Hello!
During Connect, we previewed Muse Realtime Avatar, our real-time embodiment technology that turns Muse Realtime Voice into expressive, interactive avatars.
Today, we’re rolling it out in the @Muse app in the US, giving people a more natural way to engage with their personal agents.
Learn more about Muse Realtime Avatar on our research blog: go.meta.me/47ZSNso
Talking about talking AI with @TYehoshua this Thursday (11/5). Hope you can join! Register here: luma.com/lr4612a3
Next week, I get to sit down with Ryan Germick to find out what's involved in designing a personality for an AI assistant.
Ryan is VP of Product Design at @Meta Superintelligence Labs, where he works on the personality of Muse.
Assistants have changed a lot since Ryan and I were colleagues at @Google. They don't just answer questions, they take action. How is he approaching the design challenge of giving Muse warmth or humor, and also making sure the personality doesn't get annoying?
If you're in SF, join us Thursday, November 5 at Atlassian's office. Register here luma.com/lr4612a3

something most folks who use muse won't ever know or appreciate was the degree to which this was @natfriedman's baby.
it has been one of the great honors of my career watching nat cook. he assembled and ran the team, and so many of the little details that people love came from his beautiful mind.
nat is one of the great artists of our time with products as his medium. more people should experience his brilliance, and with muse, they can ❤️

@GoogleDeepMind and @labsdotgoogle are shipping Veo 2 in VideoFX today, the first wave of trusted testers are getting access now!
Here’s what I like about Veo 2:
+ Strong prompt to video consistency
+ Good real-world physics
+ Jump cuts are especially nice
+ 8 sec of output is a good length for stitching together discrete scenes
+ About 3 minutes per generation (and we see more ways to optimize this, so it will only get faster)
Today, we’re announcing Veo 2: our state-of-the-art video generation model which produces realistic, high-quality clips from text or image prompts. 🎥
We’re also releasing an improved version of our text-to-image model, Imagen 3 - available to use in ImageFX through @LabsDotGoogle. → goo.gle/veo-2-imagen-3
ALT Prompt: An extreme close-up of a craftsperson's hands shaping a glowing piece of pottery on a wheel. Threads of golden, luminous energy connect the potter’s hands to the clay, swirling dynamically with their movements.
ALT Prompt: A portrait of an Asian woman with neon green lights in the background, shallow depth of field.
