Beijing Aishi Technology Co., Ltd. has announced the global release of its latest version of the video generation large model, PixVerse V3. This version has made significant improvements in its underlying model capabilities, offering multimodal generation abilities and a wealth of AI features, including creative templates, lip synchronization, story continuation, and style transformation.

The Beijing ZhiYuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Renmin University of China, Peking University, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, has launched an ultra-long video understanding model named Video-XL. This model is an important demonstration of the core capabilities of multimodal large models and a key step towards General Artificial Intelligence (AGI). Compared to existing multimodal large models, Video-XL shows superior performance and efficiency in processing long videos exceeding 10 minutes.

Recently, the Meta AI team introduced LongVU, a novel spatio-temporal adaptive compression mechanism aimed at enhancing the language understanding capabilities of long videos. Traditional multimodal large language models (MLLMs) face limitations in context length when processing long videos, and LongVU was created to address this challenge. LongVU operates primarily by filtering duplicate frames and employing inter-frame token compression techniques to efficiently utilize context length, allowing it to reduce video data while preserving visual details.
