Google's Phenaki Model Can Generate Long Videos Based on Text Prompts

We are pretty used to text-to-image models that pop up more and more frequently, but text-to-video tools are still somewhat novel. Google has presented an AI-generated super-resolution video made using Phenaki – "a model capable of realistic video synthesis given a sequence of textual prompts." What makes it stand out is its ability to create extensive videos – as long as several minutes.

Phenaki was made to address the issues of computational cost, limited quantities of high-quality text-video data, and variable lengths of videos that text-to-video models face. This causal model for learning video representation compresses the video to a small discrete tokens representation. 

Hopefully, we'll see more from the tech soon as Google promised to bring its text-to-image tools to AI Test Kitchen soon.
