Imagen 3 is expected to rival other AI models such as DALL-E 3, Grok-2 and Midjourney. Google has introduced a SynthID digital watermark in the new model to authenticate and trace the image origins. So images generated by the new Imagen model will come with its own SythnID digital watermark.

Imagen 3: New Features That Come With The New Version

Grok-2 has faced a few problems with its uncensored approach to image generation, but Google intends to avoid the same problem. Imagen will now feature a thorough and large-scale filtering system as well as data labelling. This is done so to prevent or reduce the amount of damaging content in the model’s database. This ultimately decreases the chances of generating output deemed harmful.

Furthermore, the tech giant has also improved the model’s comprehension of text prompts. It has also enhanced text rendering, a problem most AI generators face. Image quality has also been improved upon in Imagen 3. Tiny details such as a hand’s wrinkles can also be rendered.

There have been a few criticisms about the model’s restrictiveness. Some users have reported that Imagen did not allow them to generate simple inputs and denied nearly half of them, despite the inputs being generally harmless.

Imagen 3 is currently available in two versions, ImageFX and VertexAI.

Altrove creates AI models with laboratory automation to speed up the process of creating new materials. The company has notably developed a patented characterisation tech allowing iterative learning from each trial.

There is a high demand and low supply of REEs (rare earth elements) in Europe and demand is expected to jump even higher in 2030. Furthermore, China possesses more than 90% of RREs making Western countries dependent on them. In addition, China has even banned the RRE processing technology exportation marking their monopoly on the global market. 

Thus, Altrove aims to solve this problem by developing inorganic materials which are sustainable and domestic. Therefore, this alternative helps Europe and its ever-growing demand for REEs. 

Altrove and Its Recent Breakthrough in Funding 

The startup was co-founded by Dr Joonatan Laulainen and Thibaud Martin in 2024 and the company is based in Paris, France with around 10 employees and 4 associated members. 

The AI startup has also recently raised €3.7 million in a pre-seed funding round. The funding round was led by various investors such as Contrarian Ventures, Thomas Clozel, Emblem, Julien Chaumond and Nikolaj Deichmann.

The success in the funding round is expected to improve the rate of development of Altrove’s technology. The company will now focus on alternatives for rare-earth compounds found in high-performance electronics, transition techs and electric vehicles.
