On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI's Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.

Why not?

I want to have fun generating my own shows and movies eventually. Just for my own fun. You can literally just not use it.

Until they sunset it. No use getting invested in new Google products anyway.

Tell me again when it's open source.

OpenAI is as open as an elderly Catholic nun's legs while she's reading incel posts on 4chan.

That means not open, right? I'm only interested once the first good opens Circe video generator is released, more closed source ones aren't interesting, once I heard about the first.

After reading the wheresyouredat article I don't have much faith in this one either for any serious work. It's a curiosity at best.

Are they gonna demo it like they do with Gemini?

Veo is a pretty prolific graffiti artist in Hartford CT

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Veo's example videos include a cowboy riding a horse, a fast-tracking shot down a suburban street, kebabs roasting on a grill, a time-lapse of a sunflower opening, and more.

Conspicuously absent are any detailed depictions of humans, which have historically been tricky for AI image and video models to generate without obvious deformations.

Google says that Veo builds upon the company's previous video-generation models, including Generative Query Network (GQN), DVD-GAN, Imagen-Video, Phenaki, WALT, VideoPoet, and Lumiere.

While the demos seem impressive at first glance (especially compared to Will Smith eating spaghetti), Google acknowledges AI video-generation is difficult.

But the company is confident enough in the model that it is working with actor Donald Glover and his studio, Gilga, to create an AI-generated demonstration film that will debut soon.

Initially, Veo will be accessible to select creators through VideoFX, a new experimental tool available on Google's AI Test Kitchen website, labs.google.
