How do I say it louder?
Raea is the solution for faster rendering speeds. Real creators canāt use hyperframes or remotion for real creative.
Raea is completely open source and built for local rendering speeds while remaining react/typescript focused.
1.8k stars now and rising.

Dear Startup Founders of San Francisco.
Request for a startup:
a rendering platform ONLY for video editing. Figure out the fastest way to render videos and let claude and codex plug into it, and it renders any type of video and returns a download link with the video. AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
I have a theory that in one year most video editing software will be bloat. And that the best editor will be claude code and codex editing the files headless. These videos will need to be rendered somehow. The better the models get the more aspirational people will get with their videos.
Creating an 20 minute video that renders in 8k on blender at the highest quality should be no problem.
There are alot of cloud providers that technically offer this but they are sloppy for this use case, and drain tokens unnecessarily.

THIS FREE ENGINE RENDERS AI VIDEO UP TO 20x FASTER THAN REMOTION, AND IT NEVER OPENS A BROWSER
Raea skips the browser and talks to your GPU directly.
ā write scenes in TypeScript + React
ā renders locally via Rust and Bevy
ā makes 3D scenes, games, music and sound effects
ā Claude Code can write it, render it, check the result and fix it
Free, on macOS, Linux and Windows.
How long does your video render take right now?

I need people to understand how insane this is.
Weāre talking about technology competing with tools backed by companies with access to substantial capital, engineering teams, and resources.
Meanwhile, my fiancƩ @shinyobjectz_ built Raea, an open-source rendering engine, with ZERO funding, ZERO employees, and a team of ONE.
3.4 seconds vs. 23.3 seconds. Same prompt. Same export conditions.
And the only āinvestorā behind him this past year? Me. š„¹
I became our sole income provider so he could go all in on AI engineering, data science, and building something he believed should exist.
No VC funding. No multimillion-dollar budget. Just an absurdly talented engineer with the freedom to build.
When I say heās my greatest investment, I mean it. š¤ā¤ļø

every night i have a set of 6-10 fun explainers made using raea and ElevenLabs about current work and projects
this one is about Rat King, my at proto based communication and coordination framework in my "definitely not a software factory" harness
Shane retweeted
Same prompt for both.
āCreate a 10-second animated short called Moon-O-Matic. A vending machine dispenses the moon. Come up with your own artwork, animation, and ending.ā
Separate matched export on Windows took 3.4s in Raea and 23.3s in HyperFrames. Which cut would you keep?
Shane retweeted
PM asked for a video of what we'd built so far.
So I made a skill for it on top of raea: create-video-for
It asks about sound and length, storyboards it, records the real app, cuts it in raea and checks every frame before you see it.
It runs on all OS not just mac, link š
Im tired of infinite canvas startups.
Im tired of generative video snake oil providers.
Im tired of hype for hyperframes, as html and playwright is a dumb long term solution for video rendering.
So I decided to build Raea. Open source. Free for everyone.
Faster and more capable than hyperframes or remotion. (10-20x faster with real footage and complex scenes).
And it renders without a browserā¦.
Capable of more than just video. Itās built on @BevyEngine so itās highly capable at producing 3D art, shaders and games.
Itās also built on Blitz Dom @dioxuslabs , and a bridge between the page and the 3d world behind it allows you and your agent to write everything in typescript and reactā¦ without a browser.
This video below was made entirely with Claude, Raea, and a weekend. I never had more fun playing and toying with creative work than I did making this.
But to be honest, thatās not where Iām stopping. I want Raea to be an engine that correctly empowers creatives and agents, while not cognitively offloading the parts that make your work unique.
Iām excited to continue working on this project as long as I can, and always open to feedback!

Alright. Raea + Claude Opus 5.5 is pretty sweet ngl.
This was like 30 mins of my time prompting/directing. Claude did all the rest with Midjourney/ImagineArt MCP + some gifs from the new GPT Image 2.6.

