Looking at the technical report I'm a bit confused. The improvement from using their orchestrator models seems minimal (in some cases lower than just the model which I'm assuming is in the orchestrator's pool?). Maybe it&#x27

Pyodide is great. I teach coding to kids, mostly creating 2d games with Python, and it was always a pain to manage an environment for each student. Now I have a browser based environment that runs Pygame/Arcade/Pyglet in Pyodide,

Very well-executed version of this. I think this is the right interface for video editing going into the future. I've spent a bit of time on something related, AI-generating motion graphics videos from code, also editable/renderab
