From Static to Dynamic
Stability AI steps into the spotlight with its creation — the Stable Video Diffusion. This cutting-edge AI research tool is a master of transformation, turning stagnant images into dynamic short videos. A preview of two AI models, “SVD” and “SVD-XT,” takes center stage, producing video synthesis at 14 and 25 frames, respectively.
The Two: SVD and SVD-XT
Stability AI’s journey began with Stable Diffusion, an open-weights image synthesis model that garnered attention and sparked a community of enthusiasts. Now, Stability aims to replicate this success in the AI video synthesis. The duet of models, “SVD” and “SVD-XT,” dance through the pixels, generating short MP4 video clips at 576×1024 resolution, a mesmerizing spectacle lasting 2-4 seconds.
The Early Stages
Stability AI, the maestro behind this AI symphony, humbly declares that the model is still in its early stages, a creation meant for the halls of research rather than the bustling avenues of the commercial world. As they actively fine-tune their creations, seeking insights on safety and quality, Stability beckons the community to partake in this symphonic journey, with every note of feedback playing a pivotal role in refining the model for future releases.
