Big moment for text-to-speech. Qwen just open-sourced a text-to-speech... model that lets you clone voices, design new ones, and control speech using natural language. Let me explain what I mean: You can literally tell it "speak in a cheerful tone with slight nervousness," and it actually does that. No complex audio engineering needed. What makes this special: - 3-second voice cloning - Covers 10 languages: English, German, French, and more - Latency as low as 97ms for real-time applications - Supports both streaming and non-streaming generation The model comes in two sizes (0.6B and 1.7B parameters), so you can pick based on your hardware and quality needs. Three modes to work with: 1. Custom Voice: Use pre-built premium voices with instruction-based style control 2. Voice Design: Describe the voice you want in plain English (or Chinese), and the model creates it 3. Voice Clone: Provide a 3-second reference audio and clone that voice The best part? It integrates with vLLM for production deployment and has a simple Python package you can pip install. I've shared a link to the GitHub repo in the next tweet.show more

⚠️ NSFW ⚠️ Looks like Hume made a virtually... uncensored voice-native LLM called Octave—the first language model built specifically for TTS. You can generate any type of voice you want with a prompt, and their WebUI tool can auto-generate corresponding example dialogue! The model grasps user intent from text quite well, but as you’ll hear in the second example there can be (somewhat unsettling) glitches inb4 glitch orgasms become a new fetish category 🙃show more

We’re having much more natural conversations with Gemini directly... inside many of our products, so we’re bringing this to two more: Ask YouTube is a new experience for searching for content on YouTube. It gives you information in an easy to navigate layout, with videos best matched to what you’re looking for, and jumps right to the part most relevant to your query. With voice-powered Docs Live you can brain dump whatever is on your mind, and let Gemini do the rest. Rolling out this summer, and the same voice capability is coming to Gmail and Keep then too.show more

Retweet and comment "CARTESIA" on the main video and we'll send you the guide and $100 in credits so you can get started today.show more

OpenClaw, but built for normal people. Sim is an... open-source platform that lets you build AI agent workflows on a drag-and-drop canvas. Connect them to channels like Telegram and WhatsApp and deploy without writing a single line of code. They also have a built-in Copilot that generates entire workflows from plain English, which you can then tweak and customize in the UI. Key features: - Free and open-source (Apache 2.0) - Vector store integration for RAG-grounded agents - Self-host with one command (`npx simstudio`) - Run fully local with Ollama, no API keys needed - Supports vLLM for production-grade self-hosted inference The thing I really like about Sim is the level of control you get. You can add conditional branching, parallel execution, human-in-the-loop approval gates, and even nest workflows inside other workflows. Everything is visible on the canvas, so you know exactly what your agent is doing at every step. And you can build a workflow in Sim, deploy it as an MCP server, and plug it into any agent, including OpenClaw. I've shared the link to Sim's GitHub repo in the next tweet.show more

Introducing Novo Launching today a new project I coded... for myself in 1 weekend in May and decided to finish this week. Novo is a dead simple to-do app that lets you "Speech-To-Tasks", or paste a huge text and organize for you. You can customize the AI and make it organize in any criteria: - Auto-tag by category - Schedule some types of tasks to certain days - Prioritize based on your own rules Try it:show more

To celebrate the release, I'm hosting a giveaway! 🎁 Repost and follow me for a chance to win one of 10 Lifetime Premium memberships. Winners will be announced Monday, September 23.show more

I'm joining to build and grow ElevenCreative. I've spent... most of my career building for creators. ElevenLabs is one of the fastest-growing AI companies, and it's clear they've been principled about how they build for creators every step of the way: → $11M+ paid back to creators through a voice marketplace that lets you control how your voice is used and earn from it → A music product setting the ethical standard with 50/50 royalty splits, trained only on licensed data → Leading voice and audio models that support 70+ languages so creators anywhere in the world can reach a global audience and earn on equal footing → Partnerships with 450+ nonprofits and people with ALS, cancer, and stroke reclaim their voice for them and their loved ones → An all-in-one creative workspace that supports everyone from millions of creators to brands like Disney, Duolingo, and Epic Games → Tooling that unlocks new workflows, like enabling indie authors to publish audiobooks where the economics aren't cost-prohibitive, and so much more Excited to work with @matiii, Luke Harries, and an incredible team that does not stop shipping. If you have feedback on the product, or are excited to join, reach out. Will be hiring for several roles.show more

