Another Friday, another edition of AI Pulse!

• Meta introduces their new Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2) — the first unified model for real-time, promptable object segmentation in images & videos.

• Runway releases their Gen-3 Alpha Image-to-Video. Transform any image into the first frame of your video with enhanced artistic control and consistency!
