Three Years. One Comparison. No Going Back. Min Choi posted a side-by-side video comparison this week that genuinely stopped me mid-scroll. Left side: Modelscope, 2023. Right side: Grok Imagine v1, April 2026. Same basic prompt, same general idea, three years apart. If you haven’t seen it, go find it at https://x.com/minchoi/status/2043743669258174918 and give it 30…

New model drops, benchmarks improve, everyone tweets about it, and two weeks later it’s the baseline expectation. So when Min Choi posted his side-by-side comparison this week, Modelscope from 2023 on the left…
3 years of AI video generation, side by side. Min Choi posted a comparison this week that stopped me cold. Modelscope on the left from 2023. Grok Imagine v1 on the right from today. The difference is not incremental. It looks like a decade of progress compressed into 36 months. Modelscope was genuinely impressive when…
The Skill That Will Separate Good Agentic Engineers From Great Ones Everyone is debating which model to run, which framework to wrap it in, which IDE plugin to install. Those are real decisions. But after watching a lot of agentic projects stall out, I’m convinced the actual bottleneck is upstream of all of them. It’s…
Thinking Is the Bottleneck. Not the Model. There is a conversation happening right now in almost every engineering team I know, and it goes something like this: “Are we on Claude or GPT-4o? Should we switch to Gemini? What about the new Llama release?” The debate sounds productive. It feels like due diligence. It is…
