Mentioned in the show
Haixin does not appear in the episodes quoted on this page; the following is a host’s relay and comment. In Weekly #004, in the chapter on Opus 5.5’s coding, vision and creativity (Chinese transcript), Orange says “I saw Haixin’s demo — she made a Mid-Autumn Festival cat video, giving only the script and music… this video model, Opus 5.5, did it in one shot, no revisions”, contrasting it with the two to three days of work it would take her own team, to illustrate how video-model generation changes the workload of professional creators (see that line).
