A text-to-video generator that can turn any object into cake might not be at the top of your wish list — but you might just find it to be a surprisingly satisfying feature you never knew you needed.
“Cake-ify” is just one of the presets coming to Pika Labs’ new state-of-the-art model, Pika 1.5: There’s also Melt It, Explode It, Inflate It, and Crush It — which each do just as their names suggest. Are they practical? Maybe not — but who can deny the fun factor? (This video does a pretty good job of showing how each feature works.)
Here’s everything you need to know about the new model:
Pika 1.5 has only been available for a few days, but already, creators are using it to generate Hollywood-quality, five-second clips. Why it matters: Beyond the playful presets, tools like Pika are helping democratize high-quality video production by giving users more control over cinematic elements and motion. They’re already transforming content creation across industries, from marketing and education to entertainment, by putting professional-grade video capabilities in the hands of everyday users.
