😲 They are putting AI into everything! 😲 This year's Google I/O event had a lot of announcements and guess what... they were all about AI. The tech giant aimes to infuse AI into all of their product and services which doesn't come as a surprise, knowing the race between Google and OpenAI. Here are some of the key announcements they made during the event: 🔥 Updates to the Gemini models + a whole new Gemini model (1.5 Flash) which is designed to be fast and efficient at scale. 🔥 Gemini 1.5 Pro will soon have a 2 million context window. 🔥 New image generation model - Imagen 3 🔥 The only competitor of Sora - Google's Veo. This is a powerful video generation model, very close to the quality of videos of Sora (rumored). Unlike Sora, Google will release Veo to the public and you can already sign up for the waitlist. 🔥 Music AI sandbox - a music generation tool. (Udio is way better) 🔥 Google search will be infused with Gemini to make their search engine even more powerful. 🔥 Gemini 1.5 Pro will also be added to the Google Workspace and Photos (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Slides and Sheets) 🔥 Maybe the most interesting announcement was their new Project Astra. It's better to see it, than read it, so here is a link of their quick demo. https://lnkd.in/d3SGp6kn Did Google catch up to OpenAI with those announcements, or are they still way off target? We will be exploring this in the coming posts!

Google released some new AI stuff 🤖 Here's what I think is worth knowing from the event: • Introduction and evolution of Gemini, a multimodal AI model. • Updates and integration of Gemini across Google’s major products. • Expanding AI Overviews in Search • New features in Google Photos powered by Gemini. • Unlocking More Knowledge with Multimodality and Long Context • Expanding to 2 Million Tokens in Private Preview • Integration of Gemini into Google Workspace. • Introduction of audio capabilities in Gemini. • Developing more autonomous and capable AI agents. • Innovations in AI modeling and infrastructure. • Enhancements in Gemini’s conversational capabilities. • Incorporation of Gemini in Android devices. • Efforts to ensure ethical and responsible AI development. • Emphasis on community and developer involvement in AI innovation. For a detailed exploration of each point, you can read the full post on Google's blog here: https://lnkd.in/eBb2JVXC It's a two horse race between OpenAI and Google at this point for who's AI will be in your pocket and on your desktop. We are living in the future. Good Luck.

Google I/O was packed with AI announcements. As expected, the event focused heavily on Google’s Gemini AI models, along with the ways they’re being integrated into apps like Workspace and Chrome. Here is a summary of the announcements. #google #AI

Veo 2 Sets the Bar for AI Video Generation 📹 Only a week after the release of OpenAI’s Sora Turbo, Google has launched its new AI video generation model, Veo 2, and it’s already making waves. 🌊 When tested against other models on over 1,000 prompts from MovieGenBench, Veo 2 achieved 58.8% general preference and 58.2% when compared specifically for prompt adherence. While these results don't clearly indicate a definitive performance advantage, they strongly indicate that OpenAI may be in store for some competition when it comes to video generation. 🎥 Key takeaways include: 🔑 - Veo 2 supports video generation at resolutions up to 4k, while Sora Turbo is only capable of output up to 1080p. - Veo 2 can follow complex prompt instructions, allowing users to specify specific camera controls, such as wide shots, POV, and more, as well as granting it advanced motion capabilities due to an understanding of physics. 🏃   - Veo 2 comes fuly equipped with advanced motion capabilities – seemingly a sore spot for Open AI’s Sora which is noted as not being able to “capture movement in a way that looks natural to the eye”. 👁️ People can sign up for Veo 2’s waitlist on VideoFX. 📋   When you add this on top of recent news regarding Amazon’s additional $4 billion into Anthropic, it looks like 2025 could be a challenging year for Open AI. 🤖   VideoFX Waitlist: https://lnkd.in/gfYX-egF Veo 2 Announcement: https://lnkd.in/ggFnYeCV Disclaimer ‼️ The video used in this post is not mine.

Meta takes on Google, OpenAI with new text to video generation model. Here's how Movie Gen works https://ift.tt/kohuI32 Meta introduced Movie Gen, a new AI tool capable of generating realistic videos and audio from text prompts. While it excels in performance compared to rivals, it is not yet ready for public release due to high costs and long generation times. via mint - ai https://ift.tt/CRj2duc October 05, 2024 at 08:01AM https://ift.tt/Fx2gHfM
