Nura Studios Announces Showcraft Platform for AI Supported Animation

Apr 30, 2026
Nura Studios, founded by veterans from Apple, Unity, and Roblox, has unveiled Showcraft, an AI supported animation platform entering Early Access on May 19. The platform helps studios turn existing assets into animated episodic content.

Nura Studios, founded by veterans from Apple Inc., Unity, and Roblox, announced in a press release that its animation platform Showcraft will enter Early Access on May 19.

Showcraft is designed to let game and animation studios transform existing human-created assets such as characters and environments into episodic series and films. The platform uses AI models that are fine-tuned to work with artist-created content rather than generating material from text prompts. This approach aims to preserve the artistic style and narrative intent of the source material.

The integrated platform connects story development, pre-production, visual and voice creation, and final editing in one environment. It manages AI processes behind the scenes, providing a controlled workflow for consistent visual and narrative quality.

Nura also operates Nura Atelier, an in-house studio that uses Showcraft to produce episodic content with selected partners. The company is supported by seed funding from iGlobe Partners, Fellows Fund, and Shanda Ventures and plans to expand its creator ecosystem and production capabilities over time.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
