Read full article about: Midjourney adds custom start and end images for seamless AI video generation

Midjourney is adding new AI video features that let users generate clips with custom start and end images. This allows for seamless loops or smooth transitions that morph one image into another.

Video generation is now available directly inside Discord, though the web interface still offers a better experience. The company recently launched version 7 of its image generation model and introduced a new draft mode. Midjourney has also been in the spotlight after Disney and others filed copyright lawsuits against it.

Read full article about: ChatGPT and reasoning model expert becomes Chief Scientist at Meta’s Superintelligence Labs

Meta has hired Shengjia Zhao, a key developer of ChatGPT, as Chief Scientist of its new Meta Superintelligence Labs.

Zhao worked at OpenAI since 2022, helping build ChatGPT’s first training pipeline, core GPT-4 training methods, and the "o-model" series—AI models focused on logical reasoning. Meta has not yet released a reasoning model.

Zhao will report to CEO Mark Zuckerberg and work with Alexandr Wang, former Scale AI CEO and now Meta’s Chief AI Officer. The hire is part of a large-scale recruitment effort led by Zuckerberg to advance long-term AI research. Zuckerberg called the hire part of building an "elite, talent-dense team that has the resources and long-term focus to push the frontiers of superintelligence research."
