Veo and Imagen Updates
Alongside the whisk ‘experiment’, Google also announced iterative updates to its Veo and Imagen tools.
With the quality of AI video generation improving at speed – as demonstrated by OpenAI’s recently released Sora – Veo 2 seeks to improve detail and realism from its predecessor. Google gives examples of how users can specify the use of cinematic effects like low-angle tracking shots, depth of fields and close ups to achieve better results.
“While video models often “hallucinate” unwanted details — extra fingers or unexpected objects, for example — Veo 2 produces these less frequently, making outputs more realistic.” – Google Labs
While with Imagen 3, the promise is of brighter, better composed images. Google says the tools will now follow prompts more faithfully and “render more diverse art styles with greater accuracy — from photorealism to impressionism, from abstract to anime”.
