- Chinese AI startups AiShi Technology and Shengshu Technology announced new funding rounds to develop video generation models aiming to match OpenAI's Sora, amidst a cautious approach from major Chinese tech companies due to technological gaps and resource constraints.
- Sora, a significant leap in AI video generation by OpenAI, generates videos from text prompts, showcasing advanced understanding and realism. Despite its potential, the high computational cost and unclear commercial applications make widespread adoption challenging.
- While Chinese firms express ambitions to catch up with or surpass Sora, challenges include the high demand for computational power and the lack of foundational models like LLaMA in language AI. The landscape suggests a cautious investment environment compared to the initial enthusiasm for ChatGPT.
