Google unveils Veo, a high-definition AI video generator that may rival Sora

Google has announced Veo, a new AI video synthesis model at Google I/O 2024. Similar to OpenAI's Sora, Veo can create high-definition videos from text, image, or video prompts. It has the ability to edit videos from written instructions, maintain visual consistency across frames, and generate video sequences lasting over 60 seconds. Although not released for broad use, Veo has impressive capabilities such as generating detailed scenes, applying various visual styles, and supporting filmmaking commands. Google plans to integrate Veo's features into YouTube Shorts and other products in the future.

OpenAI’s Sora Is Coming for Your Video Games

OpenAI's advanced video generator model, Sora, has demonstrated the ability to recreate Minecraft and simulate video game worlds with high fidelity, according to a technical paper published by OpenAI. Sora's approach is more like a "data-driven physics engine" than an image generator, making it ideal for generating video games. Early tests show promise, although Sora does have some limitations in accurately modeling physics. Speculation suggests Sora may have been trained using digital worlds or video game engines like Unreal Engine 5. The impact of Sora on the gaming industry remains to be seen.

Generative AI video: Excitement tempered with scepticism

Google recently introduced Veo, a generative AI video model, to compete with OpenAI's Sora. Both models generate video clips with just a few words of text, but early reactions suggest they may only be useful for pre-production visualization or filler content. Other generative AI video models, such as Lumiere by Google Research and models by Synthesia and Runway, show potential but also raise concerns about copyright infringement. Content creators and industry professionals in India are cautiously exploring the possibilities of generative AI while acknowledging that it won't replace human creativity.

Sora’s AI video revolution is still a ways off - The Verge

OpenAI has unveiled Sora, the first version of its AI video generator. While it can generate video of various subjects, the results are less than satisfactory due to oddities and inconsistencies. Account creation was closed within hours due to high demand, and users need a subscription to unlock the features. The generated videos are often plagued with visual issues and lack coherence and natural human motion. Although some aspects are impressive, such as fast video generation and consistent patterns and lighting effects, Sora is still not ready for entertainment or commercial use. Guardrails are in place to prevent copyright infringement, but success levels vary. The feature to upload reference images is limited to Pro-tier subscribers. Overall, Sora falls short of revolutionizing video production and has limitations that hinder its accessibility and quality.
