How to generate AI images and video from one subscription with Magnific

Magnific, the Málaga company that was Freepik until April, now sells one subscription running 30-plus AI image and video models, upscaling and a 200-million-asset library. CEO Joaquín Cuenca says it reached $230 million in revenue without venture capital. Named users include the BBC, Puma and Amazon Prime Video. We cover how it works, what it costs from $10 to $280 a month, how it compares to Midjourney and Runway, and where copyright and credits trip buyers up.

Free-Claude-Code’s Nearly 30,000 Stars Show Claude Code’s Interface Is the Prize

Free-Claude-Code looks like a shortcut around Claude Code costs, but its nearly 30,000 GitHub stars point to something bigger: developers want the Claude Code workflow without being locked to one model provider.

Zed and Warp Both Ship AI Coding. They Bet on Opposite Surfaces.

Zed and Warp both ship AI coding, but they bet on opposite surfaces. Zed is an editor-first, open-source AI code editor built in Rust, with Tree-sitter and LSP depth, ACP and MCP external agents, and a local-first BYOK privacy posture. Warp is a terminal-born agentic development environment that orchestrates local and cloud agents through its Oz platform, metered by credits. The guide compares them on editing, AI model, collaboration, pricing, privacy, and licensing.
