I am here to create the magic 🪄 Seedance... 2.5 Prompt : A vertical cinematic shot of a woman wearing a pink short skirt in an indoor room manipulating an invisible portal with her fingertips. The space between her hands reveals a black-and-white manga illustrated version of her face and surroundings, perfectly aligned with the photorealistic world outside. The hand-drawn portal stretches, morphs across her face, and briefly expands full-screen before collapsing back into reality with a finger snap. Reference using GPT Image 2show more

In Japan, a single firework can cost $1,500. One... shot. They're called warimono — spherical, hand-packed, multi-layered shells that bloom in perfect symmetry in all directions. Western fireworks bloom in one direction. Japanese ones bloom in 3D. The craft is called hanabi-shi. "Fire-flower master." The apprenticeship takes years under a single master. Paper shells are built by hand, layer by layer, over months. A single mistake can ignite the shell on the workshop floor. Factory accidents still happen. Every year, Japan's news reports pyrotechnic deaths. The biggest aerial firework in the world was made in Katakai, Niigata. It's called the yonshakudama. 120 cm wide. 460 kg. Verified by Guinness World Records. It's launched 850 meters into the sky. Where it blooms into a flower 800 meters across. One shell takes a year to build. Japan turned explosives into a 400-year-old flower-arranging tradition.show more

Seedance V2 This used to take people month of... study and practice on Adobe Flash, now it can be done with Seedance V2, not perfect but this is the worst it will be. 15 seconds, stylized 2D hand-drawn animation, overhead battlefield on aged yellow lined notebook paper, clear blue horizontal ruled lines and a red left margin line always visible, fine paper grain, pencil marks, ink strokes, minimal classroom-material aesthetic at the start. The entire video must preserve the same paper world from start to finish. No live action, no 3D rendering, no realistic human faces, no modern objects, no narration, no subtitles. Core concept: A childish classroom doodle of an ancient war gradually transforms into a legendary illustrated battlefield, then collapses back into scribbles after the climax. The escalation must feel smooth, intentional, and visually magical, as if imagination is taking over the page. Army design: Two opposing ancient armies drawn first as simple colored stick figures, one faction in red, one faction in blue. Dense infantry blocks with spears and swords, cavalry units with long lances, banner carriers, archers. At first they are crude doodles with simple line limbs and circular heads. As the battle intensifies, they evolve step by step into more detailed inked warriors with clearer armor silhouettes, horses, weapons, helmets, capes, and expressive movement, but still remain inside a hand-drawn 2D illustrated style on paper. Visual progression and timing: 0-3 seconds: Wide top-down view of a large notebook-paper battlefield. Rough stick-figure armies face each other across the page. The drawing feels playful and simple at first. The camera slowly glides forward over the paper as both sides begin charging. Tiny horses gallop, infantry rushes, arrows are sketched into existence and start falling. Everything still looks like rough schoolbook doodles. 3-7 seconds: The first major collision. Spears thrust, swords swing, cavalry crashes into cavalry, formations break apart. With each impact, the art style upgrades. Simple stick limbs become stronger ink lines, bodies gain armor shapes, horses gain muscular form, banners gain flowing detail, shadows and dust marks appear. The battlefield becomes denser, faster, more dramatic. Red and blue strokes smear across the page with the force of combat. 7-11 seconds: The battle reaches full transformation. The once-crude doodles are now a glorious hand-illustrated ancient war scene, still clearly drawn on notebook paper but far more detailed and cinematic. The camera pushes into a central duel between two opposing generals on horseback. Their weapons clash with a powerful burst of ink lines and paper tremor. Around them, infantry and cavalry continue fighting in layered motion, arrows rain down, fallen soldiers scatter across the ruled lines. 11-15 seconds: At the peak of the duel, one final strike lands. A shockwave ripples through the page. The detailed warriors, horses, banners, and battle effects suddenly break apart into loose pencil scribbles, sketch fragments, and drifting paper-line debris. The great war rapidly collapses back into childish rough doodles, then into scattered marks and unfinished lines, as if the imagination has burned out. End on the overhead notebook page with the battlefield reduced to messy hand-drawn remnants. Animation and motion: Smooth fluid motion, strong timing, readable silhouettes, at least 24fps feel. The escalation from crude doodle to epic illustrated warfare must be gradual and continuous, not abrupt. Impacts should feel sharp and rhythmic. Keep all action legible from overhead. Maintain strong contrast between the innocent notebook-paper setting and the seriousness of the war. Atmosphere: Starts playful and curious, grows intense and heroic, peaks as a mythic battlefield, then ends with a strange quiet after the collapse. The whole piece should feel like a child’s imagination turning into an epic war vision on paper.show more

