I've been a photons-on-glass filmmaker for over ten years, and I've been developing ArtCraft for myself, my friends, and my colleagues. All of my film school friends have a lot of ambition, but the production pyramid doesn't allow individual talent to shine easily. 10,000 students go to film school, yet only a handful get to helm projects they want with full autonomy - and almost never at the blockbuster budget levels that would afford the creative vision they want. There's a lot of nepotism, too. AI is the personal computer moment for film. The DAW. One of my friends has done rotoscoping…

Saw the remotion claude skills launch earlier, and honestly even though I was surprised how decent some of the results turned out to be I ended up never trying it out with claude code because I knew I'd have to setup remotion, bundler etc and if I was already doing it once I thought I might as well turn it into a site where anyone could just write messages and get a video without any prerequisites. I also know Claude Code is not something everyone has and setting up remotion is a pain. And one of the biggest lessons I learned from this whole experience is that Opus is actually not that good…

Hi HN, I built AgenTank. It is a small game where an AI agent writes the logic for your tank. You watch it fight, give strategic feedback, let the agent update the tank code, and send it back into battle. I have run 1,000+ battles on my own tank and spent about $200 in Claude credits improving it. The part I enjoy most is not just winning, but watching the tank make visible mistakes, thinking of a better strategy, and seeing whether Claude can turn that into better code.

Hi HN, I’m Ashu, founder of VideoDB. I’ve spent a big chunk of my life building video infrastructure. Not video creation. Video plumbing. The stuff you only learn after production breaks: timebases, VFR, keyframes, audio sync drift, container quirks, partial uploads, live streams, retries, backpressure, codecs, ffmpeg flags, cost blowups, and “why is this clip unseekable on one player but fine on another”. This week we shared VideoDB Skills, a skill pack that lets AI agents call those infra primitives directly, instead of you wiring pipelines with screenshots plus FFmpeg glue. Repo:…

I know I'm very late to the game but tried to realize Van Gogh's work with AI. Workflow is quite straightforward, generated all the video samples through Automatic1000's Web-UI by leveraging SD1.5 + Motionv3 in AnimateDiff. Rendered everything on my RTX 3080TIM laptop. Took me decent 40 mins for different experiments and generations.

Hola HN! Long time lurker, sometimes commentor, first time poster here. I’ve been working alongside my two co-founders and a few colleagues on a project I’m excited (and a little nervous) to share with you all! Like many of us, I’ve lived a tortured existence with AI coding (is it vibes?) over the past few months - I think November was a big moment with this. But, one thing I’ve noticed after building orchestration layer after orchestration layer is that the thing I always came back to was “what the hell is Claude Code actually doing?” Perhaps it’s because of the time Claude Code got…

I just heard from a very reputable source that Google built part of our product and that they're about to show it off at Google IO. We built a 3D film tool called ArtCraft: https://getartcraft.com https://github.com/storytold/artcraft (our monorepo with the desktop app, server, and website code) Our 3D virtual film set enables set decoration, location reuse, precision blocking (control over where things are), character posing, etc. Sets and objects can be generated as meshes or gaussian splats. Autoregressive multimodal models can treat input "previz" style…

Finding the balance between humans and machines has been the thread through my career. I always had a thing for AI and couldn't wait for it to actually deliver on what was promised. Now it does, and it's more important than ever that humans and machines keep working well together. AI makes creation trivial. Text, code, design, strategy, in seconds. But one thing AI does not create: independently verifiable proof of when something existed. Reproducing is now cheaper and easier than creating. Chronology becomes contestable at the moment it matters most. The universal problem was known. I…

I've been experimenting with ways to increase AI adoption for non-technical people. Basically, all companies are pushing for AI because it's all over the news and they feel left behind but most people have no clue where to start. I think 90% of people (ie non coders) are sufficiently well served by using cowork instead of claude code or something similar. If we can get people from sales, customer support, marketing, etc to collaborate with skills and cowork to form a company brain, I think it's gold. So I think there's opportunity for the community to share skills that work well for 1000s of…

Democratisation of local AI is key. I've been working on pushing the limits of commercial hardware, squeezing any extra bit possible. My Scientific Agentic AI hareness helped me to reallocate every single bit of it. I rewrote the Kernel, I went down the CUDA rabbit hole until I have been able to explain any bit and any ms of computational power involved in the process pushing the Qwen 30B-A3B from 8 tok7s to 19 tok/s with llama.cpp up to 22.2 tok/s with my project and 109 tok/s on not novel content and speeding up the prefill by 5-9X

