My question was 'I want to learn about cloudflare.', but it kept failing('Failed to generate Explainer Video') generating video. I really want to try this...

I am really sorry for this experience. Right after posting in hackernews our system flooded with new users, which is exciting but we had to limit some of the requests.

Would you mind trying again? You can submit the same question again or a new one and it should create an explainer video for you.

Sorry again.

I tried again, but it still failed. Just in case, I logged in with another account, but it still failed the same way. I hope this get resolved soon!

Really sorry about this, especially after you took the time to try again with another account. We’ve now lifted the temporary generation limits that were put in place following the surge in traffic.

Would you mind giving it one more try? I really appreciate your patience and willingness to try OpenLume!

Is this open like openai is open?

Haha, good one :)

Jokes aside, my long-term goal is to make it open source and self-hostable, so you can run it with your own API key. So I guess you could say its somewhat open.
