LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

OASIS

🕹️ Oasis AI model generates open-world games

The Rundown: AI labs Decart and Etched just launched Oasis, an AI model that generates playable video game environments in real-time — alongside a playable Minecraft-style demo.

The main points:

• Oasis responds to keyboard and mouse inputs to generate game environments frame-by-frame, including physics, item interactions, and dynamic lighting.

• Running at 20 FPS on current hardware, Oasis operates 100x faster than traditional AI video generation models.

• The businesses are releasing the code, a 500M parameter model for local testing, and a playable demo of a bigger version.

• Future versions will run in 4K resolution on Etched’s upcoming Sohu chip, with the flexibility to scale to handle 10x users and large 100B+ parameter models.

Why it matters: While text-to-video has grabbed headlines, Oasis represents something deeper — real-time interactive worlds generated entirely by AI. This might revolutionize how we take into consideration game development and virtual environments, even potentially eliminating the necessity for traditional game engines altogether.

RUNWAY

🎥 Runway brings 3D control to video generation

The Rundown: Runway just unveiled Advanced Camera Control for its Gen-3 Alpha Turbo model, bringing latest precision to AI-generated video outputs with features that mirror traditional filmmaking techniques and capabilities.

The main points:

• Users can now precisely control camera movements, including panning, zooming, and tracking shots with adjustable intensity.

• The system maintains 3D consistency as users navigate through generated scenes, preserving depth and spatial relationships.

• The update hints at Runway’s progress in developing ‘world models’ — AI systems that may simulate realistic physical environments.

• The discharge also follows Runway’s recent partnership with Lionsgate, suggesting potential applications in major film production could possibly be on the best way.

Why it matters: While AI video quality has taken mind-blowing leaps, the tooling to reliably and accurately shape outputs hasn’t scaled with it—until now. This upgrade signals the beginning of AI video generation transitioning from luck-based ‘slot machine’ outputs right into a real tool that creators can confidently control.

AI TRAINING

🎨 Turn product photos into creative logo mockups

The Rundown: Ideogram Canvas helps you to remodel any product photo into knowledgeable logo mockup.

Step-by-step:

1. Access Ideogram and select the choice Canvas within the left sidebar.

2. Upload your product photo using the “Upload” button.

3. Use Magic Fill to pick out where you wish your logo to look.

4. Describe your logo vision and generate multiple design options.

Pro tip: Save multiple versions to check different logo placements and gather feedback out of your team. You may as well type easy prompts to generate consistent AI characters in any setting.

PRESENTED BY ASSEMBLY AI

ANTHROPIC

👁️ Claude gets latest PDF vision capabilities

The Rundown: Anthropic just released PDF support for its Claude 3.5 Sonnet model in public beta, unlocking the flexibility to research each text and visual documents like charts and pictures inside large documents.

The main points:

• The system processes PDFs in three stages — extracting text, converting pages to photographs, and performing a combined visual-textual evaluation.

• The model supports documents as much as 32MB and 100 pages, handling all the pieces from financial reports to legal documents.

• The feature may also be integrated with other Claude features like prompt caching and batch processing.

• The vision capabilities can be found each through Anthropic’s Claude platform and via direct API access in applications.

Why it matters: Claude’s ability to handle large documents was already a game-changer — but viewing and understanding imagery inside them takes it to an entire latest level. This upgrade transforms Claude right into a more comprehensive analyst for industries like healthcare or finance, where critical info is commonly visual.
