Muse Spark 1.3 Max released with stronger coding and agentic performance

Reddit users discuss optimizing Minimax H3 video generation speed, comparing turbo LoRAs, SLA attention, and step counts. One user reports 1920x1088 10-second clips in 5 minutes using a 4-step turbo LoRA with SLA attention on an RTX 5090.

Robotic gripping fails due to lack of real-time contact feedback, not mechanical strength. Pressure sensors measure distributed stress at contact, enabling early detection of micro slips and load redistribution within milliseconds.

A Reddit user asked Fable 5.1 and Astra to write their funniest original joke, sparking a 78-comment debate. The post includes jokes from both models, with users voting on which is funnier.
