Omer Tal is a founder and research-driven engineer based in New York with six years of experience at the intersection of generative AI and computer vision. He has led research teams and shipped cutting-edge video generation work at institutions and companies including Weizmann, Google (Lumiere), Pika, and Runway before founding a stealth startup focused on the next generation of human–AI interaction. Comfortable moving between deep research and product delivery, he was the first research scientist at Pika and has steered model-level direction to practical media applications. His background combines an MS in Computer Science with hands-on software development at SAP and early-career R&D in Israeli military intelligence, giving him both academic depth and production-grade engineering rigor. Notably, he repeatedly transitions research prototypes into real products, signaling a talent for turning novel models into user-facing experiences.
