CogVideo VS DALLE2-pytorch

Additionally two open source demo models [CogVideo[(https://github.com/THUDM/CogVideo) by a groups of cs students a model by [Antonia Antonova](https://antonia.space/text-to-video-generation) and have presented their own innovative methods of generating video from text

The second thing that will happen is the appearance of AI video and audio. Google has shown two programs for video generation, one which is fairly high quality and the other which can make long videos with several scenes. Meta has also demonstrated their own. We've already seen other projects like CogVideo, as well as many others that are currently being worked on. It's likely that these techniques will become so refined that over the next year or two, they'll have a similar boom to image generation programs. And eventually, they'll have a similar application in video editing, once coherence is adequate enough. Select a person's shirt, and it stays that for the remainder of the scene. Change an actor's hairstyle in real time, or add characters that didn't exist into a scene and let the computer figure out the desired level of realism. This'll revolutionize VFX to a degree where making an effects heavy will be less about wrangling complex toolsets and more about making aesthetic choices of style and placement.

Characters and dialogue are effectively solved, just look at GPT-3.

The entity behind StableDiffusion is also supporting generative music art, so let's see what is coming out of that: https://www.harmonai.org/

We are currently far away from generating a production quality movie with AI, but I don't think it's going to be nearly as long as a lifetime. In my opinion, we'll have high quality AI shorts within the decade.

A better comparison to AI music generation would be video generation, which has not improved much since i saw first examples some years ago. The last iteration is stuff like CogVideo and this is only able to generate 4 second videos with mid-strong artifacts.

I was showing people Dalle2 last year and telling them how much of an impact an open source solution was going to have on, well, everything to do with art and design. (At the time Stable Diffusion had not released, not even the leak, and all hopes was on https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch)

Stable diffusion is the model, MJ will use a variant and DALL-E is the old version (we have our own implementation from our distinguished fellow Lucidrains here: https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch)

Sadly I don't think so. From what I understand the architecture is fixed to 1024x1024 pictures.

The code is open source, the model is not I believe. https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch

Phil Wang has been fairly prolific at creating open source implementations of these text to image models. For example, here is the dalle-2 repo https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch

There's already an open-source implementation of DALL-E 2 (https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch) and a pretrained model for it should be released within this year.

Also true for Google's Imagen, which should be even better than DALLE-2 (and faster) https://github.com/lucidrains/imagen-pytorch.

This is possible because the original research papers behind both DALLE-2 and Imagen were publicly released.

The paper describing the model is public and has been implemented here, but that's not the hard part. The model likely requires months of compute and dozens of gigabytes of VRAM to train and run, likely costing several hundred thousand dollars.