Every AI video tool right now: spin up Chrome, screenshot frames, pray.
Raea doesn't. It's a game engine your agent drives with TypeScript and React, rendering straight on your own machine.
Free, no account. The demo below was one weekend with Claude.

If you needed 50 new ads next month, would you actually be testing 50 different strategic bets... or just 50 variations of the same thing? š
Because producing more creative doesn't automatically mean you're learning more from it. And that's one of the conversations I'm bringing to TikTok's NYC office next week! If you're in the city... checkout the event details below. š„³

And one day, if youāre lucky enough, youāll end up working with the love of your life not once, not twice, but yet another time (truthfully, Iāve lost count). š
Nearly 8 years ago, Shane Murphy and I met as direct response video editors at Mutesix in Culver City, California.
Fast forward to today, and weāre joining ContentJet as Head of Performance Creative and Head of Digital Technologyā¦ yes, you heard that correctly! We are leading our own parts of the business, TOGETHER. š„¹
And to think it all started with me asking the internet to help me find my fiancĆ©ās ābetter halfā in business. š Within minutes, the video went viral and the internet ironically reminded me that weāve always complemented each other in business too.
Apparently the algorithm gods decided they owed us one, because the Reel was served to the ContentJet team, they watched it, and made the first move. (Cassandra Kranjec, you rock! š)
So how will this marketing + machine learning duo work together in partnership with ContentJet? šāØš¤
The challenge with scaling paid media isnāt just spending more, itās building a creative engine that can keep producing enough of the right ideas, tests and iterations to support that spend without sacrificing quality.
My job is bringing a decade of tested performance creative strategy to ContentJet, shaped across thousands of accounts in nearly every vertical you can imagine, hundreds of millions in ad spend and billions in revenue, then turning that experience into the systems, testing plans and strategy our team uses to scale clients without sacrificing quality for volume.
Meanwhile, Shane is personally building the technology underneath all of it, creating the systems, infrastructure and machine learning capabilities that allow our creative engine to keep up as the volume scales. š¤
Eight years ago, we didnāt know it, but we were just getting started. Now we get to build what comes next, side by side, once again. @shinyobjectz_ #ContentJet

my coding agents kept renaming my own concepts back to me. a "thread" becomes a "session", a settled idea gets reinvented under a new name, every css file grows another slightly different gray. none of it is wrong exactly. it just stops meaning anything.

Vellum Command is open to private beta requests on vellumcommand.com/
It's an AI factory app. Manage all your agents and machines in one place, organize them and get them to do work autonomously. Use the canvas as novel way to do prompt and context engineering, pairing the harness integration with your layout. Define resource, capabilities and relationships between agents and vellum resources with a single connection. Design your factory however you like, connect agents to task sinks and watch them work on it task by task, moving them to the completion through any criteria you define.
First class support for agent initiated escalation. A blocked agent is no longer a lost terminal session, but an alarm ringing in your factory. Visible, addressable, auditable. Allowing agents to escalate to you - the operator - is a super underrated way to actually allow the autonomous, well defined work to go ahead seamlessly.
And much more. From a solo builder to solo builders.

Any neurodivergents out there whoāve felt like AI has changed their life for the betterā¦ this is for you š
Every founder I know is quietly struggling with the same thing and nobody talks about it.
I have ADD and General Anxiety Disorder.
I've also built four companies in six years.
Every single one was a war with my own head.
A hundred ideas, twelve finished. Knowing I could build something real but losing the thread halfway through every time.
Then I found @claudeai .
And for the first time in my life I could finish what I started. Not because it wrote code for me ā because it could hold context while my mind raced ahead. It caught what I dropped. It thought with me.
19% of Americans are neurodivergent. Founders with ADHD are 5x more likely to start a business. That's a massive community of builders and nobody is speaking to them.
I want to be that person.
I wasn't looking for a job. Then I saw @AnthropicAI hiring a Claude Evangelist and my whole body said go.
