  6. New AI model for hi-res video generation, Pyramid Flow, is available as open-source software

    New AI model for hi-res video generation, Pyramid Flow, is available as open-source software
    Video generation requires modeling a vast spatiotemporal space, which demands significant computational resources and data usage. To reduce the complexity, the prevailing approaches employ a cascaded architecture to avoid direct training with full resolution. Despite reducing computational demands, the separate optimization of each sub-stage hinders knowledge sharing and sacrifices flexibility. This work introduces a unified pyramidal flow matching algorithm. It...
