You’re probably wondering what I’m doing here on Sunday.

Here’s why:

Ofc both are really really good. But one is in 4k and one is 1080p.

Not just the details, but the fact that I gave it the below and it removed the stairs (without my instructions) and made it. I WAS MINDBLOWN.

That’s seedream 4.0. Same makers as TikTok. And it already feels better than nanobanana which just came legit a few weeks back.

And it’s not just me. Benchmarks say the same:

Since it’s a special edition. This time the news isn’t what’s happening in AI. But rather AI updates from the top companies we use daily:

You saw the example. But then I was like, how does it compare in terms of editing?

1. Context given:

Prompt: @vaibhav wearing @hawainclothes in @img1 (goa beach)

Nanobanana:

Clothes right. Yes
Background right. Yes
Me? NOPE

Seedance:

Everything RIGHT

But my beard looks off lol

I can go on about this and show you more proof. But here’s what people on X had to say too:

You get the point.

The point of today’s edition was to give you a glimpse of how fast benchmarks are broken in this field. Where even Google, who we thought completely disrupted, got out-disrupted in just a few weeks.

And of course, to ensure you’re the first to know whether the hype for seedream 4 is actually legit or just great marketing.

Have a good Sunday.

And let me know some prompts to test on seedream if you don’t have access to it. I’ll share the output with the first 50 who reply!

Until next time,
Vaibhav 🤝

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
