Massive AI Upscale Breakthrough!

Video Description

This week in AI video is moving at an insane pace! We’re diving deep into a surprising new AI video generator that is impressive, uncensored, and FREE. But there’s a catch... it’s the 0.9 update from XAI's Grok-- so you might not love it? Plus, we finally take a long-overdue look at Luma Labs Ray 3 and reveal a fascinating hidden trick: the ability to upload external video clips and convert them into HDR using their platform! Try out Ray3 by Luma AI for yourself: https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine?utm_source=social&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=theoreticallymedia We also tackle one of the biggest challenges in AI image enhancement: preserving character faces during creative upscaling. Topaz Bloom has released an update with a new "Preserve Faces" feature. We push the sliders to the max to see if it finally solves the waxy skin issue while retaining identity. Finally, stick around to the end for some exciting (but tight-lipped) news regarding the imminent release of Google's VEO 3.1. 💬 Let us know in the comments: What do you think of the Grok video results?
