A two-person research lab training generative video models from scratch.
What Hacker News says?
Hi HN, author here! For context, we're a 2-person lab training generative video models. Goal is a new set of controllable, animation tools (you can read more about that here https://www.linum.ai/about if you're curious). The biggest bottleneck for our last text-to-video model in terms of training and inference cost is attention. Video models are incredibly token dense (e.g. 110K tokens for a several second clip). If…

HN discussionAah, for this we're just trying to filter not generate. When it comes to conditioning, you'll still need a model that understands text since the primary control is text. In the original Stable Diffusion, CLIP doubled as part of this LAION Aesthetic Filter as well as the text control for the generative model. But in the last couple of years, the field has drifted away from CLIP towards LLM hidden states (e.g. Qwen, M…

HN discussionI think YC just release video on the basics of diffusion, but honestly I don’t have a good end to end guide. We’re going to write up going 0->1 on a video model (all the steps) over the coming months. But it likely won’t be a class or anything like that. https://www.linum.ai/field-notes We want to share our learnings with folks who are curious about the space - but don’t have time to make it a full class experience.…
