APPETIZER

NVIDIA’s new text-to-video 📺️ 

Nvidia just unveiled a model based on Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion that can generate high-res videos of both art and real-world simulations.

Here’s what it can do for you:

1/ generate several minutes of full-length videos.

2/ generate videos with objects and scenes that were not part of the original training data set (thanks to Dreambooth technology).

3/ render your videos at 511 × 1024 pixels (major step up from previous renditions).

4/ be customized for different use cases (since its fundamentally just a lightweight skin on Stable Diffusion).

Take: from autonomous driving research to TikTok feeds with personalized videos, the next adaptions of this are going to radically change how we use and interact with video. We’re expecting to see exponentially more innovation here as more open-source implementations keep rolling out.
