Vibe coding might not be real, but vibe graphics design certainly is. https://imgur.com/a/internet-DWzJ26B Anyone can make images and video now.

What tools did you use to make those videos from the PG image?

I used a bunch of models in conjunction:

- Midjourney (background)

- Qwen Image (restyle PG)

- Gemini 2.5 Flash (editing in PG)

- Gemini 2.5 Flash (adding YC logo)

- Kling Pro (animation)

I didn't spend too much time correcting mistakes.

I used a desktop model aggregation and canvas tool that I wrote [1] to iterate and structure the work. I'll be open sourcing it soon.

This is the gpt 4 moment for image editing models. Nano banana aka gemini 2.5 flash is insanely good. It made a 171 elo point jump in lmarena! Just search nano banana on Twitter to see the crazy results. An example. https://x.com/D_studioproject/status/1958019251178267111

Regardless, it seems Google is on the frontier of every type of model and robotics (cars). It’s nutty how we forget what a intellectual juggernaut they are.

Tool use and sycophancy are still big issues in gemini 2.5 models.

No, it's not really that much of an improvement. Once you start coming up with specific tasks, it fails just like the others.

If you compare to the amount of effort required in Photoshop to achieve the same results, still a vast improvement

I work in Photoshop all day, and I 100% agree. Also, I just retried a task that wouldn't work last night on nano-banana and it worked first time on the released model, so I'm wondering if there were some changes to the released version?

We had an exhibition some time back where I used AI to generate the posters for our product. This is a side project and not something we do seriously, but the results were outstanding - better than what the majority of much bigger exhibitors had.

It took me a LOT of time to get things right, but if I was to get an actual studio to make those images, it would have cost me a thousands of dollars

Midjourney with style references is just about the easiest way right now for an absolute noob to get good aesthetics

I've been testing it for several weeks. It can produce results that are truly epic, but it's still a case of rerolling the prompt a dozen times to get an image you can use. It's not God. It's definitely an enormous step though, and totally SOTA.

How did you get early access? Thanks.

I believe lmarena.

Before AI, people complained that Google was taking world class engineering talent and using it for little more than selling people ads.

But look at that example. With this new frontier of AI, that world class engineering talent can finally be put to use…for product placement. We’ve come so far.

What are you talking about? I ordered 10 of them.

You couldn't have-- we sold out and are out of stock redesigning the board to be more usable during configuration and radio control.

Oh shit, it is a real product? That's amazing.

Unfortunately, it suffers from the same safetyism than other many releases. Half of the prompts get rejected. How can you have character consistency if the model is forbidden from editing any human. And most of my photo editing involves humans, so basically this is just a useless product. I get that Google doesn't want to be responsible for deep fake advances, but that seems inevitable, so this is just slightly delaying progress. Eventually we will have to face it and allow for society to adapt.

This trend of tools that point a finger at you and set guardrails is quite frustrating. We might need a new OSS movement to regain our freedom.