✨ Made a new mini feature on Photo AI:... [ Grab from 3d model ] So the problem is we're at that stage in time (typical for AI) where image-to-3d models are not good enough but are fun to play with, but we know they'll be good enough in 1-2 years With [ Make 3d model ] you already can turn any Photo AI pic into a 3d model but it still looks hyper clunky and deformed, but it works! One cool idea I had to make that more useful and made now: Let people make a 3d model then change the view of the it with the 3d viewer, then press [ o ] and it grabs a frame of the 3d That image you can then [ Remix ] (img2img), and it becomes a real photo again and that in turn you can then turn into a video again with [ Make video ] So that essentially gives you a fully freeform camera position control to take photos with One thing I need to fix is the background/skybox, I kinda need to take the original photo and remove the person and just get the background for the 3d model viewer, in this case it should be white, but it's a start!show more

That dog in your photo? He's got something to... say. 🐶 Turn your images into eight-second video clips with sound effects and speech in the Google Gemini and Flow from Google Labs. This feature uses Veo 3 to generate motion that reflects real world physics and includes a new experimental audio capability so you can really bring your images to life. Try it at andshow more

Here are the steps to create this animation: 1.... Design and model your own mech in Plasticity. 2. Import the model into the animation software 3ds Max. 3. Create the animation on your own. 4. Render and export the monochrome model animation. 5. Make the final render for reference. 6. Use Seedance 2 to re-render your monochrome model animation according to the reference render you provided. Summary: In this workflow, Seedance 2 acts as a renderer that saves you hours of rendering time. All other work has to be done manually by yourself. Don’t blindly believe that AI can fully produce mech animations for you — it simply cannot do that.show more

Major major props to aroha for solving a major... limitation with Seedance 2.0. If you've tried uploading audio files directly, you know that Seedance 2.0 actually changes the lyrics and even the song itself BUT if you save out a blank video with the song and upload that video as a video omni reference it gives you perfect lipsync and no style drifting of the audio. I personally haven't notice style drift but it's 100% better than a straight audio upload which makes it unusable. This is actually MAJOR!!! Those music videos you've been wanting to generate with Seedance 2.0 are now solved. I tested this myself with some audio from Suno 5.5 which is the example you're watching right now and it works! I just wish Seedance 2.0 would actually fix the audio upload problem but this is an immediate fix. You don't need to type out the lyrics like I did. I think the best use case for using just an audio file is only if you want to keep a characters voice consistent.show more

✨ I updated Photo AI's video model to Kling... AI 2.6 now By default it also generates audio (like Veo 3 does) and if you prompt for it it also produces voice, and it's pretty realistic too I'd say the cadence of the voice can be improved to be a bit more real, but it's definitely getting there It's just one click, just generate an AI photo first then hover over it and press [ 📼 Make video ] It's 3x more expensive, but I sell it below cost (5 credits) so that you all sign up to Photo AI and generate your UGC influencers with me 😊 Here's my 100% AI influencer telling what she thinks of the European Commissionshow more

I built a content engine that runs on telegram.... Two commands... /discover: sends out to 9 sources across HackerNews, Reddit communities covering AI automation, prompt engineering, vibe coding, and specialist newsletters. Pulls everything published in the last 24 hours, runs each item through an AI extraction layer that scores it against 100+ niche keywords, deduplicates, and drops the relevant ideas into a Notion database. Takes about 90 seconds. Costs fractions of a cent. /ideas: this command pulls the top scored ideas from that database, randomizes the selection so you're not seeing the same ones every time, and sends them to you in a clean numbered list. You reply with /write 3 or whatever you choose, and the system researches the topic using Perplexity's live web search, generates three distinct outline options with different angles and hooks, saves them to a Google Doc, and sends you a message telling you they're ready. You read the outlines, and you pick one. You then reply with the command /outline 2. The system writes the full piece in your voice, following your brand guidelines, with specific examples and concrete claims. It can be done in under two minutes of your time. The whole thing runs on n8n, with no subscriptions beyond what you already use. If content takes too long or you don't have ideas, this solves that. I built this for myself; I can do it for you. If you're tired of knowing you should be posting and still not doing it, let's talk.show more

