Today, promising generative AI video to start up Track M.L. revealed It is most recent foundation model, Generation 3 Alpha, which allow users has generate high quality, ultra realistic scenes ten seconds long, And with a lot different camera movements, using only text instructions, always imaging, Or pre-recorded video.

We had THE chance has talk with Track co-founder And chief technology officer (CTO) Anastasis Germanidis about Generation 3 Alpha And It is place In THE generally, in rapid motion, more and more competitive video AI software space, And how Track views It is place In THE market.

We Also learned THE unfold plan For Generation 3 Alpha (paid users First of all In THE future days, free users After) And how Track plans has meet THE competition head lit.

VentureBeat: I know You to have A busy day, obviously, And congratulations on THE launch of Generation 3 Alpha… tells Me A little little about how Generation 3 East different that Generation-1 And 2? What are THE the biggest differentiators?

Anastasis Germanidis: From We released Generation 2, more that A year There is NOW, We learned A little different things: THE number A thing was, When We First of all released Generation 2, You could only fast he In A very simple manner with text, And We quickly added A plot of controls around camera movement, around object movement, And that proven has be Really important For how people are using Generation 2 today.

SO In Generation 3 Alpha, We basically invested A plot more time And resources In that, And spent A plot of time on THE subtitles of data that gets put In while TO DO training.

NOW You can fast he with Really complex interactions, And You can fast he with how THE camera moves, In different fashions, In THE interaction of characters. SO It is A big to focus, number one.

Number two East just THE ladder of calculate. It is has been proven on THE language domain how a lot scaling calculate can lead has A a lot bigger range of abilities For models. And were seeing THE even with video.

With increase calculate We saw that THE model was able has learn things as geometric consistency of objects And characters — not metamorphosis as THE video progress on time, which has has been A issue with previous video generation models. We learned THE fast adhesion improved enough A little as You scale.

THE third thing that We Really paid attention has East This idea that Generation 3 East THE base model, And were Really building A modular frame Or You can easily socket In things as image to video, things as camera control In A path that levers THE base model In all It is abilities, but Also kind of adds those additional layers of control.

And This will allow We has basically bring A plot more tools faster on high of Generation 3 that We were Before. And It is What You are while going has see In THE future month: A plot of tools It is on high of Gen-3, And different kinds of tools For different to use case And different kinds of generations.

In THE last couple weeks, We had [rival AI video model] Kling come out Since China, And SO We had Dream Machine Since Lumia AI. You We...
