BREAKING AI NEWS

 

Firefly gets a massive facelift! 📈 

Adobe has introduced a new video generation feature for Firefly, which is now integrated into Premiere Pro. This model allows users to generate videos from text and image prompts, extend existing clips, and smooth out transitions  

The Firefly Video Model is designed to be commercially safe and is currently available in beta.

Some key features include:

  • Generative Extend: This tool helps extend clips to cover gaps in footage or audio, making edits smoother

  • Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video: Users can create new video content directly from text or images

  • Enhanced Editing Tools: Improved performance, new color management systems, and advanced metadata workflows

OpenAI vs. OpenAI? 🤔 

OpenAI is currently involved in a legal dispute with another AI company led by Guy Ravine, which also goes by the name “Open AI.” 🤔 

The conflict centers around trademark infringement and the rights to the name “Open AI.”

Ravine claims that OpenAI’s founders took his concept and name for an open-source AI initiative, while OpenAI argues that Ravine is trying to profit from their established brand.

Additionally, OpenAI and its partner Microsoft are facing multiple lawsuits from various news organizations and authors. These lawsuits allege that OpenAI used copyrighted content without permission to train its AI models.

With employees leaving and lawsuits from left, right and centre - do you think that the public trust in OpenAI is declining? 🤔

AI recreates CS:GO map! 🎮️ 

Researchers have successfully simulated the iconic Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) map Dust II using a neural network running on a single Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU 🤯 

This project, led by Eloi Alonso, showcases the neural network’s ability to mimic the game’s environment and mechanics, with some glitches.

The AI model, named DIAMOND (Diffusion for World Modelling), was trained on 87 hours of CS:GO gameplay data. Despite running at only 10 frames per second, the simulation includes complex elements like player interactions, weapon mechanics, and environmental physics.

However, it struggles with certain aspects, such as gravity and collision detection, leading to some unusual gameplay behaviors.

With this, the AI open-world video game creation is about to seriously level up 📈 

HIGH QUALITY AI SONGS

Create ANY song with ANY voice using AI 🤖 🎵 

The easiest & the most customizable way to create AI songs!

If you’ve ever tried generating AI music with tools like Suno or Udio, you’ve probably noticed the lack of customization options—they pretty much give you whatever they create, and you’re stuck with it 😬 

Which often leads to an underwhelming sound, that is not quite you.

That’s where Mureka steps in with tons of customizable options. It puts you in control of your music, not the AI, which makes music generation easier and produces higher-quality tracks like these:

Here’s how to create these 👇️ 

  1. Head over to Mureka’s website and log in to create a new account (you can create & download 6 songs for free everyday!)

  2. Simply click on the “Create” tab on the right side of the screen.

  3. Unlike Suno & Udio, you can literally create any song by just describing how you feel, or what you want, instead of inputting abstract text prompt or explicitly describing the lyrics 👀 

  4. Now, to customize your song even more, click the “Advanced” tab.

    Here’s you’ll have many features to customize your current song.


  5. Now, click the “Vocal” button, and choose a fixed voice for your song that will remain consistent throughout 📈 

    I chose Gemma for my song!


    Mureka’s library also features a variety of celebrity-inspired voices that you can use as for your songs.

  6. To customise your song even more, you can even choose a music style, and even hum a melody (and Mureka will replicate that!)

    You can even base your melody off of famous songs!


  7. Once you’ve finalised your voice, style inspiration and melody, you can use AI to generate the lyrics (or write them on your own!)

    Now simply hit the “Create” button!



    Here are some songs that I generated using Mureka 👇️ 



    And that’s not it, Mureka even has an AI Music Marketplace, where you can buy, sell, and trade AI-generated music with legal copyright proof.

    The reason Mureka stands out compared to Suno or Udio is the wide range of features it offers, like Consistent Vocal Selection, Style Referencing, Melody Motif, and more.

    And that’s not all—coming soon, Mureka will introduce voice cloning, allowing you to create AI music using your own voice! 🗣️
