Move over, Hollywood! China just dropped a game-changing AI tool that turns text into crisp 16-second HD videos with a single click. 🚀 Meet Vidu, the country’s first text-to-video large AI model unveiled at Beijing’s 2024 Zhongguancun Forum. Developed by Tsinghua University and tech firm ShengShu, this powerhouse promises \"extended duration, exceptional consistency, and dynamic capabilities\"—think hyper-realistic pandas and dragons, all generated in 1080p glory! 🐉
\"Vidu isn’t just tech—it’s culturally savvy,\" says Zhu Jun of Tsinghua’s AI Institute. From traditional Chinese motifs to modern storytelling, it’s designed to get local vibes.
AI School Launches to Fuel Innovation
Tsinghua doubled down on its tech push by launching a School of Artificial Intelligence the same day. Led by Turing Award winner Andrew Chi-Chih Yao, the school aims to cultivate \"AI + X\" talent (think AI meets healthcare, climate, or art 🎨). Its mission? Boost China’s high-tech self-reliance while fostering global collabs. \"We’re building a world-class hub for AI brains,\" the university stated.
With breakthroughs in core tech and cross-industry apps on the horizon, Tsinghua’s move signals China’s sprint in the global AI race. 🌐✨
