I Tried OpenAI’s Sora, And It’s Cool I Guess
Summary ChatGPT Plus subscribers get 5-second Sora taste tests, not full 20-second clips. Sora’s videos remain hit-or-miss due to coherence issues and visualizing prompts. Sora’s video technology feels less mature than image generation, lagging behind Veo 2. After months of teasing, OpenAI’s Sora video generation technology is available to the public. I spent some time playing with this much-anticipated tech,…

You Can Now Try Out Sora, OpenAI’s AI Video Generator
Earlier this year, OpenAI—makers of ChatGPT—announced Sora, an AI video generator. Some of the demos the company showed off were hyper-realistic, from puppies playing in snow to the view from a subway car traveling through a cityscape. In short, it was both impressive, and terrifying, as I explained in my initial thoughts here. Since then, Sora news has been largely…

OpenAI pretty much concedes this in the report: “In this work, we will sidestep the open-endedness of language models by considering only short, fact-seeking questions with a single answer. This reduction of scope is important because it makes measuring factuality much more tractable, albeit at the cost of leaving open research questions such as whether improved behavior on short-form factuality…

Further, Fan said that OpenAI must have figured out the inference scaling law a long time ago, which academia is just recently discovering. However, he did point out that productionizing o1 is much harder than nailing the academic benchmarks and raised several questions. “For reasoning problems in the wild, how (the model) to decide when to stop searching? What’s the…
