Four months is a long time in 2020's AI development. OpenAI debuted Sora in February this year but hasn't publicly released it. Now a Chinese company called Kuaishou has got ahead of them with a model it calls Kling. Kuaishou is TikTok's biggest competitor in China and has a video-sharing app used by 200 million people. Presumably, that is where all its training data came from. Unlike OpenAI, Kling is available to some of the public.

This tech still doesn't look ready to level the TV and movie industry. It does 5-second clips, but who wants a 90-minute movie made up of nothing but 5-second clips?

Have you not watched a modern Hollywood block buster?

Chinese have a clear lead in open-source language models too.

Maybe it’s just me as I haven’t had much exposure to the open ai video generation, but from what I’ve seen king looks much worse. Maybe open ai just cherry picked clips that make it look better?
