OpenAI appears to be setting the pace for generative AI development. After the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, we saw the launch of a wave of alternative chatbots such as Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude Chat.

The company led by Sam Altman presented a video generator called Sora in February of this year. And of course, the industry's movement has been easy to predict: technology companies are working to compete in video generation.

A video generator 'Made in China', the model could not only generate videos, but also simulate our world.

But, as is happening with chatbots, we have reason to believe that it is a matter of time before tools with similar capabilities appear. Adobe is already working on its own video generator, but not everything is born in the United States. Chinese companies are also working in this direction.

Shengshu Technology and Tsinghua University have introduced a video generator called Vidu. We are looking at a tool based on artificial intelligence that converts simple textual indications into video fragments of up to 16 seconds in length (compared to Sora's 60 seconds) with a maximum resolution of 1080p.

The creators of Vidu point out that their model has a series of very notable characteristics. They claim that, like Sora, it can simulate the physical world. They also say that he can create consistent scenes and is able to understand Chinese elements.
