ERNIE 5.5 Flash auto-generates a full explainer video in ~8 minutes from a single prompt
omarsar0 · x · 2026-11-13
Elvis Saravia reports that Baidu's ERNIE 5.5 Flash Preview produced a short video explaining recursive self-improvement from one prompt—'make a short video explaining RSI'—using pi as the agent harness and ElevenLabs for voice, with everything else done by ERNIE in about 8 minutes; frontier models would take 2x-5x longer. He uses model-generated visual explainers for papers and talks and sees flash models as a strong fit for this workflow, with a deeper writeup to come.
