HyperFrames

We're teaming up with @Runware, @MiniMax_AI, @ComfyUI and @ChromaAwards to give away $20K+ in cash and credits for the best videos made with HeyGen Video 1 through our MCP. To enter, follow @HeyGenMCP and post your video with #HeyGenVideoContest. Rules: heygen.com/blog/video-contes…

Introducing Code2Video-AA, our independent implementation of HeyGen’s Code2Video Bench, which evaluates how well models create product and brand marketing videos in code Code2Video-AA tests models across 114 design briefs, tasking them with turning each product or brand marketing brief into a @HyperFrames_ HTML composition, which we render to video. Model outputs are evaluated through pairwise comparisons with other model outputs across five axes: Engagement, Prompt Intent, Composition, Temporal Consistency, and Craft. We use the outcomes of these comparisons to calculate an Elo rating for each axis, which are then averaged to produce the headline Code2Video-AA Elo. Code2Video-AA was built in partnership with @HeyGen. Claude Opus 5.5 (max with fallback, 1536) leads Code2Video-AA by 93 points, but costs $3.08 per task, ~10x more than GPT-6.1 Sol (max, 1369), which trails by 167 points. Key findings: ➤ Claude Opus 5.5 leads on all five judge axes: Models are judged across 5 axes: Engagement, Prompt Intent, Composition, Temporal Consistency, and Craft. Claude Sonnet 5.5 (max with fallback, 1443) and GPT-6 Astra (max, 1427) are statistically tied for second in overall score ➤ Cost per task varies more than 300x, from $0.01 to $3.89: GPT-6.1 Sol (max), fourth, has a Cost per Task of $0.31, about 90% lower than Claude Opus 5.5 (max with fallback) at $3.08 ➤ Open weights models trail by at least 483 points: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max, 1053), MiMo-V2.6-Flash (1052) and MiMo-V2.6-Pro (1052) are the top open weights models, at $0.01 to $0.08 per task Code2Video-AA details: ➤ Models are tested on a single response without tools. We render it with HyperFrames, with no network access ➤ A judge (Gemini 4 Argon, high) compares pair of videos across five axes: engagement, prompt intent, composition, temporal consistency and craft, with the final score being calculated from a combination of each individual axis Elo ➤ Over 35,000 verdicts rank 27 models by Elo, with 95% confidence intervals More results, example videos and how Code2Video-AA works follow in the thread below

day 2/100 of turning @HyperFrames_ into a real business: i studied the best oss business models: vercel, databricks, confluent, etc. sharing my notes on @vercel - an incredible product and a great business built on top of its @nextjs 's massive popularity the story is fascinating because the business actually came first. 10 years ago TODAY, a small startup called ZEIT open-sourced Next.js. but it was AFTER ZEIT launched Now, a product that made deploying websites as easy as running one command. Later that year, they released Next.js under the MIT license, completely free for anyone to use. (whoever made this call, is a true genius) Instead of monetizing the framework, they focused on making it ridiculously easy to take something built with Next.js and deploy it to production. And it worked. Next.js became one of the most popular web frameworks. Developers learned it, contributed to it, and built an entire ecosystem around it. Meanwhile, Vercel (renamed from ZEIT) became the natural next step. Push code, get a live URL, share a preview, collaborate with your team, and scale to production. Open source drove adoption. The commercial platform captured the value of production. Here's the crazy part: Vercel grew 50% yoy in 2026 because coding agents defaults to build modern web apps using Next.js In 2026, Vercel surpassed $500M in annualized revenue run rate, after reaching a $9.3B valuation in 2025. Little do people know, Vercel has reported that roughly 70% of Next.js applications run outside its platform. Yet, they didn't need to own EVERY Next.js deployment to build a massive business. To me, the biggest lesson isn't that open source is a great distribution strategy. It's that the best open-source businesses don't have to restrict what developers can do for free. They create something so valuable around the open-source ecosystem that people naturally want to pay for it. Free to build. Worth paying to ship. Incredible execution of technology, product and business by @rauchg and the @vercel team. mad respect. And happy 10th birthday, @nextjs 🎂🎉

I made the @HyperFrames_ launch video using Gemini 4 Argon + HyperFrames. Argon is seriously good at creative work! Should we switch to Argon, @liu8in? 👀

My kid asked me to buy "Snap Circuits Jr." So instead of buying... ...I vibecoded my own version in 3 hours And it turned out to be pretty good...Here it is 👇
