As AI-generated content continues to gain traction, startups building the technology for it are raising the bar on their products. Just a couple of weeks ago, RunwayML opened access to its new, more realistic model for video generation. Now, London-based Haiper , the AI video startup founded by former Google Deepmind researchers Yishu Miao and Ziyu Wang, is launching a new visual foundation model: Haiper 1.5.
Available on the company’s web and mobile platform, Haiper 1.5 is an incremental update and allows users to generate 8-second-long clips from text, image and video prompts — twice as long as Haiper’s initial model.
The company also announced a new upscaler capability that enables users to enhance the quality of their content as well as plans to venture into image generation.
The move comes just four months after Haiper emerged from stealth . The company is still at a nascent stage and not as heavily funded as other AI startups but claims to have onboarded over 1.5 million users on its platform — which signals its strong positioning. It is now looking to grow this user base with an expanded suite of AI products and take on Runway and others in the category.
“The race in video generative AI is not just necessarily in the power of the models but also in what these models are scaled to recreate. Our distributed data processing and scaled model training will allow us to continue to train and iterate our powerful foundation model with this aim in mind. As this update highlights, we’re making continued advancements as we build a model that doesn’t just produce more and more beautiful videos and longer and longer ones, but also can replicate imagery we can all truly recognize as the world around us,” Miao, who is also the CEO of the company, told VentureBeat.
