Crispy Bites: Google has set a new standard in AI-generated content by releasing three innovative models: Veo 2 for video creation, an enhanced version of Imagen 3 for image generation, and Whisk, a playful tool that allows you to use image prompts to visualize your ideas.
Key Insights:
Veo 2: Google's Veo 2 and OpenAI's Sora are both AI tools that create videos from text descriptions. Recently, users have compared them and found that Veo 2 often produces more accurate and realistic videos, especially in terms of physics and overall quality. Currently, it’s available for US users only.

Whisk: An AI tool that generates images based on other images you provide, rather than text prompts. You can input images to define the subject, scene, and style, and Whisk will create new images accordingly. If you don't have images, Whisk can generate some for you. It uses Google's latest Imagen 3 model.
Imagen 3: Text-to-image model, capable of generating images with better detail, richer lighting and fewer distracting artifacts. Google has significantly improved Imagen 3’s ability to understand prompts, which helps the models generate a wide range of visual styles and capture small details from longer prompts.
