Recraft

We’re looking for designers and marketing specialists to try Recraft for the first time and tell us what works and what doesn’t. We’re running UX interviews to understand how people actually experience our product: what’s clear, what’s confusing, and where we can improve. You don’t need a design background. Your honest first impressions are the whole point. Here’s what’s involved. You’ll join a one-hour video call with someone from our team, explore the Recraft website, share what you think it does, and then work through a few simple tasks in Recraft Studio while thinking out loud. You’ll receive a $30 Amazon gift card for your time. If you’re interested, sign up for a slot on our LinkedIn Event below, then fill out this short form, and we’ll be in touch to schedule.

Another external model joins the lineup. Seedream 5.0 Pro is live in Recraft Studio for all your generations.

The Midnight Code Cup 2026 Finals took place this past weekend. The MCC is a programming contest created for the world's strongest problem-solvers to tackle complex challenges using the latest technology available. This is the second time we’ve organized this unparalleled competition:  > 500 teams from all over the globe competing for a spot in the finals > 29 teams with participants from 20 countries in the final 24-hour standoff to define the champion > Tough algorithmic, optimization and engineering problems, any tools were allowed, including AI Even though agents were allowed and encouraged, almost all teams stayed on the floor for the whole 24 hours. Solving the problems better than everyone else required human decision-making, orchestration and control. The participants created game and trading strategies, reversed neural networks, and searched for optimal solutions. This contest is not only a showdown between some of the smartest people on the planet, but also a valuable experiment and a window into the current state of AI. The winners are: 1 - team taxi (Thomas Guo, Jacob Teo, Siyong Huang) 2 - team superfight (Igor Pyshkin, Alex Morozov, Maksim Gorokhovskii) 3 - team itmo_1.2017 (Ilya Zban, Vladimir Smykalov, Ivan Belonogov) We are extremely proud to have organized it and grateful to the other sponsors who chose to support the MCC: Nebius, OpenAI, Alber Blanc, Revolut, Logical Intelligence, Joom, pinely, GPT4Telegram I AI bot and KINO.impact. Congratulations to the winners! Stay tuned for a full competition writeup and access to some of the problems.
