AI Video Generation

Also written as Text-to-Video, Video Generation Model, Sora, Veo, Video Diffusion

AI models that create video clips, often with sound, from a text description or an image. OpenAI's Sora and Google's Veo are well known. Used for advertising, social content, film pre-visualisation and training data for robots. Built on the same diffusion techniques as AI image generators.
