This technical report focuses on (1) our method for turning visual data of every type right into a unified representation that allows large-scale training of generative models, and (2) qualitative evaluation of Sora’s capabilities and limitations. Model and implementation details aren’t included on this report.
Much prior work has studied generative modeling of video data using quite a lot of methods, including recurrent networks,[^1][^2][^3] generative adversarial networks,[^4][^5][^6][^7] autoregressive transformers,[^8][^9] and diffusion models.[^10][^11][^12] These works often deal with a narrow category of visual data, on shorter videos, or on videos of a set size. Sora is a generalist model of visual data—it may possibly generate videos and pictures spanning diverse durations, aspect ratios and resolutions, as much as a full minute of high definition video.
The balance and fairness in The writing make The posts a must-read for me. Great job!
This post is packed with useful insights. Thanks for sharing The knowledge!
