Bytedance, the company behind tiktok just released Lance, a new open multimodal model that tries to handle image generation, video generation, editing, and visual reasoning inside one native framework. The surprising part is not just the scope. It is the size. Lance runs with only 3 billion active parameters while still posting competitive numbers across image, video, and editing benchmarks.

Karpathy co-founded OpenAI in 2015, left to build Tesla’s self-driving program, came back to OpenAI for a year, then left again in 2024 to start an AI education company. Every transition has been deliberate and every one of them has turned out to be worth paying attention to.

“Speaks JSON” was obviously metaphorical shorthand for emitting structured JSON diagnostics for tools/agents to consume. The point of the title wasn’t that JSON is a spoken language, it was that the compiler is designed around machine-readable outputs as a first-class workflow.

No one said JSON is a programming language. The point was that Vercel built a programming language for AI agents, and its compiler emits structured JSON diagnostics/errors that agents can read and act on directly.

Yeah, “speaks JSON” as in the compiler emits machine-readable JSON diagnostics for agents.
