Great discussion with @thsottiaux and @steipete on the VivaTech main stage, led by @CharliePerreau
. We’ve moved from conversations with AI to systems that can take action and pursue goals. The momentum behind Codex and agents is impossible to miss!

Research agents excel at resolving implementation issues, not novel discoveries
By

1/N Model capabilities today are subpar for end-to-end autonomous research, what we would categorize as the ability to make “novel discoveries”. However, in our experimentation, research agents have proven to be an excellent way to resolve implementation issues and carry out

Introducing autoresearch for arXiv papers
— alphaXiv (@askalphaxiv) 18 juin 2026
Change 'arxiv' to 'autoarxiv' in any paper URL
An agent deploys to resolve setup issues on the codebase, run a minimal reproduction, and estimate full replication cost.

Separate discussion thread for managing long-term goals
By
–
My best advice for long-term goals is to have a separate discussion thread (or /side) where you can ask the agent to review the work on your goal and debate how to update the guidelines for it so it doesn't derail.

There is also: "AI will not replace humans at work, but the one who uses AI will replace the one who does not" Or again "Humans must always have the final say in decisions" And also "AI only automates low-value-added tasks"

THIS DEV TURNED A DESK LAMP INTO A LIVE CLAUDE CODE INDICATOR 🤯
— Charly Wargnier (@DataChaz) 18 juin 2026
It changes colors in real-time based on exactly what Claude is doing:
🧠 Thinking = one color
💻 Writing code = color shifts
✅ Finished = changes again
❌ Error = instant alert

AI video speed: creators turn images into cinematic sequences instantly
By
–
What stood out to me most is not the quality. It’s the speed. AI video systems now let creators: → Turn static images into moving cinematic sequences
→ Add or remove objects with prompts
→ Instantly change lighting, style, and environments
→ Generate video + audio together -
Grok Imagine API revolutionizes video creation via text prompts

The biggest disruption in filmmaking is not better cameras.
— Ronald van Loon (@Ronald_vanLoon) 18 juin 2026
It’s this:
With tools like the Grok Imagine API from @xai, you can now create and edit cinematic video scenes with simple text prompts.
No production crew.
No reshoots.
No weeks of iteration.
Just ideas → video in… pic.twitter.com/lpjWTtKuuHThe biggest disruption in filmmaking is not better cameras. It’s this: With tools like the Grok Imagine API from @xai
