Tesla simulation and video generation are the ‘best in the world’: Musk
Feb
Elon Musk has touted real-world simulation and video technology at Tesla, following the discharge of OpenAI’s Sora generative video mannequin.
OpenAI introduced the text-to-video generative mannequin Sora on Thursday on its website, exhibiting off a bunch of generative AI movies that the system had created. Following the information, Musk made a submit on X exhibiting off a few of Tesla’s generative video, as debuted by the corporate final yr. He has additionally adopted up with a couple of totally different posts and replies up to now few days, each about OpenAI typically and Tesla’s efforts in real-world video technology.
In one in every of them, Musk replied to somebody who mentioned Tesla ought to make a online game, to which the CEO mentioned he has wished to do this for a very long time. Nevertheless, he additionally notes that he thinks Tesla’s “real-world simulation and video technology is the very best on the planet,” including that the corporate gained’t be capable of produce a recreation till after it launches unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) to the general public.
I’ve wished to do this for a very long time ????
Our real-world simulation and video technology is the very best on the planet, however sadly making a recreation can solely come after we launch unsupervised FSD that’s far safer than even supervised FSD.

Musk additionally mentioned in a submit on Saturday that Tesla has had the potential to do real-world video technology with correct physics for a few yr, however that the generative video created by these techniques wasn’t very attention-grabbing since coaching knowledge got here from its automobiles. He says that it seemed like an everyday video from Tesla, although it was really created with a “dynamically generated (not remembered) world.”
“The place Tesla video technology exceeds OpenAI is that it predicts extraordinarily correct physics,” mentioned Musk in one other submit in response to former Microsoft strategist Robert Scoble. “That’s important for self-driving.”
Sora lets customers create movies of as much as a minute just by typing in a textual content immediate. Under, you too can see an enormous thread from X consumer Min Choi exhibiting off a number of the generative video mannequin’s capabilities.
Sora by OpenAI is insane.
However it would not simply generate AI movies from textual content, it could possibly additionally change the types and environments of enter movies????

Musk has additionally had a contentious historical past with OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, after serving on the company’s board with Altman early on. In current months, Musk has been extremely vital of OpenAI’s shift from a non-profit to a for-profit firm, and final yr, the Tesla and SpaceX chief launched his personal AI firm, dubbed xAI. The corporate launched its first product, a generative language model called Grok, in November.
