Spend 1 minute every day to get the latest AI information.
The content includes but is not limited to cutting-edge AI news, AI tools, AI painting, open-source projects, and learning tutorials.
The main feature of the brief is its concise description, but important information is still introduced in detail through independent posts.
Here is the latest AI information for July 2.
Cutting-edge Technology
1. Runway has opened Gen3 for use!
Currently, it only supports text-to-video generation, available for paid users. The effects are comparable to Luma and Kelan, each with its own pros and cons.
Runway is mainly too expensive, costing $1 per 5-second video. Kelan is still more attractive.

However, today a user achieved character consistency with Gen3, maintaining the same character across multiple generations.
2. Microsoft quietly updated Phi3-mini.
The model's capabilities have been improved in various aspects, such as instruction-following ability and coding ability.

Cutting-edge Technology
1. Tencent open-sourced a video generation project with specified actions: MinmicMotion.
Similar to Alibaba's AnimateAnyone, it generates action videos of characters based on specified actions and character images.
The effects seem much better than Alibaba's, with consistent facial features and lip-syncing. It can be used not only for dance videos but also for digital humans.

- Mixing famous actors in the prompts to maintain facial consistency;
- ControlNet Reference model for clothing consistency;
- ControlNet OpenPose model to control character poses;
- Using Photoshop to handle dialogue bubbles.
