Google introduces its new AI-powered image creation tool called ImageFX, which is based on the Imagen 2 model launched at the end of 2023. Functionally, ImageFX is not much different from directly calling the Imagen 2 model from the Google Cloud, but it simply changes the method of calling it through an API to using the front-end interface provided by Google.
A notable feature of ImageFX is the inclusion of pre-set image styles as menu options, eliminating the need to manually input prompt commands. This feature, called expressive chips, allows users to quickly experiment and generate images with greater efficiency.
However, it is important to note that as of now, ImageFX is only available for users in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia, and its accessibility in other countries, including Thailand, remains limited.
Additionally, Google has also announced updates to its music creation tool, MusicFX, which operates with the MusicLM model. This update extends the duration of music to 70 seconds and allows for the creation of loopable compositions. Similar to ImageFX, MusicFX also includes expressive chips to enhance the user experience. Remarkably, Google reports that over 10 million songs have already been created using this new feature.
In conclusion, Google’s ImageFX and MusicFX tools bring innovative AI-driven capabilities to image and music creation, respectively. These advancements streamline the creative process and offer users an array of possibilities for artistic expression.
TLDR: Google introduces ImageFX, an AI-based image creation tool, and announces updates to MusicFX, a music creation tool. ImageFX allows users to generate images using the Imagen 2 model through Google’s front-end interface, while MusicFX offers enhanced music creation capabilities with expressive chips. However, both tools have limited availability, with ImageFX currently only accessible in the US, New Zealand, and Australia. Over 10 million songs have already been created using MusicFX.
