Wow 😳
This was made with Seedance 2.5, and honestly it looks way more real than I expected.

What impressed me most is the overall flow. it doesn’t feel like a bunch of disconnected shots stitched together, but actually plays like one continuous moment. and the character movement is also surprisingly natural.

still AI of course, but this is one of those generations where i can really feel how far video models have come.

if ur interested in, i will put the prompt in the comment. however, if u want to explore more prompts, u can vist this prompt hub: prompts-hub | seedance-2-5-prompt hope more discussion!

My bank asked for 17 PDF documents regarding my mortgage application.

I got tired of opening and closing files and keeping track of things. So I decided to send a single PDF with many pages, to avoid going back and forth, but that caused even more confusion.

So I came up with an idea: what if I could scroll horizontally to see the pages of a single file and then scroll vertically to see more files? That’d be a great way to navigate multiple PDFs all at once, in a simple, 2D canvas, like Figma (which by the way doesn’t support pdf imports natively).

I decided to extend the pdf standard by adding metadata to indicate where files end and where new files start. This allowed me to store multiple PDFs into a single, backwards compatible PDF. I called this new format .pdfx but it can also be stored as a regular pdf with metadata.

I was lucky, because I managed to task Claude just 3 hours before the most advanced model was shut down and I was surprised at its capabilities, it did 80% of the project in 2 hours.

It’s open-source, uses Electron with native Liquid Glass overrides with attention to UI/UX, but there are some rough edges:

Your feedback would be highly appreciated

been playing with the MiniMax H3, and I think the interesting part isn’t just getting the agent to generate something for you.

My workflow has basically been:

1. Tell the agent what I want.
2. Check the result myself.
3. Give a few rounds of specific feedback.
4. Repeat until I have a couple of versions I actually like.

i plan to turn this workflow into a skill. after that, the next time I need something similar, I don’t have to explain everything from scratch. A much shorter instruction can get pretty close to the result I want.

i’ve also been collecting more MiniMax H3 workflows lately, and this repo has been useful for seeing what other people are building around it:

still testing the Skill workflow myself, but this feels like one of the more practical ways to make an agent improve over repeated use.

📋 Pipeline

```

Scene Script → Character LoRAs (Flux1-Dev) → First Frame (Flux1-Dev)

→ LTX-Video 2.3 I2V (768×512 @ 24fps) → TTS Audio Layer → Edit → Export

```

🔧 Models & Tools

First Frame

Steps

• Tool: 40 (quality passes)

Motion Bucket

• Tool: 127 (moderate motion)

Audio

🎭 Custom LoRAs Trained (Qwen Image LoRA / musubi-tuner)

Trained 6 character LoRAs on FLUX.1 dev for character consistency:

**`chr_lyssa`**

• Character: Lyssa (silver-haired antagonist)

**`chr_kael`**

• Character: Master Kael (elder mentor)

**`chr_mira`**

• Character: Mira (teen protagonist)

**`chr_mira_older`**

• Character: Mira (20 years later, epilogue)

**`chr_mira_child`**

• Character: Mira (child)

**`chr_boy`**

• Character: Curious village boy (epilogue)

📐 Video Prompts include timestamped motion beats in `[0s–Xs: action]` format with specific camera movements, lighting direction, and subject motion — following LTX-2.3's preference for concrete visual descriptions over abstract/emotional language.

---

🛠️ What I'd love feedback on:

1. **Character consistency** — across scenes, despite using IPAdapter + LoRAs, there's some drift. Any better approaches?

2. **Motion artifacts** — LTX-2.3 still has occasional flickering/jitter, especially on character faces during dialogue. Tips for prompt structure or settings to reduce this?

3. **Frame quality** — at 768×512, detail is limited. Would 1280×720 with higher steps help, or is there a better upscale strategy?

4. **Audio sync** — currently scene-based TTS timed to video durations. Any recommended tools for more precise lip-sync or audio-driven animation in ComfyUI?

5. **Overall** — any glaring issues or quick wins I'm missing?

Thanks in advance for any pointers! 🙏

I think people considering Higgsfield’s annual Unlimited plan deserve to know what is happening right now.

Higgsfield heavily promoted Unlimited AI generations, people paid for annual subscriptions, and then similar to Artlist, the service appears to have attracted far more users than they were prepared to support.

But this is where the comparison with Artlist becomes important. Artlist at least had the guts to acknowledge that things had gone wrong, apologize to customers, and offer full refunds to affected subscribers. That is what taking responsibility looks like.

Higgsfield, so far, appears to be doing almost the opposite.

Higgsfield’s support situation is embarrassing

After the promotion rolled out, unlimited generations went from working normally to effectively becoming unusable.

