This pod was an incredible gift to the community: not only our first pod about @xAI, but Ethan really indulged on all our questions on how to train a SOTA Videogen world model, including specific areas (consistent extending/editing, voice) that Grok @Imagine is still SOTA, on top of the factual overviews he ALSO came loaded with opinions/predictions: - why he's quitting Videogen for LLMs: video models get most of their intelligence from LLMs, not from scaling video data - why the next frontier for videogen also happens to be video agent models - agentic models trained to orchestrate video models - why deterministic compression (like MP4) is a useless target vs VAE compression - Videomaxxing: if you truly believe in the "Moore's law" of AI/genmedia, then video models become the final boss UI of everything, like Flipbook (below) Media 🆕Grok Imagine’s Video Agent Moment: Cosmos, xAI, World Models, Generative UI, & the Codex Phase for Video! https://www.latent.space/p/video-agents @EthanHe_42, former @xai world model lead and @nvidia Cosmos researcher, explains why AI video may follow the same path as coding ag…
