🤯 4 seconds to generate an AI video

What's New in AI?

Lightricks, AI-powered video generator

Shockingly faster…

Lightricks, the creative force behind apps like Facetune and Videoleap, has stepped into the AI video game with a bang. Meet LTX Video 0.9, their first custom AI video model that’s fully open-source. The big claim? It can generate a five-second video in just four seconds. Let’s break it down:

What’s the buzz? 

LTX Video specializes in creating clips that balance speed with stunning motion consistency and realism. The model runs on powerful Nvidia H100 GPUs, producing videos at a crisp 768x512 resolution. While a standard Nvidia RTX 4090 can also handle it, expect slightly longer render times.

Built for creators, by creators

This model was shaped by feedback from users of LTX Studio—a platform where you can spin up multi-clip projects with a single prompt. Its core design focuses on fluid transitions and sharp visuals, setting it apart from competitors.

Open-source for all

Lightricks made LTX Video open-source, giving developers worldwide the freedom to experiment, enhance, and innovate. CTO Yaron Inger sees potential in gaming, education, and even shopping, thanks to the model’s ability to render videos faster than playback speed.

How does it perform?

Early testers are impressed by the video quality, especially given the model’s speed and flexibility. LTX Video supports image-to-video and text-to-video creation, making it adaptable for a range of projects.

Here’s what I think:

This is a win for creators and tech enthusiasts alike. By going open-source, Lightricks is not just setting a standard but inviting the community to shape the future of AI video. Whether you're editing films, designing games, or just tinkering, this could be a game-changer.

Anthropic’s Claude has the most human-like voice

ChatGPT VS Anthropic: But just voice comparison

Thanks to Hume AI and Anthropic’s Claude AI, we’re getting closer to AI that’s not just smart but emotionally aware too.

Here’s what’s happening:

• Emotional Intelligence, Meet AI: Hume AI, a New York-based startup, has created the Empathic Voice Interface (EVI). It’s like a regular chatbot, but with a twist—it listens to your tone of voice and mirrors the right emotions when it talks back.

• Powered by Claude: Anthropic’s Claude AI is already great at things like reasoning and multitasking. Now, Hume’s EVI takes it up a notch by making its responses feel more personal and natural.

• What Makes EVI Cool: It isn’t just about having a voice—it’s about having the right voice. EVI 2 can adapt its tone, accent, and even personality to fit the conversation, making interactions feel less robotic and more human.

• Big Wins for Developers: With over 2 million minutes of voice conversations already under its belt, EVI is scalable and efficient. Plus, Claude’s tech helps reduce costs and speeds things up—a win-win for app creators.

This collaboration is all about creating AI that doesn’t just understand words but also picks up on emotions. It’s smarter, friendlier, and, frankly, more helpful.

Here’s what I think:

This is a step toward AI that feels more like a companion than a tool. If Hume and Claude keep this up, chatbots might just become the most understanding “people” in the room.
