Meta AI just raised the drapes on 'Seamless', an AI suite designed to redefine cross-lingual communication. Think of it as your universal translator from Star Trek, but better.

This system packs three models into one: SeamlessExpressive, SeamlessStreaming, and SeamlessM4T v2. Seamlessly (pun intended) translating over 100 languages while maintaining speaker’s emotion and vocal style and near real-time delivery.

The downside? Possibility of misuse for voice phishing scams or deep fakes but safeguards like audio watermarking are in place.

Released on Hugging Face and Github, Meta is inviting the research community to expand this ground-breaking work.

Say Hi to DeepSeek Chat, China’s New Kid on the AI Block

Emerging on the heels of ChatGPT's first anniversary, DeepSeek AI's chatbot, DeepSeek Chat, is set to stir the pot in the AI sector.

The newcomer is armed with 7B and 67B-parameter LLMs and showcases impressive performance in several evaluations, sometimes surpassing Meta's Llama 2-70B.

With the AI sector swelling with Chinese-born innovation, the introduction of DeepSeek AI marks an exciting consistency in this trend.

AI Goes Shopping as Mastercard Introduces Shopping Muse for Personalised Retail Experience

"Shopping Muse", a brainchild of Mastercard and Dynamic Yield, is redefining digital retail with personalization taken to new heights.

By transcending language barriers and focusing on visual similarities among products, it offers accurate recommendations even when users find it hard to describe their needs.

As retail technology advances, this is just a precursor of things to come.

Designer’s Dilemma as AI COLE Zooms into Graphic Design Territory and Disrupts the Artistic Arena

Brace yourselves, graphic designers: an AI game-changer, named COLE, is set to begin a revolution.

With COLE, users can input design descriptions and watch as the tool produces visuals and corresponding text. COLE achieves this by strategically combining intensified versions of various AI models with an open-source graphic renderer.

Though still a framework rather than a product, COLE shows promise as a one-stop-shop for in-situ editing and real-time creations as it creates images with distinct editable blocks for texts and objects.

One Text Prompt Game Development? Bitmagic Makes it Real

Game development just got a whole lot easier, thanks to Bitmagic's new AI-based game development platform.

Ditch programming, all you need is to describe what type of game you want to create in a text prompt. Bitmagic then turns that dream into a vivid, 3D reality, creating fully playable games even the pros would envy.

CEO Jani Penttinen believes Bitmagic will democratize game development, just as YouTube and Netflix have done for video production.
