YC Launch: OpenLake

OpenLake Technologies · Nov 2026 · 1:21 · AI-annotated · YC Fall 2026

00:00:00 / 01:21:05

The video alternates a sunlit talking-head interview with flat light-gray infographics, all built from one recurring blue particle system that forms numbers, model spheres, and the logo. Each idea gets a short navy headline and a slow dot-cloud animation, keeping the pace steady at about eight cuts a minute.

Footage neededEstimated needs: 2 capture groups — your screens or recordings · 1 official logo — reused across the film · 6 filmed passages — shoot, supply or replace · 6 graphic passages — draw or supply

  1. 01 · Hook · 0:00–0:02

    A man with glasses sits in a rust armchair, speaking to camera in a sunlit office. A static medium shot frames him between two leather couches and potted plants, with warm light spilling through a large window on the left.

  2. 02 · Hook · 0:02–0:05

    On a light gray card, a swarm of blue dots condenses into the number 30,000,000, then fills in as solid blue type. The headline, GPU HOURS label and small captions fade in to full opacity as the digits form.

    On-screen text: “Frontier intelligence, designed for you.”, “Training starts at an extraordinary scale.”, “GPU HOURS”, “To train a foundation model”, “THE SCALE OF THE STARTING POINT”, “30,000,000”

  3. 03 · Problem · 0:05–0:08

    A man in a dark polo and glasses sits in a sunlit loft, speaking to camera with hands clasped, leather sofas and plants behind him. The shot cuts to a light gray card where the blue OpenLake logo and a tagline sit in the top left corner.

    On-screen text: “Frontier intelligence, designed for you.”

    Camera: Static

  4. 04 · Problem · 0:08–0:15

    On a light gray field, three particle clusters labeled Company data, Knowledge and Expertise sit left of a large particle sphere. Dotted lines draw from each cluster into the sphere as it fills with dots, the headline fades in, then the layout fades out.

    On-screen text: “OpenLake”, “Frontier intelligence, designed for you.”, “Your data. Your competitive edge.”, “Build intelligence around what makes your business unique.”, “Company data”, “Your company information”, “Knowledge”, “Years of accumulated knowledge”, “Expertise”, “The expertise that sets you apart”

  5. 05 · Problem · 0:15–0:24

    A light-gray infographic fades in under the OpenLake logo, pairing a dotted data cylinder and model sphere with growing dot grids for compute and engineering time. Overlapping card layers stack in the middle as the grids fill in.

    On-screen text: “Frontier intelligence, designed for you.”, “The data never stops. Neither does the work.”, “Keeping models current takes compute and engineering talent.”, “Compute”, “New data”, “Engineering time”, “Model updates”, “Keeping pace takes more than compute.”

    Camera: Static

  6. 06 · Problem · 0:24–0:29

    A man in a dark shirt and glasses sits cross-legged in a chair, facing the camera and gesturing with both hands as he speaks. The loft set has two brown sofas, potted plants, white wall panels, and warm light from a large window on the left.

    Camera: Static

  7. 07 · Problem · 0:29–0:39

    OpenLake logo top left on light gray. The headline “Every update starts again.” fades in above four cubes of drifting dots that build in sequence, labeled 01 Prepare data to 04 Deploy. Dashed lines join the cubes, then a dashed arc loops back with the caption “New data. Repeat.”

    On-screen text: “Frontier intelligence, designed for you.”, “Every update starts again.”, “The work behind each new model version.”, “01”, “02”, “03”, “04”, “Prepare data”, “Train”, “Evaluate', 'Deploy', 'New data. Repeat.' (note: corrected below)”

  8. 08 · Product intro · 0:39–0:43

    A man in a dark shirt and glasses sits cross-legged in a sunlit loft, flanked by leather sofas and potted plants. He faces the camera and speaks, opening his hands in small gestures against the warm window light.

    Camera: Static

  9. 09 · Product intro · 0:43–0:49

    A flat OpenLake diagram on a light gray field: a request card feeds a circular particle cloud labeled Live Inference, which streams a typed answer into a response card. Dotted lines then loop feedback back to a Training pill.

    On-screen text: “Frontier intelligence, designed for you.”, “Intelligence, on demand.”, “Requests in. Answers out. Continuously.”, “An answer, as it is generated.”, “Learning from use”

  10. 10 · Feature reveal · 0:49–0:53

    A crossfade resolves into a diagram on a light gray field: a dense sphere of small blue dots at the center, ringed by a dotted orbit labeled Conversations, Feedback, Training, and Updated model. The dot sphere rotates slowly under the headline, then the scene dissolves into a model list.

    On-screen text: “A model that keeps improving.”, “Your conversations and feedback become training data.”

  11. 11 · Feature reveal · 0:53–1:00

    A blue particle swarm slides from the selected Kimi button along a dotted arc into the right-hand card as a checkmark pops onto the button. The card's status label steps from Ready to deploy to Deploying to Deployed, then the whole frame fades out.

    On-screen text: “Frontier intelligence, designed for you.”, “Choose a model. Make it yours.”, “Start with a popular open-source model.”

    Camera: Push in

  12. 12 · Feature reveal · 1:00–1:01

    A pale product screen cross-fades from a model picker with Kimi selected to a Bring your own expertise panel. On the right, a scattered particle cloud condenses into a sphere labeled Your model, with particle shapes beside RL environments and Domain datasets.

    Camera: Static

  13. 13 · Feature reveal · 1:01–1:05

    A light gray slide holds the OpenLake wordmark and a navy headline, “Bring your own expertise.” Below, two blue dot-cloud shapes, a capsule and a cube, sit left of a larger dot sphere; dotted lines draw from them to the sphere as the point clouds rotate slowly.

    On-screen text: “Frontier intelligence, designed for you.”, “Bring your own expertise.”, “Connect the training inputs that matter to your work.”, “RL environments”, “Experiments & feedback”, “Domain datasets”, “Your specialized knowledge”, “Your model”

  15. 15 · Social proof · 1:07–1:14

    A man with glasses sits in a chair in a sunlit lounge, gesturing with his hands as he speaks to the camera. Warm light streams through large windows behind him, illuminating couches and potted plants in the background.
