Yishu Miao and Ziyu Wang, two former Google Deepmind affiliates, helm a London-based startup aiming to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with broad perceptual skills.
The company recently secured a whopping $13.8 million seed funding from Octopus Ventures to assist in this revolutionary pursuit.
Their unique vision of developing technology capable of understanding and interpreting intricate visual data has impressed noteworthy investors who see their enormous potential.
Moreover, the startup stands out by offering a platform for users to develop high-quality videos from text and animate extant images.
Their unique visual base model and highly advanced algorithms ensure a smooth translation from text to video, facilitating incredibly intuitive user experiences.
The startup is also committed to refining its already potent offerings. They persistently invest in research and development and are always at the firm-front of technological advances.
With the newly received funding, the company plans to reinforce its infrastructure and enhance product quality.
The primary goal is to build an AGI that can mimic human cognitive and emotional processes with a high degree of accuracy.
To achieve this visionary goal, they intend to recruit talented programmers and AI researchers.
Their platform allows users to fashion AI-generated videos based on their ideas. It provides SD and HD video creation and adds life to flat images based on text prompts.
There are several thoughtful limitations regarding content length, to optimize for quality and consistency.
Despite this, the platform can be leveraged for various purposes and can be tuned to different user needs, from amateurs to professional studio content creators.
Miao, speaking about the company’s future plans, expressed their aspiration to develop an AGI with complete perceptual abilities.
Their long-term strategy includes employing their AGI in a wide range of sectors, from robotics to transportation.
