Spanish AI startup Magnific AI has released its image generation model called Super Real. According to the company, it ranks among the top models for creating realistic images, specifically targeting professionals in architecture, interior design, film, and photography. Freepik acquired Magnific in May, when the startup's initial product was an AI upscaler. Since then, the company has released additional features like "Relight," which can adjust lighting settings including image backgrounds. With Super Real, the company now offers a competitive image model. However, it still lacks image editing capabilities similar to those found in the Midjourney Editor.

According to Reuters, the United States is preparing new export regulations for AI chips that would position companies like Google and Microsoft as global gatekeepers for access to this technology outside the US. The companies would need to meet strict requirements, including reporting key information to the US government and blocking Chinese access to AI chips. In exchange, they could offer AI capabilities in the cloud abroad without requiring a license. Other companies would compete for licenses to obtain a limited number of high-end chips from Nvidia and AMD in each country. The rules would exempt 19 allied countries and Taiwan from these caps, while countries under nuclear embargoes like Russia and China would remain blocked. The regulations might face resistance from some countries. Industry representatives worry that the Biden administration is rushing to implement these complex rules without input from the sector.
