We recently gave every creative on @contra a US account and routing number, unlocking a simpler way to get paid. It works like this: - Create an invoice with bank transfer enabled - Your client gets an email with your bank details - They sent a wire from their bank Within 24 hours, the payment arrives, and the invoice is marked paid. The best part: transfers count toward your Contra earnings and help build your reputation.

Excited to go on stage with @contraben at the Convergence: RL Summit to chat all things creativity. See you there 🫡

GPT-6 Astra, the latest frontier-level model from @OpenAI, is the only model in our latest Human Creativity Benchmark study to build a complete, working user flow. It lands 2nd overall on our leaderboard, behind Claude Fable 5.1 and ahead of GPT-5.6 Sol in 4th. We ran it against Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Opus 5, Muse Spark 1.1, and its predecessor GPT-5.6 Sol, across ideation, mockup, and refinement.

ChatGPT Images 2.5 Flare lands 2nd overall on our Human Creativity Benchmark leaderboard, almost on par with Muse Image and ahead of ChatGPT Images 2.0 and Nano Banana Pro. It is the latest frontier-level image model from @OpenAI. We ran it against Muse Image, Krea 2 Medium, Flux 2[max], and its predecessor ChatGPT Images 2.0, across ideation, mockup, and refinement phases.

Muse Spark 1.3 will reshape the economics of coding agents. The quality to cost ratio is exceptional, especially once an agent has a direction and moves from ideation into execution and refinement. On our Landing Page leaderboard, Muse Spark 1.3 ranked #8 overall with a 42.3% win rate, landing just behind Gemini 3.6 Flash and ahead of DeepSeek V4 Flash. It is the latest frontier-level model from @AIatMeta. We also ran it through our Human Creativity Benchmark against Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-5.6 Sol, Kimi K3, and Muse Spark 1.1 across three stages of the creative process: Ideation → Mockup → Refinement The results show where Muse Spark 1.3 gets especially interesting: turning an existing creative direction into a high-quality finished product at extremely low cost.

come work with meeeee

Since claude is down, I guess I finally have time to share that Fable 5.1 leads all four dimensions on our Human Creativity Benchmark: >general preference, >usability, >prompt adherence, and >visual appeal. Its biggest lead is at Ideation, where models produce a website from the prompt alone. One designer called the output "the perfect alliance between the prompt and the output," and "client ready in its first look.”

damn fable 5.1 真的能自己研究明白怎么写狂草

Calling all the agency managers, operators, and strategists that are interested in making a move to the AI space (while staying close to creative). We’d love to have you!

This is a rare one for agency account/project leads ready to move into AI + tech.

Calling all studios & agencies at @webflow. Meet up with @JonathanB0715 to hear the latest at @contra!

Our invoice preview and PDFs just got a massive facelift. Funny enough, we were still using the same PDF rendering from our launch. Safe to say it was time for an upgrade. + You can now add your recipient's business details upfront 🫧

Here's how to accept payments with zero fees - Create a @contra account - Share your US bank details with your client - Get paid in directly to your wallet Send me a DM if you want a demo

Another great event in the books 👌 Coming to San Fransisco in September. Who should we chat with next?

We're always looking to hang with folks that want to geek out on Creative Intelligence! Thanks @vamsibatchuk for coming to the NYC office - who's next?!

rolling up to the @contralabs_ai x @WorklifeVC AI and creativity workshop with my girls

I’ll be moderating the panel at @contra’s office with @johnbai, @round, @ajnulty. Really interesting convo on scaling design teams, internal guardrails for team using AI, and how personal design philosophies have changed! luma.com/0t9hold9

Excited to moderate this chat between @floraai, @MagicPathAI, and @cursor_ai on the creative edge. Join us next Thursday (August 13th)!
