Intro:
With market-leading AI models in text and image generation (GPT and DALL-E respectively), OpenAI, teased Sora – Its text-to-video model, sharing early access to a closed community of security testers and a select group of video artists. The firm claims its largest model could generate up to a minute-long video from just a few lines of text or a still image. It can generate high resolution complex videos with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background. It can also fix missing frames on a video and even extend it. While we may not see Sora in action anytime soon, we can think of its potential implications on sectors like Academia, Business, and government to name a few. OpenAI says it has shared the research progress early to get feedback from outside the company as well as show the public what possibilities are on the horizon.

At the heart of it – I love solving problems for people using tech, it doesn’t get simpler than that.
Some know me as a Product Manager who relentlessly executes, some know me as a mentor who hand holds them to success, some know me as a techhead who won’t stop complaining about ‘that one thing’, and lastly; some know me as that guy who is always experimenting with something new.
As long as its in the realm of tech, I am interested – because my love for tech fuels my passion – sknexus.com – and my profession – saqibtahir.com
