| 0:00.0 | When I first sampled this model I was actually shocked that it works so well. |
| 0:05.0 | The pure improvements in performance and text understanding of these models. |
| 0:09.0 | Is it possible to derive something like a physical law from such a model. I think a really important |
| 0:15.0 | part of this is the fact that these models have been accessible to everyone. |
| 0:19.9 | It learns a representation of the world. |
| 0:23.0 | Today many it learns a representation of the world. |
| 0:29.0 | Today, many people are familiar with text to text and text to image AI models. Think ChatGPT or Mid- Journey. |
| 0:31.0 | But what about text to video? Well, several companies are working to make that a reality, |
| 0:36.9 | but for many reasons, it's a lot harder. For one, their size. Just think, you'll often find text files in the kilobytes, images, maybe a few |
| 0:46.0 | megabytes, but it's not uncommon for high quality video to be in the gigabytes. |
| 0:50.3 | Plus, video requires a much more dynamic representation of the world that incorporates the physics of movement, 3D objects, and more. |
| 0:58.0 | Imagine the hand challenge in text image, but in this case, it's hand squirt. |
| 1:02.0 | But this is not stopping the researchers behind stable video diffusion, |
| 1:07.0 | which as of November 21st was released |
| 1:09.0 | as a state of the art open source generative video model. |
| 1:13.7 | And today you'll get to hear directly from two of the technical researchers behind that model, |
| 1:18.8 | Andreas Blatman and Robin Rombach. |
| 1:21.8 | Robin, by the way, is also the co-inventor of Stable Stable Image models. |
| 1:28.9 | So in today's episode, together with A16Z General Partner,JNEMETA, you'll get to |
| 1:33.7 | first hand what makes text a video so much harder. |
| 1:37.0 | The challenges like selecting the right data sets that enable realistic representations |
| 1:41.2 | of the world, applications where this technology is actually already |
