Founder of Familiar, Movies in Every Language. Better than Humans.

Company

An Zhu Liu is listed as a founder of Familiar. Familiar is the Neolab for world translation. Dubbing into 30 languages. Now with Familiar, the same actor's performance is preserved instead of a mismatched voice over a mismatched face. One model does the voice, the lips, and the scene together, with identity permanence and scene & world understanding. Built by the researchers who pioneered joint audio-visual human models.

    Paul Graham - "However good AI gets at being intelligent, it won't replace all the human founders." Here he is in Japanese and Spanish. He speaks neither (as far as we know; but he IS BUILT different after all). Dubbing is finally good. 🦋 Dubbed by Familiar (YC S26)
