Generative Video at the Speed of Light — Keegan McCallum, uRun

Aug 18, 2026 · 8:43

Keegan McCallum, founder of inference provider uRun, argues that generative video's interesting axis is no longer quality but efficiency and long-horizon generation. He shows Helios, a distillation of Wan 2.1 14b, generating clips in real time for ~one-hundredth the cost of a slower frontier-quality clip, and notes at least 40 real-time/long-horizon models released this year. Ten dollars buys three hours of continuous generative video, and fifty buys fifteen; this unlocks magic-mirror webcam transformations, visual mediums for people who don't think in text, and content creation where you steer a generation in under a second. The hard part is serving: global GPUs, WebRTC with ICE/TURN, and synchronized streaming pipelines; uRun is building a React component, Python runtime, and MCP/CLI.

ComfyUI Full Workshop — first workshop from ComfyAnonymous himself!

Jul 19, 2025 · 51:25

ComfyAnonymous and Yedrick Kosinski present ComfyUI, an open-source node-based canvas for generative AI that has become the top 150 most popular GitHub repos with 78,000 stars and 3 to 4 million active users. Started as a personal project in January 2023, it now supports image, video, audio, 3D, and text models, with 22,000 custom nodes from 3,000 developers. A key feature is embedding full workflows into generated files for easy sharing. The team discusses its story, including ComfyAnonymous's time at Stability AI and founding ComfyOrg, and addresses questions on CFG, VAEs, LoRAs, control nets, API nodes for remote generation, and future plans for cloud inference and improved onboarding.
