Introducing Sora
OpenAI’s Text-To-Video Model Is Wild

Yesterday, OpenAI introduced Sora, their new model capable of transforming text instructions into realistic and imaginative videos.

Sora can produce videos up to a minute in length that adhere closely to the detailed prompts provided by users, showcasing scenarios as diverse as stylish individuals navigating neon-lit Tokyo streets, wooly mammoths traversing snowy landscapes, and even imaginative scenes like pirate ships battling in a cup of coffee.

The development of Sora is part of OpenAI's broader effort to create AI models that can understand and simulate the physical world in motion. 

Sora's ability to generate complex scenes with accurate depictions of characters, emotions, and movements highlights its potential as a tool for creative professionals, including visual artists, designers, and filmmakers.

OpenAI has begun collaborating with these professionals and red teamers—experts in identifying potential harms—to refine the model and assess its capabilities and safety features.

Despite its impressive abilities, Sora is not without its limitations.

The model sometimes struggles with accurately simulating the physics of complex scenes or understanding specific instances of cause and effect. These challenges highlight the model's current boundaries in fully grasping the intricacies of real-world interactions and dynamics.

Ultimately, Sora's foundation is built on diffusion models and transformer architecture, similar to those used in GPT models, allowing it to excel in scaling performance and versatility in data representation.

By leveraging techniques from previous research, including the recaptioning technique from DALL·E 3, Sora achieves a high level of adherence to text instructions, marking a significant step toward OpenAI's goal of creating models that can simulate the real world with high fidelity—a milestone on the path to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Business Communication
Slack’s New Features Have Arrived

Slack’s new rollout of features, dubbed Slack AI, aims to revolutionize how users interact with the app, promising to make searching, catching up on discussions, and summarizing content more intuitive and efficient.

Slack AI introduces AI-powered search, channel recaps, and thread summaries, designed to streamline the user experience by providing quick access to the vast repository of shared information within Slack.

The initiative comes as a response to user feedback on the limitations of Slack's current search functionality. With Slack AI, users can now employ natural language queries to sift through messages, documents, and other shared content, receiving concise answers accompanied by footnotes for source verification.

This upgrade is particularly useful for users looking to quickly catch up on missed information or delve into specific topics like company policies or project details.

Furthermore, Slack AI enhances content digestibility through its Channel Recaps and Thread Summaries features:

• Channel Recaps allow users to get summaries of messages within channels for selected dates or unread messages, ensuring no critical information is missed.

• Thread Summaries provide a comprehensive overview of message threads, highlighting key decisions and priorities, which is invaluable for staying aligned with ongoing discussions.

Looking ahead, Slack plans to expand its AI capabilities further, including features like digest summaries of channel highlights and the integration of Einstein Copilot for insights into customer data directly within Slack conversations.

Slack AI is available as a paid add-on for Enterprise plans in the US and UK, with additional language support and plan options anticipated in the future.
