New AI Video Tool Hailuo surprises everyone

Hailuo AI launched earlier this year and very quickly became one of the best AI Video models on the market, offering realistic motion and high-quality video rendering. It was only lacking an image-to-video model, but now that issue has been solved. Watch this example:

Why is this important?

The quality of the AI video tools is growing, and Hailuo has quickly become one of the leaders of the pack, bringing top quality for the users.

Kling now has Lip Sync

Kling, one of the best artificial intelligence video generators has added a new lip sync feature that is very accurate. It can even work on faces not directly looking into the camera. Only Runway has this feature, but in its previous generation.

Why is this important?

Lip syncing is one of the holy grails of the AI video space as getting it right and making it look realistic opens the door to artificial actors — for better or for worse. This would, for example, allow a lone AI filmmaker to create an entire production with dialogue. Kling is getting close to that.

Runway adds first and final frames

Runway now allows users to provide both first and last frame inputs for Gen-3 Alpha Turbo. This allows users to define both the starting and final image of the video to be generated, allowing for more control over the generated video. This is available for all users on web in both horizontal and vertical aspect ratios.

Which tools have this feature?

Kling
Runway
LumaLabs

One tool to rule them all

Krea has released a beta testing tool where you can find all the AI video tools: Hailou, LumaLabs, Runway and Kling.

AI researchers grabbed two Nobel Prizes

Geoffrey Hinton and John Hopfield were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for their work on neural networks in the 1980s. Also, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was shared by Demis Hassabis and John Jumper for their work on protein folding with AlphaFold2 in 2020, with biochemist David Baker. Going along with AI is the way to innovate and advance, even in pure science.
