Pika 1.0 is designed with the goal of making video creation more convenient and easy to use. This new AI model is capable of generating and editing videos with image styles similar to Midjourney, DALL-E3 or Stable Diffusion, providing users with more creative possibilities.
Meanwhile, Pika Labs announced that it has successfully closed a $55 million funding round. The round was led by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, with Lightspeed Venture Partners leading the Series A round. Other investors include Adam D'Angelo (Founder and CEO of Quora), Andrej Karpathy, Clem Delangue (Co-Founder and CEO of Hugging Face, Partner at Factorial Capital) and Craig Kallman (Atlantic Records CEO).
In September of this year, Pika Labs released an update that allows for the integration of text and images, such as logos, into videos generated through Pika. This means that users can easily embed elements such as company logos into videos, expanding the creative possibilities.
