🎯 SPOTLIGHT
OpenAI - Sora Release

OpenAI launches Sora Turbo, its upgraded video generation model on the third day of its "12 Days of OpenAI" event. Sora generates videos up to 20 seconds long in various aspect ratios: widescreen, vertical, and square. Here are some of its core features:

  • You can remix, blend, or create new content from text prompts.

  • The Turbo model significantly reduces generation times compared to earlier versions.

  • You can input images or videos using the storyboard tool for detailed scene construction.

Performance and Usage Limits
Currently not available in Europe or UK.

  • ChatGPT Plus ($20/month): 50 videos at 480p or fewer at 720p per month.

  • ChatGPT Pro ($200/month): 500 priority videos at 1080p, up to 20 seconds long, with watermark-free downloads. Pro users can generate up to five videos simultaneously.

Key Synopsis

AWS BedSageMaker provides a seamless way to use foundation models like the Mistral Pixtral 12B without managing infrastructure. With serverless deployment, API integration, and fine-tuning options, it enables developers to build scalable, multimodal AI-powered applications quickly. Bedrock is ideal for those looking to integrate advanced AI while minimising complexity and cost.

Outcomes

The article highlights how Pixtral 12B is now available on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, enabling developers to easily deploy this vision-language model for multimodal AI tasks. It outlines how users can integrate the model using APIs, create custom solutions, and process high-resolution image-text data effectively, streamlining advanced application development.

Official implementation of the paper "Visual Autoregressive Modeling: Scalable Image Generation via Next-Scale Prediction," presented at NeurIPS 2024. This project introduces a novel approach to image generation, redefining autoregressive learning on images as coarse-to-fine "next-scale prediction," diverging from the traditional raster-scan "next-token prediction." Notably, it demonstrates that GPT-style autoregressive models can surpass diffusion models in visual generation tasks. Check out demo_sample.ipynb for a quick start.
