Curated Prompts 24/7

The unlimited plan has a date on it.

Runway's Unlimited plan runs until August 31 and becomes Max on September 1. If you pay annually, your decision is due this month, and what goes away is the part that let you look before you knew.

The model moved into 2.5 gigabytes.

Liquid AI put a 2.6 billion parameter model on Hugging Face on August 4 that runs in under 2.5 GB of memory. It makes no pictures at all, which is exactly why it is worth your attention this week.

Five briefs, written out.

The five image jobs people are most often asked to produce, each written as a complete brief you can paste today, with the lines that must not move held apart from the lines left open.

Five prompts, written as objects.

A macro portrait, a product, an interior, a second shot of the same character, and a short clip. Each one complete, each one with the single line to change first.

AI Prompting in JSON.

Take one prompt you already use and write it out as an object. Three fields, one entry per thing in the picture, and a position only where the position is the point.

Four ways to shape a prompt.

Plain sentences, comma tags, blocks you keep constant, and JSON. Ideogram 4.0 reads JSON natively, and its own guide tells you when to stop using it.

The first courtroom answered.

Shipped, or merely announced.

Four releases in seven days. The question worth asking is not which is most impressive. It is which one you can put to work this afternoon, and the answers are further apart than the headlines suggest.
