Pika also known as Pika labs is one of the startups to emerge with its own AI video generation model, allowing users to simply type in text and get video clips.

Pika launched 1.5 an updated version of the Model that offers eye-popping physics defying effects that can transform imagery subjects into bizarrely malleable versions of themselves.

These animated special effects are available from a new button labeled Pikaeffects, and include the following pre-sets: Explode it, melt it, crush it, inflate it and “cake-ify it” — the latter of which essentially turns your image subject into the meme videos of highly realistic prop cakes.

Unreal Pika effects - Go beyond what you could capture with a camera. Explode, melt, crush, or inflate anything your heart desires.

Big Screen Shots - Use the kinds of cinematic shots that will make you look like you know what you’re doing, like Bullet Time, Vertigo, Dolly Left, Crane Down, and more.

New Moves - Make the stars of your scenes even more lifelike— from running, to skateboarding, to flying, and beyond.

Users can now create high-quality, five-second clips, incorporating lifelike movements such as running, skateboarding, and even flying
