State of the art-ful AI: The debut of SORA!

From Runway to SORA - The next generation of text to video!

As we wrap up our month exploring the delights of AI-based video generation, the arrival of SORA could herald a generational leap in text-to-video…

From OpenAI:

‘We’re teaching AI to understand and simulate the physical world in motion, with the goal of training models that help people solve problems that require real-world interaction.

Introducing Sora, our text-to-video model. Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt.’
