Google DeepMind Unveils A New Video Model To Rival Sora
TechCrunch, Monday, December 16th, 2024
Google DeepMind, Google's flagship AI research lab, wants to beat OpenAI at the video-generation game - and it might just, at least for a little while.
On Monday, DeepMind announced Veo 2, a next-gen video-generating AI and the successor to Veo, which powers a growing number of products across Google's portfolio. Veo 2 can create two-minute-plus clips in resolutions up to 4k (4096 x 2160 pixels).
Notably, that's 4x the resolution - and over 6x the duration - OpenAI's Sora can achieve.
It's a theoretical advantage for now, granted. In Google's experimental video creation tool, VideoFX, where Veo 2 is now exclusively available, videos are capped at 720p and eight seconds in length. (Sora can produce up to 1080p, 20-second-long clips.)
