Welcome! It’s Friday, July 12th.

This week in AI has been incredibly exciting, let’s learn few tips & tricks 👀

Hold on to your hats and LET’S DIVE IN!

Do You Know?

The costs of training AI models are skyrocketing, according to Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic.

Current AI models like ChatGPT-4o can cost around $100 million to train, but Amodei predicts these costs will reach $10-100 billion within just 3 years. 😮

(That’s shocking!)

On that note, Here is today’s menu:

1. AI Spotlight: Master Midjourney 🤯

2. Tool Talk: Runway Gen-3 Alpha 🪄

3. GPT of the Week: Become An Excel Pro 📝

Learn Every Aspect of Midjourney | New Features Explained 🤯

If you’ve created 100+ images using Midjourney, you can now generate images directly on their website (say goodbye to Discord!).

This update offers tons of benefits…

We also explore different art styles & keywords, creating vector art & logos, tailoring outputs via the personalisation feature, AND additional AI tools for remixing.

Additional Prompt Ideas

• Input a poem or a line in a poem as your prompt

• Upload a photo of a specific texture or pattern in addition to your prompt… be sure to specify in your prompt where you want the texture or pattern applied

• Use a musical piece or genre (e.g., "the visual interpretation of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata)

• Utilize an idiom or cultural expression (e.g., "a visual representation of the Japanese proverb ‘Even monkeys fall from trees’)

• Tap into a philosophical concept (e.g., “the visual interpretation of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave”)

Keep on generating more Dynamic & Profound AI Images.

P.S. Login to check if you have access to the new Midjourney site. If you don’t, check your eligibility by typing “/info” into your Midjourney Discord channel to see how many images you’ve generated.

Tool Talk: BGBye 🪄

Use Case: Image & Video Background Removal

Link: Use BGBye (Free, Not Sponsored!)​

Why you should care?
This is the most useful background removal AI tool we've ever tested.

Removing background from images and video can be extremely time-consuming, especially when dealing with flowing hair.

Some popular platforms like Canva now have built-in background removal, but it's limited to one method and doesn't allow you to remove video backgrounds.

BGBye lets you remove backgrounds from both images and videos and gives you 10 different AI model options to choose from so that you can get the absolute best result possible.

Here's how to use it:

1. Go to BGBye's site using the link above.

2. Upload an image or video.

3. If uploading a video, select a model you want to use to remove the background. For images, BGBye will run your image through all 10 models automatically.

4. Review the results and select the best output for your use.
