Magnific

An image after all is just a single frame of a video.

The images from Sora go up to 2K by 2K pixels and of course they could be scaled up further with a tool like Magnific.

I tried that for this image and honestly there was nothing I could see that would tell me that this isn't just a photo.

I'd almost ask the question of whether this means that there won't be a Dali 4 because Sora supersedes it.

Now you might say, oh, I'd never be fooled, but let's test you on that with text-to-image.

Which of these then is the real Roman arch? One of them is from Midjourney version 6, upscaled with Magnific, and the other is a real arch.

The answer is that the one on the left is the real Roman an arch.

Now in my Christmas video, while misspelling some prompts, I did show off the style raw input.

versions of Mid Journey are even more stark.

Look at the progress just since 2022, and that's before I even upscale the v6 output.

we really are getting tantalizingly close to photo realism.

But now let me show you the upscaled version of that image using Magnific.

Of course, I'd love to hear what you think.

There is still a slight smoothness to them, but when you upscale them using Magnific, then the woman, if not the text in the background, looks exceptionally realistic.

As always, let me know what you think.

Thank you so much for watching to the end and have a wonderful day.

Virgin Voyages has launched Mermaid Origins, a four part short film series exploring the fictional backstories of the four mermaids featured on the ships.

The new brand campaign was created with native foreign and Emmy recognized creative studio and Magnific, an artificial intelligence powered creative platform.

Each film explores the mythology of one of the mermaids associated with the cruise line's ladyship, Scarlet, valiant, resilient, and brilliant.

I'm gonna have to...

And what it's doing is I have testing protocols for what it needs to do and what it needs to look for in different agents that are looking for errors and how they're looking for the errors and then like finding edge cases and all these different things.

So it's running to, you know, for fast creation and iteration, it's running to Magnific MCP for the webs, for the, you know, flows that it's building, it's going to weave.

And then like whatever results it's pulling, it's building in its own Figma page so that I can share that and say like, here's what's going on.

Right.

also it's just like that, like going back to even a few weeks ago, like maybe it's just because I hadn't done a lot of creative projects in a while.

There was a gap.

But when I was doing the website stuff and then the game stuff, you know, Magnific, MCP, you've got Runway, MCP, where I've got unlimited credits.

And it's just like, use this for this, use that for that.

... that also riffs on what we just talked about.

Because going back to SaaS, but also the aggregator platform, the AI aggregator platforms that don't necessarily have the original models but are kind of the big tool set, so like Magnific, Higgsfields.

OpenArt, Runway.

Well, they have their own model.

... that's better, and now it's like, okay, that's a Fal original, so they have something that's original and defensible.

Sure.

Magnific came out with their own image model.

Saw that.

Two, TikTok is letting AI agents run your campaigns, qualify your leads, and someday check out your customers.

And three, Magnific launched an image model that's supposed to know your brand before it makes a single picture.

[upbeat music] October seventh, OpenAI started rolling out GPT-6 to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise.

Free and Go users got it the next day.

Fixing the colors, the fonts, that shiny AI look.

Then you'll like this one.

October eighth, Magnifi, the company formerly known as Freepik, launched Magnific One.

It's an image model that makes art direction calls before it renders, composition, lighting, camera, style.

So it looks a little bit, not a hundred percent real, but boy, it's close.

And finally, we have this Magnific.

So this is a paid tool where you can pay to scale up old images or blurry images.

You can either increase the how high a resolution they are, or you can add certain details, and it's, it's pretty good.

You know, you have sites, for example, like Artlist.

Artlist is a site which started off, uh, a bit like, uh, Magnific, which was, like...

it was stock music, stock footage.

And so DOAC used Artlist for the music for, well, one strand of the music.