On some accounts, jobs would sit processing for absurd amounts of time (40 hours+) while on other accounts could apparently continue generating normally. There seems to be restrictions randomly applied to certain accounts so they can meet the demand. At that point, “Unlimited” becomes meaningless if your generations simply never finish.

They have just one customer support on Discord to help, called Theo. He takes four days to reply to any message because he is so flooded with requests. This is not an attack on Theo. If anything, I feel sorry for him. One person clearly cannot deal with the volume of customers affected by something this large.

The problem is that a company reportedly valued in the billions should not be running customer support with a single employee as the help desk. If you are going to aggressively sell annual subscriptions to thousands of customers, you also need to invest in enough infrastructure and support staff to actually service those customers after their credit cards have been charged.

"Seedance Unlimited” has quietly disappeared

Perhaps the most telling development is that Higgsfield has now quietly removed the Seedance Unlimited offering from its pricing page. That certainly doesn’t prove what is happening internally, but it adds to the obvious question: did Higgsfield sell far more Unlimited subscriptions than its infrastructure could actually support?

One working theory among affected users is that, rather than openly throttling everyone at once and triggering an immediate mass backlash, a percentage of existing Unlimited accounts may have been restricted, leaving some customers generating normally while others suddenly face unusable service.

Again, that is a theory. But the fact that Unlimited has now vanished from the pricing page while existing annual customers are reporting these problems makes the company’s continued lack of a transparent explanation even harder to accept.

Discord moderators silencing the backlash

What makes this particularly ugly is what happens when customers start sharing their experience and asking for help publicly and often respectfully.

People have been raising these concerns in Higgsfield’s Discord, and I have seen messages being deleted or users being banned rather than the underlying issue being openly addressed.

Banning frustrated customers does not make their generations complete faster. And suppressing discussion certainly does not inspire confidence that the company is taking the underlying problem seriously.

If Higgsfield genuinely has a capacity problem, just say so.

AI generation is expensive. Demand forecasting is difficult and companies can get it wrong. I could actually respect a company saying:

“We massively underestimated how many people would buy this. Our infrastructure cannot currently deliver the experience we advertised. We screwed up, and we’re fixing it.”

That would be accountability. Customers would probably be angry, but at least they would know they were dealing with a company willing to tell them the truth.

Higgsfield seemingly got the flood of paying customers every startup dreams about.

The problem is that when those customers actually tried to use their “Unlimited” subscriptions, the economics and infrastructure may not have worked nearly as well as the marketing did.

And if that is what happened, customers deserve transparency.

Whatever criticism Artlist received for its own Unlimited fiasco, at least there was an acknowledgement that customers had been let down and affected users were given a path to get their money back.

Higgsfield needs to show the same level of accountability instead of behaving as though the customers complaining about the failure are the problem.

If you bought Higgsfield Unlimited and your account suddenly became extremely slow, stopped completing generations, or was restricted, please share what happened to you as well.

I’m very interested to see just how widespread this actually is.

I lost my uncle to violence in Nigeria a few years back. Before he died he sent me a voice note of encouragement, and I still have it, but it’s frozen. It can’t answer anything I ask it now.
EchoVault is my attempt to fix that. You do guided check-in sessions with an AI biographer that draws your actual stories out of you, and over time it builds an Echo that talks the way you talk and knows what you’d say. Most things in this space build an avatar from a few minutes of uploaded footage. This works the other way around, so the Echo can answer questions you never explicitly answered because it’s learned how you actually think.
Every response is grounded in something you really said, which means it won’t invent memories you never had.
Text is free forever with unlimited check-ins and no card. $12/mo adds your real cloned voice. There’s a $99.99 one-time setup for a lifelike video avatar that includes 3 months of live video, then $18/mo after that. The video tier is a live face to face conversation, not a rendered clip.
You name custodians up front. If a full year passes with no activity on your account, your Echo transfers to them automatically. No paperwork for a grieving family to figure out.
I shipped text, voice, and real-time video together in June 2025, which as far as I know made this the first digital legacy product where all three worked at once.

$250,000 degrees are long term investments. But what happens if the planned income to justify them isn't there in the 2030s and 2040s? If corporate America is happy to hire people with $10,000 degrees, is there any point in going for an equivalent degree at 25 times the price?

As the AI jobs apocalypse seems to have already started for college graduates, this question has now become urgent reality, not future hypothetical.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for honest feedback on my YouTube channel, TalkNToast - Topic. Just to be 100% transparent: all of the songs on this channel are AI-generated. I'd love your thoughts on the audio quality, emotional impact, and overall vibe. Check out Uploads from TalkNToast - Topic - YouTube and let me know what you think!

Just noticed this after hitting my Claude Code usage limit today.

There’s now an “Auto-continue when limits reset” option, so Claude can automatically resume the session once your limit becomes available again.

Really nice improvement for longer coding sessions.

Has anyone else started seeing this yet?