Made with Seedance 2.0 on Yapper Image Prompt: A colored pencil sketch style choreography sheet infographic for an urban street dance solo performance. Layout: 16 steps arranged in a clean 4x4 grid, each panel showing a different breakdance-inspired move. Subject: a teenage Asian girl with long wavy hair, wearing effortless urban streetwear with stylish layered details (oversized washed black hoodie, loose cargo jogger pants, fitted inner top, chunky sneakers with muted grey, soft lavender, and faded blue accents, silver chain accessories, fingerless gloves). Style: hand-drawn colored pencil illustration, soft shading, visible pencil texture, slightly sketchy but clean lines, muted urban tones blended with subtle pastel accents and dark outfit contrast. Movement: each frame shows dynamic breakdance motions and freestyle street dance energy (toprock, footwork, spins, freezes, slides, shoulder drops, groove transitions, power poses), with small arrows indicating movement direction, momentum, and flow. Design: modern urban dance aesthetic, minimal and stylish infographic layout, subtle graffiti-inspired visual accents, step numbers (1–16), short captions under each frame. Text: Title at the top — “URBAN STREET BREAKDANCE – 16 COUNTS – 10 SECONDS – FREESTYLE FLOW”. Environment: simple industrial dance studio background with concrete textures, soft cinematic lighting, minimal shadows. Quality: high detail, sharp composition, balanced layout, editorial dance tutorial poster, stylish choreography reference sheet. Negative prompt: blurry, low quality, extra limbs, distorted anatomy, bad proportions, messy layout, overcrowded design, text errors, watermark.show more

When most people pack their bags for a holiday... in Switzerland, their minds are filled with a very specific, beautiful set of cliches: snow-draped chalets, bubbling pots of cheese fondue, and crisp alpine air. But if you hop on a train and head through the deep tunnels toward the southern slopes of the Alps, the entire country undergoes a jaw-dropping cultural transformation. Welcome to Locarno and the breathtaking Ticino region. Being tucked inside the Italian-speaking canton of Switzerland means that daily life here trades rigid northern structures for the effortless, sun-drenched rhythm of the Mediterranean. For food lovers, this geographical crossroad is nothing short of paradise: it means you get to eat ALL the incredible, authentic Italian food your heart desires. The historic lakefront piazzas are packed with the tempting aromas of wood-fired pizzas, rich handmade pastas, and heaps of velvety, artisanal gelato. As the late afternoon sun hits the stone walls, the entire city seamlessly transitions into a vibrant aperitivo culture, where locals clink glasses of spritz over plates of cured meats and local cheeses. To be entirely honest, as a local, I only learned to truly look at and appreciate my hometown a few years ago. Growing up surrounded by it makes it easy to take for granted. But now, whenever travelers ask me where they should go to experience the true, multi-layered soul of Switzerland, my answer is always the same: make a definitive line for Locarno and the Ticino valley . Southern Switzerland holds a poetic, sun-kissed magic that defies every expectation and it might just turn out to be the most magnificent surprise of your entire European journey. 🎥 acrosseveryborder | IGshow more

Hermes Agent + Higgsfield Marketing Studio = AI UGC... Content Factory I built a fully automated system inside Higgsfield that repurposes, localizes, and launches winning TikTok Shop content across hundreds of creator-style accounts. It's so effective it feels like running Facebook ads in 2008. No actors. No products in hand. No ghost creators. Just viral TikTok Shop sales - 24/7. The results speak louder than any pitch: • CPMs as low as $0.10 • 550+ cinematic, product-ready ads per day from a single prompt • 100 hooks tested in the time it used to take to test 10 • $100/mo replacing a $50k+ creative budget Here's the full pipeline - all native inside Higgsfield Marketing Studio: > Hermes Agent analyzes your product, scrapes Meta Ads + TikTok Ads, identifies winning content, and localizes every angle to your brand. > Seedance 2.0 turns data into AI UGC ads - captions, pacing, hooks, your website showcase, all auto-edited inside Higgsfield Marketing Studio. > AI UGC personas are spun up with realistic faces, voices, and personalities - cloned voiceovers in seconds. > Our phone farm pushes every finished video straight to TikTok Shop, daily, on autopilot. >No setup. No switching between five tools. Everything lives inside Higgsfield Marketing Studio. Here's how it actually runs: Hermes Agent researches the niche, scrapes winning TikTok Shop videos, and rebuilds them with fresh hooks, angles, and UGC visuals tailored to your brand. Agents create and post daily to affiliate accounts - fully automated. Then we activate the MPS (Multi-Platform Swarm): once a concept wins on TikTok Shop, Higgsfield deploys hundreds of AI Agents to flood the niche with variations that all drive back to our shot. Most brands are still paying $300–$500 per video. Testing 10 hooks costs $5,000 and takes three weeks. With this system, we test 100 hooks in the same timeframe - and the winners scale automatically. TikTok doesn't reward the best video. It rewards the brand that shows up the most - with content that converts. The brands automating content at scale will be the biggest winners of 2026.show more

