Google just dropped a new video-based AI
New year, new AI. The year 2023 saw some massive launches in the world of AI with the likes of GPT-4, Gemini, and Midjourney V6, to name a few, and it looks like 2024 will be no different.
Google is coming out swinging in the new year with its latest model: VideoPoet. VideoPoet is the latest addition to Google’s promised “multimodal AI,” meaning it can generate text, audio, images, and even video. The last part is where VideoPoet fits in.
VideoPoet is an experimental large language model (LLM) that’s capable of a number of different video-related generation tasks, including text-to-video, image-to-video, and even video-to-audio.
Take text-to-video as an example. You can input something as ridiculous as a “raccoon sipping wine in Times Square,” and within a few seconds, you will have the generated video ready to be shared in whatever style you requested. Just imagine the Mona Lisa lip-syncing an ABBA song.
Already have an image you want animated? Drop it in, and VideoPoet will generate a short clip based on the image. Once the video is generated, you can edit it further and stylize it to how you want just by telling the AI your instructions.
What if you only had to do your call prep routine once — ever?
You know the one. LinkedIn. Crunchbase. CRM. Inbox. Last transcript. Fifteen minutes, every time, before every call. Lightfield is an AI-native CRM that just shipped Skills. Describe any routine in plain English — and the CRM learns it. Next time: "Prep me for my call with Acme." That's it. It does the whole thing. "Score every deal in my pipeline using my criteria." Done. "Research this account the way I would." Done. Teach it how you sell and watch it go to work for you. 2,500+ startups already have.
🐁 Uh, oh, Mickey: One of the big stories from the New Year revolved around Mickey Mouse. Steamboat Willie, an early version of the iconic mascot, hit the public domain, and chaos ensued. Of course, a Mickey Mouse-themed horror movie is in the works.
🧬 It's science, baby: Science and AI have teamed up to form the most hyped partnership since The Avengers. Not to fight aliens but to fight illness. Scientists have potentially discovered a new antibiotic to fight drug-resistant bugs with the help of AI.
