Runway's New Gen-3 Raises the Bar for AI-Generated Videos
Video Generated by Runway Gen-3 Alpha
The race to develop high-quality AI-generated videos is intensifying, and Runway has taken a significant leap forward with the unveiling of its new Gen-3 Alpha model. This cutting-edge AI system generates video clips from text prompts and still images, boasting major improvements in generation speed, fidelity, and control over previous models.
Details:
Gen-3 Alpha excels at creating expressive human characters with a wide range of actions, gestures, and emotions, interpreting cinematic terminology for imaginative transitions and precise keyframing.
While currently limited to 10-second clips, Gen-3 Alpha offers a glimpse into Runway's ambitious plans for a next-generation family of video-generating models built on upgraded infrastructure.
The model promises faster generation times, with 5-second clips taking just 45 seconds and 10-second clips taking 90 seconds to generate.
As the capabilities of AI video generation continue to advance, the impact on the film and TV industry is becoming increasingly evident. Major studios and directors are already reconsidering their strategies, and a recent study suggests that over 100,000 U.S. entertainment jobs could be disrupted by generative AI by 2026.
Perplexity
Perplexity steals the show from Google in temp, currency, and math
Perplexity, the AI-powered search engine, has introduced a new feature that displays direct results for basic queries such as weather, time, currency conversion, and simple math calculations. This move aims to provide users with a more efficient search experience by eliminating the need to navigate to other search engines for these common queries.
Details:
Perplexity now shows prominent cards with visual information for queries like weather conditions, time at a location, currency exchange rates, and basic math problems.
While Perplexity could previously fetch this data from the web, the new feature enhances the presentation of these results, making them more accessible and visually appealing.
This development aligns with Perplexity's goal of becoming a comprehensive search solution, reducing the need for users to rely on multiple platforms for different types of queries.
As Perplexity continues to evolve, it remains committed to addressing concerns regarding content attribution and exploring revenue-sharing models with publications to support a sustainable ecosystem for AI-powered search.
