The videos in this demo are pretty neat. If this had been announced just four months ago we'd all be very impressed by the capabilities.

The problem is that these video clips are very unimpressive compared to the Sora demonstration which came out three months ago. If this demo was announced by some scrappy startup it would be worth taking note. Coming from Google, the inventor of the Transformer and owner of the largest collection of videos in the world, these sample videos are underwhelming.

Having said that, Sora isn't publicly available yet, and maybe Veo will have more to offer than what we see in those short clips when it gets a full release.

To quote Twitter/X, "I wonder what OpenAI will release tomorrow and Google will release a waitlist for."

GPT-4o: out

Veo: waitlist

Admittedly this is impressive and the direct comp would be Sora, which isn't out, but sometimes the caricature is very close to the truth.

Then again Veo is in the same category as Sora, which isn't released either, 3 months after the reveal.

As someone who doesn't live in the US this year's Google IO feels like I'm outside looking in at all the cool kids who get to play with the latest toys.

VPN'd right into that playground, turns out the toys were pretty blah

I’ve noticed that a lot of the commentary of these models creates the sort of fervor like politics or sports.

In any case - no details on compute needed. Curious if this ever can be cheap. Even Midjourney still requires a lot.

I’m also surprised there hasn’t been some attempt at creating benchmarks for this. One example could be color accuracy.

Was anyone else confused by that Donald Glover segment. It felt like we were going to get a short film, and we got 3-5 clips?

It felt AI-generated.

To be fair, all the voice stuff OpenAI demoed isn't released yet either.

This is Google for the last 5+ IOs. They just release waitlists and demos that are leapfrogged by the time they're available to all. (and shut down a few years later)
