Meta has recently expanded its Expressive Media Universe (EMU) technology to include two new tools that focus on image editing and video generation. These tools are designed to enhance the capabilities of EMU, Meta’s founding content generation model.

The first tool, EMU edit, is a generative AI technology that allows for precise image editing from text instructions. It uses computer vision tasks as instructions for image generation models, improving precision and control in the editing process. The tool can modify pixels in the input image without affecting the entire image, making it an ideal solution for creating customized stickers and graphics for messaging applications.

The second tool, EMU video, facilitates the generation of videos from a text description through a unified architecture that responds to different types of inputs. It uses diffusion models to generate videos, providing a streamlined process for video generation tasks. This tool can be used to create animated GIFs or short videos from text descriptions, making it an excellent solution for social media content creation and marketing purposes.

With these new tools, Meta is taking a significant step forward in image editing and video generation. These advanced features offer precise and controlled editing as well as efficient video generation from text descriptions, making them valuable assets for content creators and marketers alike.
