Image and video generation AI platform "illuminAI" receives major update

Beyond Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka), a provider of managed cloud server services and system development services, has implemented a major update to its image and video generation AI platform "illuminAI," including a complete UI redesign and a significant expansion of the latest generation AI models

■Background of the renewal

The rapid evolution of generative AI technology is rapidly expanding the scope of AI utilization in creative production. However, users' production needs are diverse, including "quality-first," "speed-first," "background transparency," and "high-resolution output," and there has been a challenge in that the desired expressions cannot be fully realized with only a limited number of models

To address these challenges, illuminAI has completely redesigned its system from the ground up. Focusing on optimizing the production workflow to enable users to engage in creative work more intuitively, we are continuously working on improvements such as enhancing usability and strengthening management functions, in addition to adding the latest AI models to improve expressive capabilities

■ Update Overview

- Added a background color (light/dark) switching function to the overall design
. - Improved the usage history screen related to the dashboard and account.
- Added an activity log function to display generation models, number of generated images, and generation results
. - Added image background transparency and background color specification functions
. - Added a "Discover" function to view other users' generated works.
- Significantly expanded the image and video generation models.
