CEO leaves Stability AI and Microsoft gobbles up Infelction AI
It's been a week of big change for the AI industry.?Emad Mostaque the CEO of Stability AI and a huge proponent of open source?A.I. has moved on to pursue decentralised AI.? Microsoft also swooped in and acquired the CEO and majority of the staff from Inflection AI who created the chatbot Pi. In a similar move which they tried with Open.AI, smelling blood in the water they devoured the team and all its employees. Why is this important?? Its slightly worrying to see the pool of foundational AI companies shrinking so quickly. Whoever creates or controls AGI will be king of the world unless that model is available to all,?and with few horses in the race the risk increases that one company could dictate the future for all.
Stability AI released Stable Video 3D but so did 13 other people
Stable Video 3D is a powerful AI tool that can create realistic 3D videos of an object from a single image.? The thing is 13 other companies also released a similar feature. The world of?3D is going to change drastically over the upcoming months with so many people working on it. Creating a 3D scene will probably be as easy as editing a photo (see research paper from Adobe below).? Or imagine taking a 2d photo and rotating objects within that scene - the future is going to be wild.

Style transfer with Magnific
This is a very powerful tool. You can take the style of an image and apply it to another, which sounds very similar to Midjourney's style reference apart from the fact that this respects the structure of your image.? It matches it very closely, so you could for example create one style frame using simple black and white?outlines and then apply different styles to it. In minutes you can have 3 completely different style frame or designs based on your sketches. Follow the link for more examples and tutorials
