🍟 Game-changing REAL-looking AI videos

Unless you've been living under a rock, you can't have missed the VERY REAL-looking AI-generated videos of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump that have been going viral on multiple social media platforms the past couple of weeks!

Some of them were created using Grok 2.0, as I shared in this post on X, and then animated into short AI videos.

3-Step guide to animate any image 🎬:

  1. Create an AI image using FLUX, Grok 2.0 or Remix AI

  2. Upscale your image using Magnific AI

  3. Turn your image into a video Luma Labs Dream Machine or Pixverse AI

AI image generated with Grok 2.0.

If this wasn’t enough, McDonald's just rolled out their first-ever AI-generated ad, and it's quite the talk of the town!

They teamed up with the tech gurus at LumaLabsAI and tapped Kaku Drop, a digital influencer who's all the rage, to bring something totally fresh to the table.

The outcome? A lively, slightly offbeat spot that captures McDonald's vibe in a whole new way - watch it here!

And Kaku Drop? The popular digital influencer with a massive online following and a knack for striking digital art, seems to be the perfect choice for this AI-driven ad.

This campaign is more than just a cool trick—it’s a window into how AI might revolutionize advertising.

This the video I'm talking about ⬇️

🍓 Meet OpenAI's New 'Strawberry' Model

OpenAI is set to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence with its upcoming model, codenamed "Strawberry."

Initially known as Q*, Strawberry represents a significant leap in AI capabilities, particularly in complex mathematics and advanced reasoning. Here is what to expect from this new model:

  • Problem solving skills with a new “chain-of-thought” prompting method

  • Math skills capable of replacing basic accounting needs

  • Reasoning for the AI coming up with an exact answer

  • Ability to handle complex science & chemistry questions

We might see Strawberry in action as early as this fall, possibly playing a key role in the rollout of ChatGPT-5. It’s expected to be a cornerstone for future AI advancements, including the development of OpenAI's next flagship model, Orion.
