“a cutting-edge AI startup”The Telegraph, on OptimusClips
A piece on choosing an apprenticeship over university, in which OptimusClips is described as a cutting-edge AI startup. The article sits behind the Telegraph's paywall and its site blocks automated crawlers, which is why the reference is recorded here.
A national feature on the financial case for apprenticeships over a degree, which names OptimusClips as the AI video clipping platform its subject founded.
A founder byline by Maxwell Melia arguing that most products built on third-party vision APIs only ever look at a fraction of a video: sampling roughly one frame a second, on budget model tiers, to keep the bill down. Fast action is exactly what makes a highlight, and a goal or a crash can happen entirely between two sampled frames. The piece makes the case for self-hosting open-weight models on dedicated GPUs where video understanding is the product rather than a feature.
OptimusClips is a UK AI video clipping platform. It takes a long video, a YouTube, Twitch or Kick link or an uploaded file, and returns the short vertical clips worth posting. Where most tools in the category choose their clips from the transcript, OptimusClips self-hosts a vision model and runs it over the frames alongside the audio and transcript, so it can find moments that were never spoken aloud. On Video-MME, the standard video-understanding benchmark, that model matches Gemini 2.5 Pro.
It is not connected to OpusClip, a separate and unrelated product, nor to the Transformers character.
