- Motion
- Smooth card entrance with isometric perspective elevation.
Problem Agitation
Cost Disruption
“If you are building an agent for any of these industries and are using Claude or GPT in either your main loop or for sub-agents, UM Flash is an obvious drop-in replacement to both improve quality and pass on cost savings to your customers.”
- On screen
- Output price per million tokens Claude Fable 5 $50.00 Ultramarine 1 Flash $0.50 100x cheaper
- Camera
- Cut between direct presenter address and high-contrast vertical bar chart.
- Motion
- Height-based bar expansion with connecting callout bracket.
Feature Teaser
Feather App Demo
“If you just want to try the model out, we are also releasing the Feather app, which is a very simple, easy-to-use interface for non-technical users.”
