Video generation models as world simulators

Posted by in category: transportation

We explore large-scale training of generative models on video data. Specifically, we train text-conditional diffusion models jointly on videos and images of variable durations, resolutions and aspect ratios. We leverage a transformer architecture that operates on spacetime patches of video and image latent codes. Our largest model, Sora, is capable of generating a minute of high fidelity video. Our results suggest that scaling video generation models is a promising path towards building general purpose simulators of the physical world.

Apple is pushing generative AI efforts with new tools for developers

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Apple is working on a new feature for its Xcode development environment that could make coding a breeze for developers. The feature, reportedly similar to Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot, will use artificial intelligence to suggest and complete blocks of code in real time.

Generative AI for Xcode

According to Bloomberg, Apple is also looking into using AI to generate code for testing applications, which can be a time-consuming and tedious task for developers. The company is testing the new tools internally before launching them to the public, possibly later this year.
