Luma AI has introduced “Dream Machine”, a new AI system for video generation. Unlike similar systems such as those from OpenAI (“Sora”), Dream Machine is available for free for everyone to use. Users can create 5-second video clips simply by entering text. However, the quality of the results is not always convincing. The startup itself lists the weaknesses of Dream Machine on the product page. Source: VentureBeat
But that’s not all: Runway, a pioneer in the field of AI-generated videos, is introducing its latest model, Gen-3 Alpha. It enables realistic 10-second video clips with precise details and a wide range of expressions. The model, which is available to paying subscribers, promises faster generation times and is designed to support all existing modes such as text-to-video and picture-to-video. Runway emphasizes that Gen-3 Alpha is based on a new infrastructure for multimodal training and represents a step toward “general world models” (see glossary below). Source: VentureBeat
