Today, we’re coming out of stealth with TensorScale (@TensorScaleAI ), and we're already running the fastest video inference in the world. MiniMax (@MiniMax_AI ) H3 — one of the leading open video models — now runs 10x faster and at half the cost on our inference stack. I’m building the company with long-time colleagues Teng Teng (@tt_tsio), Ye Wang (@yewang_ts), and Yun Tang (@_tangyun_). The AI stack was built for language models. We're rebuilding it for video and world models.

💡Prompt engineering doesn’t have to feel like an endless game of whack-a-mole. Tweak → test → review → repeat — until you run out of time or patience. We’ve built something to change that👇
