Sora

“We didn't explicitly bake three D information into it whatsoever. We just trained it on video data and it learned about three D because three D exists in those videos.”

“What works really well as you increase scale is just predict data. And that's what we do with text. We just predict text. And that's exactly what we're doing with visual data with Sora, which is we're not making some complicated trying to figure out some new t…”

“We started from scratch, and we started with the question of, how are we going to do a minute of HD footage? And that was our goal. And when you have that goal, we knew that we couldn't just extend an image generator. We knew that in order to do a minute of HD…”

“We're optimistic that Sora will, you know, supersede that kind of capability and will, you know, in the long run enable it to be More intelligent one day than humans as world models.”

“It's not instant and you have to wait at least like a few minutes for like these really long videos that we're generating.”

“And so looking forward, as we continue to scale up models like Sora, we think we're going to be able to build these, like, world simulators, where essentially, you know, anybody can interact with them. I, as a human, can have my own simulator running, and I ca…”

“Well, to be honest, we didn't spend a ton of effort on it for Sora.”

“I think where we are in the trajectory of Sora right now is like, this is the GPT-I of these, this new paradigm of visual models, and that we're really looking at the fundamental research into making these way better, making it a way better engine that can pow…”

“And so this is really the first generative model of visual content that has breadth in a way that language models have breadth.”

“We don't currently have immediate plans or even a timeline for creating a product.”

“Yeah, we absolutely believe models like Sora are really on the critical pathway to AGI.”

“And in fact, we actually see Sora as our partner because we can, we are able to integrate that as one of the component, you know, generator, and then feed that into our acquisition engine for the business application.”

“And the other approach is that what we believe in at Hadrian is that we try to assemble the whole video into different components. Lastly, it will be A-Roll and B-Roll. B-Roll represents all different kinds of elements, like voiceover, music, transition, A-Rol…”

“There's so much you learn from video, which you don't necessarily get from other modalities, which companies like OpenAI have invested a lot in the past, like language, you know, like the minutia of like how arms and joints move through space, you know, again,…”

“You could argue now that you have a handful of companies that are showing really amazing video generation capabilities, where it's not actually, like, a bunch of smaller players are step function behind there between runway and Pika. And even you know, if you …”