Hey HN, I'm an AI enthusiast and I am launching apps that use ML to solve problems that we all have. I realized that there are a lot of deepfake faces on youtube and social media, so I thought it would be useful (and fun!) to have a tool that can bust those AI faces. So I built DeeFace for 2 reasons: 1. Check if the face you're looking at is real or not 2. For fun! It's something that I from half a year ago would look at and aspire to build someday. I think it's soemthing anyone who's just starting out with ML would appreciate. I hope this tool is fun for you to use as it was for me to…

I built this quiz after realizing how good AI has gotten at mimicking literature, speeches, and images. It's one strike and you're out. It includes AI-generated Shakespeare, fake MLK speeches, photorealistic images, and movie dialogue. I got several of my own questions wrong while building it. This isn't about testing your English degree, it's more about showing how well AI can now forge canonical cultural references. We've hit a point where the fakes are genuinely convincing. Where AI still slips up: Over-explanation (real Shakespeare is more economical) Generic metaphors vs. specific…

I've built a job platform for technical roles called "Cracked Engineers". If you want to land a job with some of the world's best AI/tech startups - my goal is to make this the go-to place for that. YouTube walk-through can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmuIOdES7mQ A huge thank you to Weaviate (Bob van Luijt & team), Unsloth AI (Daniel Han & Mike), OpenPipe (David Corbitt), Julius AI (Rahul Sonwalkar), Jimini AI (Luis F Voloch) for using the platform while in beta and posting first paid posts. So, why did I build it? Well, over the past period a lot of…

I was inspired by Nothing Forever to make something while it's off air - Channel 784. It's a parody of evening news. How it works: I have a Node server that generates headlines, then expands each one and creates an intro and outro based on them, and then passes the headlines to DALL-E to generate pictures for each story and the stories to Google Cloud to generate speech. Then I save that as a JSON and load it into Unreal Engine. I'm not sure it's as funny as Nothing Forever, it's a bit more structured. If anyone's got any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Hi HN, I’ve been tinkering with this for a while and finally have it in a decent state. It’s a plotter robot that draws caricatures from photos. I trained a diffusion model (Flux Kontext LoRA) on caricature images, 3D-printed a Sharpie mount for my Ender 3, and hacked together a pipeline that goes photo → caricature → G-code. After a lot of trial and error it’s working pretty well, and I put up a little site where you can try it out. Happy to answer questions or hear any feedback. Thanks!

Hi All, We built a prototype telepresence robot to go up against AnyBots. We're using an iPad as the control system and for FaceTime video conferencing. It took us a couple weeks to make. We demoed it this morning for the first time: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2BXM9PYaXY0 The next version will be taller and thinner. What do you think? Do we stand a chance against AnyBots? Thanks, David

I spent 9 months in abdominal pains. 7 endoscopies. Turned out the problem wasn’t even in my gut. That mess is why I built Healz.ai - AI + real doctors-investigator who build complete picture and look for root causes. I’m not here to pitch. I just want to know if it’s real or crap and are there people like me sometime ago. Please burn me as much as possible. Just want to make no bullshit service. No marketing. No “AI doctor”, NO "text-to-porn generator" hype. Just trying to make something that could save people the months I lost.

I'm a filmmaker, and have been pretty frustrated by AI video editors that are focused on automating editing instead of helping artists produce their visions. Recently got curious about whether Claude could color grade my footage, and built Pico. Turns out Claude can (sometimes!) Please feel free to ask questions, try it on your own footage, or contribute to the project! Ask: if you are a researcher or hobbyist filmmaker, I'd love to chat with you to figure out how to make the models better at this!

I'm an ML engineer. I know how AI works, the limitations, the hype. And I was still drowning. Couldn't stick to goals. Couldn't stay consistent. Productivity apps became digital clutter. Therapy waitlists were 3 months out. Friends were tired of my complaints. So at 2am I started building: zropi.com What shocked me was it actually worked. It felt human. Last week I mentioned a tough client call. Didn't set a reminder. Two days later it voice messaged me: "Hey, how'd that call go? You seemed stressed." When does technology ever do that? What makes it feel alive: It doesn't reply instantly.…
