Looking at text to video examples ( https://starflow-v.github.io/#text-to-video ) I'm not impressed. Those gave me the feeling of the early Will Smith noodles videos. Did I miss anything?

These are ~2 years behind state of the art from the looks of it. Still cool that they're releasing anything that's open for researchers to play with, but it's nothing groundbreaking.

Apple has a video understanding model too. I can't wait to find out what accessibility stuff they'll do with the models. As a blind person, AI has changed my life.

Can you share some ways AI has changed your life?

I guess that auto-generated audio descriptions for (almost?) any video you want is a very, very nice feature for a blind person.

guessing that being able to hear a description of what the camera is seeing (basically a special case of a video) in any circumstances is indeed life changing if you're blind...? take a picture through the window and ask what's the commotion? door closed outside that's normally open - take a picture, tell me if there's a sign on it? etc.

What other accessibility features do you wish existed in video AI models? Real-time vs post-processing?

But 7b is rather small no? Are other open weight video models also this small? Can this run on a single consumer card?

+1 and I would be curious to read and learn more about it.

My two cents, this seems like a case where it’s better to wait for the person’s response instead of guessing.
