March 26 news.OpenAI TURN OFF AI VIDEO PRODUCTS THIS WEEK SoraElon Mask quickly seized the market gap left by this rivalDeclare Artificial Intelligence under the flag xA PLAN TO FULLY UPGRADE ITS AI VIDEO GENERATOR。
Mask yesterday (25 March) posted tweets on X platform referring to XAI video creation Grok Imagine, stressing that the next edition will be “historic” and making clear that the company is “double-inputting”。
Grok Imagine, an artificial intelligence product developed by the Mask-Ai company xAI, has the main function of rapidly generating authentic images and videos based on user-speech narratives, and is currently the core weapon for the ChatGPT multi-modular capability。
In order to demonstrate their technical power, MaskYesterday, a series of AI videos produced by the Grok chat robot were transmitted on X social media and more users were invited to participate。
In fact, Mask has listed Imagine video products as one of the four core operations of XAI at the staff meeting in February of this year, with the intention of providing a comprehensive overview of the industry’s mainstream products through the rapid generation of authentic images and videos。
In response to the dramatic changes in the industry, Bloomberg analyses that OpenAI’s closure of Sora has indeed created rare market opportunities for competitors like XAI, Runway and Google. This, however, also raises questions about the high cost and real return of AI video services。
Bloomberg noted that despite Mask's determination to kill the video track, the recent staff unrest in XAI could hinder this ambitious plan. The co-founder of XAI for Imagine operations, Guodong Zhang, left earlier this month, and another core employee involved in developing a video strategy, Haotian Liu, left the company immediately afterwards。
In addition to the brain drain, XAI ' s Grok chat robot, which had previously triggered a global protest over the generation and dissemination of non-consensual exposure images of violations, had a gap in product safety and content verification mechanisms that needed to be repaired。