HTML Artifacts are a big part of how I... work with agents now. Artifacts can be more than just static files. When combined with agents, they can take action or help you take action. This unlocks all kinds of interesting ways to work with agents. This is clearly the future. Check out this writing and scheduler artifact I built in a few minutes. It uses a bit of HTML and JS. All the data is in markdown (Obsidian vaults), so the agent can access and modify it at any time. No DB needed. No sophisticated functionalities. The agent decides all that for me based on the skills, context, and memory it has access to. The best part about this simple stack is that all the important information stays with me. This has allowed me to build a recursive self-improving system and automations that can better tap into coding agents like Codex or Claude Code. I could have paid or built an entire app for scheduling posts, and there are so many of them out there. But I don't need to. I've realized a simple artifact does the job. And the simplicity of it is actually an advantage. Very little maintenance for very high returns on personalization, time, and efficiency. The other benefit of this is that I can add features as I please. That level of personalization feels magical, and we should all be pursuing more of it. All of this just keeps compounding. Of course, this example is just about writing. But I have similar artifacts for research, design, experimentation, evaluation, and so much more. And no, I didn't actually publish the post example I shared in the clip. It was just for demonstration purposes. I actually spend more time than this when writing together with agents. Lastly, having built my own agent orchestrator tool has made me realize that simplifying the tool stack is a superpower. If you are curious about how all this works, I will do a live session next week:show more

Fine-tune DeepSeek-OCR on your own language! (100% local) DeepSeek-OCR... is a 3B-parameter vision model that achieves 97% precision while using 10× fewer vision tokens than text-based LLMs. It handles tables, papers, and handwriting without killing your GPU or budget. Why it matters: Most vision models treat documents as massive sequences of tokens, making long-context processing expensive and slow. DeepSeek-OCR uses context optical compression to convert 2D layouts into vision tokens, enabling efficient processing of complex documents. The best part? You can easily fine-tune it for your specific use case on a single GPU. I used Unsloth to run this experiment on Persian text and saw an 88.26% improvement in character error rate. ↳ Base model: 149% character error rate (CER) ↳ Fine-tuned model: 60% CER (57% more accurate) ↳ Training time: 60 steps on a single GPU Persian was just the test case. You can swap in your own dataset for any language, document type, or specific domain you're working with. I've shared the complete guide in the next tweet - all the code, notebooks, and environment setup ready to run with a single click. Everything is 100% open-source!show more

🚨 Alibaba just open sourced a GUI agent that... lives inside your webpage and controls it with natural language. It's called Page Agent and it's not a browser extension. It's pure JavaScript no Python, no Puppeteer, no headless browser, no screenshots. Just one script tag and your web app understands natural language. Here's what it actually does: → Embed it with a single tag or npm install → Control any web interface with plain English commands → Text-based DOM manipulation no OCR, no vision models needed → Bring your own LLM (GPT, Claude, Qwen, anything) → Ships a built-in UI with human-in-the-loop support → Turn 20-click ERP/CRM workflows into one sentence → Optional Chrome extension for multi-tab agent tasks → Works on any web app SaaS, admin panels, internal tools Companies are charging $30/month for AI copilots built on this exact idea. This is 3 lines of code. Your users. Your interface. The AI copilot layer for every web app just got open sourced. 1.6K stars. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)show more

We're launching something new: Collaborative Notes The idea: when... you request a note, AI drafts one — then the community refines it together through ratings and suggestions. You can watch it get better in real time. It’s a whole new way for the public to work with AI — and each other — to make information more accurate. And a whole new way to contribute to Community Notes. For now, only requests from Top Writers on English-language posts generate Collaborative Notes, and you must have 2+ Writing Impact to make suggestions. We plan to expand that & shape the experience based on your feedback. As usual, it’s open-source:show more

the opportunity's AI UGC opened up for affiliate is... absolutely insane I built an AI UGC system to promote sweeps offers on Glitchy just using Arcads + Claude Cowork Claude literally: > Scans TikTok / Reddit based on what I'm promoting > Generates me 50 hooks using this information > Creates me a full script based on the hooks > Uses the Arcads API to decide what tools to use for the script and generates the video > Then will analyse what hooks did well and which didn't and change the hook or CTA based on that information I can literally sleep while it cooks me up a weeks worth of content I made a full guide on how to set Claude Cowork up to generate videos with Arcads if you want it comment "UGC" and i'll send it to you (Must be following so i can DM you)show more
