Argon has this amazing natural understanding of the world. It can do so many things from first principles. Here's a pelican riding a bike, using fourier epicycles. Video made by Argon. Time-synced Lyria 3.5 music prompted by Argon.

One of many "oh, wow" moments I've had with Argon > Make a slow-reveal Fourier epicycle video of [thing], make the video in the style of the attached reference image, add a cinematic soundtrack using Lyria 3.5 and sync the music. x.com/fofrAI/status/…

The time-synced music is a fun detail alongside the epicycles. Did you have Argon plan the motion and musical cues together, or add the music after the animation was settled?
This is actually insane. Watching the epicycles scale up into a full 3D pelican actually pedaling with proper leg IK, all the math showing, and then the music hits in perfect sync... Argon really just gets it.
I am a 5x ultra user, I wanted to try Argon in and under an hour I hit limits. 2 sessions, Argon high, neither completed. Then I switched to Sonnet, and under 5 minutes it grained aswell. What is this???

Fourier epicycles for a pelican-on-a-bike is a nice flex of symbolic math, but "natural understanding of the world" and "can approximate a curve with enough harmonics" are different claims. Which one is the video actually demonstrating?
Okay, but can it fix the Gemini for Android app so that TalkBack speaks incoming responses automatically, so I don't have to write scripts to fix it, for a third-party screen reader? Can't script TalkBack because Google hasn't gotten that far yet.
impressed. now can we get a comparison to the non fourier epicycle based one. I'm trying to see something

Even though Argon has indeed become much stronger, it still depends on the person using the tool! 🫡📷 🫡

Ok, super cool. So N is the number of times it took to create the thing-which-I-won't-spoil? And about how long did it take to get from try #1 to try #1024? And did you have to nudge/intervene along the way?
