Sora rival Pika just dropped a new video AI model, and I can’t believe how good it is
Pika just released the Pika 2.1 AI video creator with features like Scene Ingredients and lifelike motion control.
Features like dynamic lighting and style transfer streamline cinema production.
Compared to Sora, Pika 2.1 is aimed at any skill level.
AI video creator Pika Labs is keen to stand out from possible competitors like OpenAI and Sora, and its newest model adds some real power to that effort. Pika 2.1 adds a whole suite of new and upgraded features just a little over a month after Pika 2.0 dropped.
The new model offers users tools to make animation smoother, lighting more dramatic, and physics more realistic. It’s not quite Pixar, but it’s closer than you might first imagine, and it’s still usable for those who watch YouTube tutorials for editing family album videos.
