Deep dives

Sora: A Game-Changer in Video Generation

OpenAI's new text-to-video model called Sora is impressively ahead of other video generation platforms. The technology behind Sora serves as a foundation for models that can understand and simulate the real world, a critical milestone in achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). The timing of Sora's release, along with other recent advancements in AGI-related research and investment in compute power, suggests that AGI is closer than most people think. OpenAI and Microsoft's partnership, with Microsoft owning 49% of OpenAI, gives them a strong advantage that competitors are unlikely to match without significant acquisitions. The combination of Sora's capabilities, along with OpenAI's existing chat, voice, and music generation models, propels them ahead in the race towards AGI. The tech titans, such as Amazon, Meta, Google, Apple, and Nvidia, will need to make strategic acquisitions of promising startups to catch up in this rapidly evolving field.
