🎬 Meta Joins the AI Video Party

What's brewing: Meta just crashed the AI video generation party with Movie Gen, and they're not here to play around. The new suite of AI models is giving OpenAI's Sora a run for its money.

The specs:

  • 4 distinct models including a beefy 30B video generator

  • Creates HD videos up to 16 seconds long (with sound!)

  • Comes with natural language editing capabilities

  • Instagram integration coming next year (hello, content creators 👋)

Why it matters: Meta claims Movie Gen is already outperforming competitors like Runway Gen3 and Luma Labs. Plus, bringing professional-grade video creation to the masses? That's going to shake things up in the creator economy.

🎥 Meanwhile, in Long-Form Video Land...

ByteDance and HKU researchers just dropped "Loong" - an AI model that can create minute-long videos from text. Think of it as the marathon runner of video AI, while others are still doing sprints. Marketing folks, you might want to keep an eye on this one.
