Pika Labs is making its flagship Pika 2.0 AI video model available for free for the next few days to give people the chance to put one of the best AI video generators to the test.

The "4-day Free-For-All" is a great chance to try out a model I personally think is better than OpenAI's recently unveiled Sora. Its powerhouse feature is the ability to give it an image or multiple images and use them to steer the video creation.

What can you do with Pika 2?

Pika 2.0 is free until December 22 for all users, and those with a Pro subscription will have their credits frozen in place, as well as priority generations.

The AI video lab is also removing all watermarks for Pro subscribers so they can share the clips they generate without branding it as Pika.

I spend a lot of time generating videos in different AI products and so far Pika Labs Ingredients is my favorite feature. It solves one of the biggest problems in AI content — character consistency.

The model does a brilliant job of including multiple image elements within the video as well as creating camera movements during the 5 second clip.

As its currently free, it is worth spending a few minutes crafting a handful of prompts and putting it to the test. The fact they are making it available for free also shows the confidence they have in how good it is to use.
