Hey Everyone,

There is another former Google AI startup startup that has recently caught my attention.

The DeepMind alums called their startup Haiper. Along the lines of OpenAI’s Sora, the company has developed an all-in-one visual foundation model for publishers, studios and individuals, enabling all to easily generate high-quality video content. 

Haiper, a London, UK-based video-generative AI platform building a foundation model for visual content, is coming out of stealth mode with $13.8M in seed funding.

Haiper has been working on building an AI foundation model that can take a text prompt written by a user and transform it into a short, animated video. Users can also upload a static image alongside a written prompt and have it generate a creative animation.

Yet another team from Google DeepMind are using “AGI” in their mission statement.
