    Hey it’s Hassaan & Quinn – co-founders of Tavus, an AI research company and developer platform for video APIs. We’ve been building AI video models for ‘digital twins’ or ‘avatars’ since 2020. We’re sharing some of the challenges we faced building an AI video interface that has realistic conversations with a human, including getting it to under 1 second of latency. To try it, talk to Hassaan’s digital twin: https://www.hassaanraza.com, or to our "demo twin" Carter: https://www.tavus.io We built this because until now, we've had to adapt communication to the limits of…

    Hey HN, meet Motion — a frontier agent for motion design. Here’s how it works: 1. Give Motion a prompt — include any context like product links, X threads, YouTube videos, personal assets, and design MD. Motion will reference styles, incorporate research, and storyboard scenes. 2. Motion creates the video — it can orchestrate entire explainers, launch videos, logo animations, convert articles to video, or even add motion design to your existing videos. 3. Edit everything — after generation, edit everything directly: resize, drag and drop, modify elements. Or just chat with Motion to iterate.…

    Hi HN, I am Anubhav from Ramanlabs. We have been working on a native gui application to allow users to search any video data( mp4, mkv) or video streams (http/rtsp) using computer vision. Application is supposed to work like a video player which displays decoded frames and recognizes objects concurrently, making it an interactive experience. It works in super real-time and only expects a quad-core CPU with AVX2 instructions at minimum. Application is free to download (without any signup/account). We are only supporting WINDOWS for now [0]. Even though this is a binary application,…

    Hey HN! We’re excited to share Orion [1] — our new visual agent that sees, reasons, and acts across images, videos, and documents. Frontier VLMs (GPT, Claude, Gemini) can describe what they see, but they can’t reliably act on visual inputs. Ask them to detect objects, segment images, or chain visual steps — they’ll fail in surprisingly inconsistent ways. High-res images collapse to ~1024px. And the visual AI ecosystem is fragmented across separate APIs for image understanding, OCR, image-gen, video-gen, etc. We built Orion to fix this. Orion combines VLM reasoning with reliable…
