Step 1: Article in Markdown Syntax

Introduction

The new AI model from Clink has caused a huge sensation worldwide. Initially available only in China, it has now become globally accessible. It was deployed in China for a month before its worldwide launch, and I've been eager to test it out. Now that it's available, and free to use for the moment, I've had the chance to experience its capabilities first-hand. While it has some flaws, it still managed to impress me significantly.

Getting Started with Clink

To begin using Clink AI, visit clinkai.com. Once on the site, the user interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Here’s a quick start guide:

Signing Up

Click on the "Sign in" button located at the top right-hand corner of the site.
Select "Sign up free" and create an account using any email address and password.
For those already signed up, simply click on "Sign in".
During the login process, a security measure will ask you to solve a puzzle quickly, and then you should be logged in.

Free Credits and Account Management

Clink AI provides 66 free credits every day.
Currently, there is no paid model available, but it will be introduced soon.
You can log in with another email address to get additional credits, though this is not recommended.

Exploring the Platform

On the main page, you can see productions made by other users. Each video showcases the prompt, camera movements, aspect ratios, and parameters used during generation. Videos can be liked, turning Clink into a social network where your own creations can also gain visibility.

Creating AI Images and Videos

Text to Image

Navigate to the 'Text to Image' section.
Use a detailed prompt: Use structured prompts to achieve realistic images.
- Example: "cinematic documentary photo, happy woman from Germany."
Set aspect ratios: Customize the dimensions (e.g., 16:9).
Generate images: Create multiple images at a time, while managing the cost in credits.

Reference Image to Generate New Images

Upload a reference image to guide the AI in creating a new image.
Adjust the 'reference strength' to influence how much the reference image should guide the final output.
For instance, creating an "Anubis" from a dog’s photo, which brings ancient Egyptian god aesthetics while preserving the original image traits when set correctly.

Text to Video

Creating Videos from Scratch

Use structured prompts with camera movements to generate videos.
- Example: "cinematic low-angle shot of a vending machine next to two escalators, dim lighting."
Adjust creative vs. relevance settings to influence the AI’s adherence to prompts.
High performance setting is currently the only option, with high-quality settings coming soon.

Image to Video

Upload a reference image and create a video based on it, with or without an additional prompt.
An example included an "Elvish warrior holding a dagger," which although had anatomical issues when the creativity was set too high, performed better with balanced settings.

Future Developments and Impressions

Features like upscalers and in-built video editors are on the way. While Clink impresses in image generation, it has areas for improvement in video creation compared to tools like Runway Gen-2 and Luma.

Conclusion

Clink AI has shown to be a promising tool in the AI video generation landscape, rivaling other models but with its own unique strengths and areas for potential growth.
