New Chinese Text to Video AI Model Vidyo Challenges OpenAI's Sora: Chinese company Sheng Shu's new AI model Vidyo generates HD clips with one click using UVIT architecture, but doesn't yet match OpenAI's Sora's real-world simulation capabilities. OpenAI's Sora, not yet released, has the potential to simulate complex dynamic shots and understand cultural factors, with implications for AGI.
Chinese company Sheng Shu has introduced a new text to video AI model named Vidyo, which could potentially be a competitor to OpenAI's Sora. Vidyo, developed by Shangxu AI and Tsinghua University, uses the universal vision transformer (UVIT) architecture to generate 16-second HD clips with one click. The UVIT model integrates diffusion and transformer AI models, allowing it to simulate real physical world scenes with detailed physical laws like light, shadow effects, and facial expressions. Although Vidyo's capabilities are impressive, it is not yet on the same level as Sora. OpenAI's Sora, which was announced late last year, is more than just a text to video AI generator. It has the potential to simulate the real world, generating complex dynamic shots and understanding cultural factors. NVIDIA CEO has highlighted the implications of this technology on the future of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Neither Vidyo nor Sora are publicly available yet, but the introduction of Vidyo might put pressure on OpenAI to release Sora sooner. Additionally, a collaboration between Adobe and OpenAI was teased, which could bring Sora to Adobe's video editing suite. The race for advanced text to video AI models continues, with significant implications for the future of artificial intelligence and AGI.
Deepfake videos pose a significant threat to spreading misinformation: Deepfake technology's ease of use and public's lack of awareness could lead to societal consequences, while NVIDIA's acquisition of Run AI enhances its AI platform and gives customers access to rented compute power
The use of advanced AI technology, specifically in the form of deepfake video, has the potential to spread misinformation and disinformation on a massive scale, potentially leading to significant societal consequences. This was discussed in relation to a new Chinese AI video platform, Vidu, developed by the company Sheng Shu. The ease with which deepfake videos can be created and the general public's lack of awareness about this technology makes it a significant concern. In other news, NVIDIA made a big move by acquiring Run AI, an AI infrastructure management company, for $700 million. This acquisition will enhance NVIDIA's DGX Cloud AI platform and give customers access to Run AI's capabilities, allowing them to rent compute power instead of investing heavily in hardware. Run AI already has a large customer base of Fortune 500 Companies and has raised over $118 million in capital prior to the acquisition. This acquisition is a strategic move for NVIDIA to strengthen its position in the AI market.
