Not impressive compare to the opensource video models out there, I anticipated some physics/VR capabilities, but it's basically just a marketing promotion to "stay in the game"...
Is there a better place to go? I'm very much not plugged into this part of LLMs, partially because it's just so damn spooky...
EDIT: I now see the reply above referencing Hunyuan, which I didn't even know was its own model. Fair enough! I guess, like always, we'll just need to wait for release so people can run their own human-preference tests to definitively say which is better. Hunyuan does indeed seem good
Hunyuan at other providers like fal.ai is cheaper than SORA for the same resolution (720p 5 seconds gets you ~15 videos for $20 vs almost 50 videos at fal). It is slower than SORA (~3 minutes for a 720p video) but faster than replicate's hunyuan (by 6-7x for the same settings).
Like with music generation models, the main thing that might make "open source" models better is most likely that they have no concern about excluding copyrighted material from the training data, so they actually get a good starting point instead of using a dataset consisting of youtube videos and stock footage
