omarsar had Baidu's ERNIE 5.5 Flash Preview produce a short explainer video on recursive self-improvement in one shot: the model wrote the diagram/chart code, the script, and rendered the film, with pi as agent harness and ElevenLabs for voice — about 8 minutes total vs 2-5x longer on frontier models. It's a 280B model with 14B active parameters and a 1M-token context, built for long-running agent work and also tuned for game development. Flash-tier models are executing these tasks faster and better than possible months ago.
