Suno AI has introduced a new feature called "Personas" that allows users to capture and reuse the vocal style, mood and musical characteristics of the songs they create. The feature works by storing the core elements of a particular song, which users can then apply to create new compositions with a consistent sound. To set up a persona, users select a song and use the "Create" and "Make Persona" options. Users can choose to make their personas public or private. Public personas get their own page on Suno and are available for other users to use in their creations. As with regular song creation, users can specify lyrics and stylistic elements when using personas. The Personas feature is currently in beta testing and is only available to Pro and Premier subscribers. Users can create up to 200 songs using personas at no additional cost, after which new persona-based songs will cost 10 credits each.
Runway has added new camera control features to its Gen-3 Alpha Turbo AI video model. The update allows users to control exactly how the camera moves through AI-generated scenes, including the direction and speed of movement. The new controls support basic camera movements such as panning from side to side, moving forward and backward through scenes, and zooming in and out. Users can also combine these different movements to create more complex camera sequences. According to Runway, the enhanced controls give video creators more precise control over their AI-generated content. The feature is now available for anyone using the Gen-3 Alpha Turbo model.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made religious references about artificial intelligence at a recent developer event in London, according to Hugging Face engineer Aymeric Roucher. "I don't pray for God to be on my side, I pray to be on God's side," Altman said. "Working on these models definitely feels like being on the side of the angels." This isn't the first time Altman has used spiritual language to describe AI development. In a Financial Times interview last year, he said OpenAI aims to create "magic intelligence in the sky."
