Here is why that costs you, and how I use Graphify so the agent asks a graph first and reads less.

Not on the evidence so far. Claude Motion writes code that animates your own material, and Anthropic says one change leaves the rest alone. In one X search for the launch terms, 44 of the top 100 posts came from Higgsfield's accounts or accounts whose bios mention it.
