a human sees anything, what happens when it fails.
HeyGen just showed it.
Same base model anyone can call, post-trained and wrapped for one job.
Same model, bad harness, you get slop.
Good harness, you get something you'd actually post.
The analytics
Code has tests. Content has nothing until you publish.
Then you get the real signal: views, replies, follows, clicks. That's the reward for the agent.
Most tools generate, publish and forget, so tomorrow's batch is as blind as today's.
Post-publish analytics are the RL for content.
What worked goes back into the context.
What flopped gets killed.
Every post should make the next one cheaper.
We still need to crack better context, better harness, better RL.
We're releasing HeyGen Video, built for businesses that need production-quality video without production-level costs.
Pricing starts at $0.01/s through October (50% off)
Built on @Minimax_AI H3, post-trained by HeyGen.

With Fable 5.1 and GPT Astra out, SaaS needs a new business model.
Seats and training aren’t enough. If you don’t price the output, you’re still selling hope.
AGI killed the pure subscription. Align to performance or die slow.
Can someone take over @FlashTrade ?

🔴 Claude Fable 5 is OUT!
Last week, we one-shot a FPS.
Today, we are building an AI-native Game studio.
Going LIVE NOW!

It should have been crypto first, from a crypto native company
Today, we’re launching the @link wallet for agents. It lets you securely empower agents to spend on your behalf. Your payment credentials are never exposed and you approve every purchase.

If Vercel can get popped, whats gonna happen when agents start hunting DeFi apps?
No env var rotation fixes a drained vault.
We’ve identified a security incident that involved unauthorized access to certain internal Vercel systems, impacting a limited subset of customers. Please see our security bulletin:

I’m French. I know what a riot looks like.
You can hate AI all you want. There’s too much money on the table for this to go backwards.

Yo VCs, we are actively raising money.
(PD: It's a love story)
Context:
I'm an entrepreneur. I've built @smithiitools and scaled it to $2M in revenue, but it's my first time raising.
> We are building Lince, a Consumer App Targeting Europeans
Why?
In December 2024, when I was buying my engagement ring, I spent hours talking with the owner of the jewelry store.
Long story short:
He was like, " What is a 20-year-old buying a diamond for a proposal?", so I pitched him DeFi.
He ended up asking me to manage part of his money in DeFi to show him how it works.
> That was my aha moment.
> Most Europeans keep their savings in accounts yielding under 0.5%, well below inflation.
And DeFi has proven it can generate consistent yield, but it remains inaccessible to mainstream users. Also, there are a few EURC opportunities.
> Lince bridges this gap.
Users deposit euros and receive a seamless savings experience.
> The core of the product is our Smart Risk Engine: a hybrid system that continuously monitors Solana DeFi protocols and rebalances capital in real time based on yield opportunities and risk signals, optimizing for capital preservation and stability, not just maximum APY.
> We've already validated the Smart Risk Engine through our existing Solana DeFi yield product, which has +2,000 users and $1M in deposits.
> Europe = Regulations.
The compliance layer is built on regulated infrastructure from day one, while we validate Product Market Fit: Bridge handles fiat rails, KYC, and IBAN connectivity; Privy manages non-custodial wallets and user authentication. Then, regulation through an EMI License comes as the next natural step once traction is proven.
> Our only team milestone is not just Smithii.
We also count on a Platform Engineer with experience building infrastructure for banks and insurance companies.
Also, the jewelry owner is part of the team, not because of the story, but because he is also an investor and participates in several startups, having a deep network in the Spanish Ecosystem.
> Deck below.
If you are a VC actively deploying capital and Lince sounds interesting to you, feel free to DM, so we can book a call next week.
If you are not a VC, you can rather introduce a VC to us or just give feedback to our deck (much appreciated)
The shift in the crypto fundraising landscape the past 6 months has been insane.
Crypto VCs used to have to constantly be networking/writing/podcasting/going on spaces/promoting your thesis/getting on 10 deal flow calls a week, to get into good deals...now it's literally enough to just have capital to write checks.
Deals are being pushed rather than dug out. Inbound if people know you have money is at an all-time high.
Most firms are either 1) Out of money 2) Moved to Series A and beyond or 3) Fundraising (with no success).
Deals that used to close in 2-3 weeks now close in 2-3 months.
Firms with questionable business models or copy pasta of the latest trend are getting zero primary or follow-on funding (Good news!).
There are now realistically <20 firms writing checks in pre-seed/seed.
VCs basically have the pick of any deal they want, with more time to do DD.
IMHO 25/26 are going to be historic vintages for those who stick around.

Paperclip lets you hire AI agents and run an entire company with zero human employees.
We tested it live. Built an AI CEO, CTO, and engineering team from scratch.
Gave them one mission: rebuild Sora as open source.
They made architecture decisions. Chose the tech stack. Started building the MVP. All on their own.
Part 2 coming up soon.

We just open-sourced Paperclip: the orchestration layer for zero-human companies
It's everything you need to run an autonomous business: org charts, goal alignment, task ownership, budgets, agent templates
Just run `npx paperclipai onboard`

We're going live in one hour to test Paperclip.
Hire AI agents. Set goals.
Let them build your entire product.
The challenge:
rebuild @soraofficialapp from scratch in 60 minutes.
Zero human employees.
Just AI agents running everything.
OpenAI shut it down. We're bringing it back.