Run Gemma 4 26B MoE on 8GB VRAM with... 250k context at 20+ tokens/sec If you own any 8GB VRAM graphics card, stop what you are doing. Local AI just had its absolute "Holy Shit" moment for budget hardware. Yesterday, I benchmarked Unsloth Gemma 4 12B Q4_K_XL on an 8GB card. The community went wild but immediately demanded more: "Can we run a 25B+ model on budget GPUs?" Today, I’m delivering exactly that. I am running a massive 26B parameter Mixture of Experts (MoE) model locally on a standard 8GB VRAM setup with 250k full native context!. If you own an RTX 3060, 3070, 4060, or any budget GPU with 8GB of VRAM, the local AI paradigm has completely changed. The performance metrics are astonishing: - 20 tokens/sec flat decode throughput. - Stable, flat decode speed even with massive prompts. - I threw a 60k token prompt at it, and it still clocked in at 20 TPS without dropping a single frame. # What about prefill? Yes, Time To First Token (TTFT) is slightly high when swallowing massive contexts. But with a solid 200 tokens/sec prefill speed, the wait is barely noticeable and highly usable. And this is running completely without Multi Token Prediction (MTP) active. How is this possible? It’s the magic of Google's new QAT (Quantization Aware Training) quants for Gemma 4. The model weight file (unsloth gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf) is only 13.2 GB, making it the ultimate local powerhouse. # The Test Setup: CPU: Intel Core i7 RAM: 16GB System RAM GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU (8GB VRAM) # The Secret Sauce (The -cmoe Flag) To make this work properly on any 8GB card, you must use the -cmoe (CPU MoE) flag in llama.cpp. This flag isolates the heavy MoE expert weights directly to system memory (CPU/RAM) while letting your GPU focus strictly on the Attention layers and the KV Cache. It prevents VRAM spillage and holds the throughput rock solid. # The flags: -m "gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf" -cmoe -c 248000 -v Once running, just open the UI on localhost and toggle the new reasoning lightbulb icon in the text input box to watch the model perform multi step thinking. Are you still running smaller models, or are you ready to scale up your budget local setups? Let's discuss in the repliesshow more

Today was just the beginning. The United States is... under a coordinated and multi-front attack, and the events of today make that painfully clear. First, the ISIS-inspired terrorist massacre in New Orleans claimed 15 lives and counting, an atrocity carried out by an attacker who publicly posted his allegiance to ISIS just hours before. Then came the suicide bombing outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, an attack targeting a symbol of leadership and resilience. As if that weren’t enough, radicals in Manhattan are now flooding the streets, openly rallying for a global intifada. This is not a series of coincidences—it’s a calculated assault on America’s sovereignty and safety. Senator Kennedy’s warning about imminent threats underscores the gravity of the situation. The FBI has mobilized counterterrorism units, but the real question is why such measures weren’t prioritized earlier. Biden’s open-border policies have allowed thousands of enemy combatants to enter the country unchecked, many of whom are now embedded as sleeper agents, waiting for the moment to strike. This isn’t speculation—this is the direct result of the administration’s catastrophic negligence. The Cybertruck bombing in Las Vegas highlights the ingenuity of America’s engineering, with the vehicle mitigating damage by directing the blast upwards. Yet it also reveals the horrifying level of planning by terrorists who exploited the truck to carry explosives, as confirmed by Elon Musk. Meanwhile, radicals are brazenly marching in New York, openly supporting terror and chaos on American soil. This is an unthinkable reality that demands immediate action. The Biden-Harris administration’s failures have brought America to this moment. Instead of securing the border or dismantling terror networks, their FBI has wasted resources chasing political vendettas. Today’s bloodshed is proof of the consequences of their weakness. Under President Trump, national security was paramount, and America’s enemies knew better than to test that strength. The contrast couldn’t be starker. America must act now. Raise the DEFCON level, mobilize all anti-terror units, and shut down this threat before it escalates further. The time for excuses and distractions is over. This is not just about terrorism; it’s about preserving the nation’s future. Strong, decisive leadership is needed immediately—before more innocent lives are lost. Enough is enough.show more
