Meta released an official Ads CLI for managing campaigns from the terminal — first-party automation surface that's faster than API wrappers and likely lower ban risk. Currently in closed beta with few accounts approved. @GuruTime detailed his Meta-only attribution/automation SaaS pivoting away from cross-channel, while BM bans on legit accounts and system-user permission quirks remain open pain points.
@arielletolome's Seedance 2.0 outputs via Higgsfield stole the show, with discussion covering image-to-video prompting, scene stitching for 2-minute outputs (Topview, custom MCP), and Higgsfield's tightening 'protected content' rules. Seedance is the consensus pick over Runway. @Wootbro shared OpenMontage as a full AI video engine, recommending fal.ai or Kie.ai as backends.
OpenRouter found Opus 4.7's new tokenizer effectively raises costs 12-27% on 2K+ prompts. Builders are pairing CC as orchestrator with Codex as coder (plus Warp, cmux, Augment Intent), and @jcartu reported Qwen 3.6 27B hitting ~80% SWE-bench at 150 tps on RTX Pro 6000 Blackwells — viable local replacement for Opus on coding tasks. Adobe's new Claude connector orchestrates Photoshop, Premiere, Firefly and Illustrator from one prompt.
@kennyaronson and @mb29266 detailed automated copy pipelines: customer avatar + 200-300 proven templates classified and retrieved via Pinecone, multi-agent eval loops, human-in-the-loop QC. Cross-vertical template porting (pest control → pain relief) dropped Meta CPA from $60 to $30. @jasonakatiff workshopped a B2B funnel to acquire 10K insurance agents buying leads, treating B2B acquisition like ecom.
@jasonakatiff outlined his Lead Router playbook — visiting 90% of core pages daily, fixing reported bugs in 1-3 minutes, and hiring a CEO (former Taboola US sales lead) on 25% vesting equity to own sales. Stack: Vercel, Railway, Neon snapshots as insurance against CC migrations. @iamgalba shared a $20K Stripe hold on a clean $60K-rev account, switching to Dodo Payments; @nickyfiorentino flagged Shopify registering as a payment processor in 13 states.
Key Takeaways
- Meta's official Ads CLI is live in closed beta — first-party agentic media buying surface, but won't replace custom attribution/automation stacks yet.
- Claude Opus 4.7 effectively costs 12-27% more on 2K+ prompts due to a quietly changed tokenizer — re-benchmark your bills.
- Qwen 3.6 27B on RTX Pro 6000 hits ~80% SWE-bench at 150 tps — local SOTA coding without Anthropic dependency is here.
- Seedance 2.0 via Higgsfield beats Runway for AI ad video, but stitch 15-second clips via Topview/MCP for long-form output.
- Dogfood your own SaaS daily, hire a CEO on 25% vesting equity to own sales, and use Neon/Supabase snapshots before letting CC touch DB migrations.
