Published by Parlour News

Meta seems to be leaving no stone unturned in its bid to dominate the AI landscape. On Friday, the Mark Zuckerberg-led tech giant announced that it had created a new AI model named Movie Gen which can generate realistic video and audio clips in response to prompts. The company claims that it can rival some of the most capable AI video tools from the likes of OpenAI and ElevenLabs. This development comes months after OpenAI introduced its video model Sora to the world. Even though Sora is not yet out in public, demos shared by OpenAI created a frenzy on the internet especially owing to its hyperrealistic footage and motion that seemed straight out of Hollywood. What is Movie Gen? Meta’s Movie Gen generates videos with the help of text inputs and it can even edit existing footage or still images.

Chinese technology company Alibaba released on Thursday new open-source artificial intelligence models and text-to-video AI technology, intensifying its efforts to compete in the booming area of generative AI. The open-source models, numbering more than 100, come from Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5 family, its latest foundational large language model released in May. Chinese technology companies, like their U.S. counterparts, have been investing heavily in generative AI, with firms racing to develop robust product portfolios and diversified offerings. While competitors such as Baidu and OpenAI have primarily adopted closed-source approaches, Alibaba has embraced a hybrid model, investing in both proprietary and open-source development to broaden its AI product range. Its new models range from 0.5 to 72 billion parameters – the variables that determine an AI model’s capability and performance – in size, offering proficiency in mathematics, coding, and support for over 29 languages, Alibaba said in a statement. The models aim to cater to a wide array of AI applications across various sectors including automotive, gaming, and scientific research. Alibaba on Thursday also unveiled a new text-to-video …

Published by Webster

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, introduced its first artificial intelligence (AI)-powered text-to-video generation model Sora on Thursday. The company claims it can generate up to 60-second-long videos. This is longer than any of its competitors in the segment, including Google’s Lumiere, which was unveiled last month. Sora is currently available to red teamers, cybersecurity experts who extensively test software to help companies improve their software, and some content creators. The AI firm also plans to include Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) metadata in the future once the model is deployed in an OpenAI product. Announcing the AI video generator in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), the company said, “Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions.” Interestingly, the length of the video it claims to generate is more than ten times of what its rivals offer. Google’s Lumiere can generate 5-second-long videos, whereas Runway AI and Pika 1.0 can generate 4-second and 3-second-long videos, respectively. Prompt: …
