Infinity is a script-to-movie foundation model. Creators provide a script describing the actions and dialogue of their characters and get back a video with highly expressive virtual actors. Our first product allows people to generate talking head videos with AI.
Over 10 years of experience working on AI/ML and synthetic media. Previously, I co-founded Edge Analytics, a boutique consulting firm that developed algorithms and shipped products for startups and Fortune 500 tech companies. I received my PhD from MIT and Harvard, where I developed a portable MRI sensor. I am originally from Brazil and love playing music and dancing. I am vlogging about my YC experience!

ML Engineering + Product. Prior to Infinity, I co-founded Edge Analytics, an ML consulting company that we grew to 12 mostly PhD-level engineers and $3M/year in revenue. Prior to that, went to MIT to get PhD in ML algorithms for medical imaging. Dropped out. Originally from Switzerland.

tl;dr — Infinity is building a foundation model that turns scripts into movies. Today, you can join our Discord and generate talking head videos of various celebrities (and even yourself) saying whatever you want.

We think that people are at the center of stories. So we’re on a mission to build the world’s best model for generating human motion and emotion.
.
Today, we’re training a model for each actor based on existing footage of them. We’re also currently training a diffusion transformer model, which will be v1 of our script-to-movie foundation model.
Here’s how to use the tool. PS — Happy Pi Day 🍰 from some MIT alums!

Here is a video we made about TruffleMuzzle, a fake W24 startup that makes muzzles for truffle-hunting dogs. YC TV, hosted by Jared and Surbhi, follows YC startups as they “go through” the batch.
.
We believe a team of 3 writers — with no actors, directors, or other crew — will win an Academy Award in the next 10 years.
✨ We are building the tech they’ll use to do that. ✨
.
From the canvas to the camera, the progression of art has been inextricably linked to the progression of new technologies. And each new technology tends to democratize the number of people who are able to create in that medium.
.
We are excited to empower everyone to bring their stories to life.

Andrew, Sidney, and Lina have been building companies together for the past 5 years (Infinity is our 2nd), but we’ve known each other for over 10 years.
We met and studied engineering at Duke. Andrew got his PhD at Stanford. Lina got her PhD at MIT. And Sidney was smart and dropped out of his MIT PhD.
Our first company was a 10-person, multi-million dollar ML consulting agency where we developed and shipped AI products for Nike, Google, and other tech companies.
🎨 Go to our Discord and generate videos! The person who generates the BEST video by next Friday (Mar 23) will win $100. 🥇Tag us in Discord on any videos you want entered into the competition. (* Selected by us)
