‘ByteDance’s new AI video model excels in generating life-like human movements’, 'Perplexity AI’s Deep Research a cheaper, less capable alternative to OpenAI'

Imagine Albert Einstein coming back to life and delivering a new lecture.

That's what a new Chinese AI model, OmniHuman, did.

It generated a demo video of Einstein making philosophical remarks during a lecture, based only on a black-and-white portrait of the physicist who died in 1955.

OmniHuman says it's able to create life-like videos using just a still photo and an audio clip.

Other competitors, like OpenAI's Sora, can do similar things, but experts say they're impressed by Omnihuman's ability to create convincing, human-like movement.

Listen to AI consultant Raj Shroff's take on this new model in this episode of Tech Tuesday.

You'll also hear Raj's thoughts on Perplexity AI's Deep Research tool, which can help people find and understand information quickly.
