Chinese AI start-up firm MiniMax has debuted ‘video-01,’ its new text-to-video-generating model, one that rivals Silicon Valley-based OpenAI’s Sora.

Sora caused a stir earlier this year when the company showcased its capabilities to create very detailed and realistic videos just from a simple text prompt.

South China Morning Post (SCMP) noted in a post:


MiniMax – known as one of China’s AI “tigers” along with Zhipu AIBaichuan and Moonshot AI – made video-01 available to the public via its website after unveiling the new tool at the company’s first developer conference in Shanghai on Saturday.

Video-01 enables a user to input a text description to create a video that is up to six seconds in length. The process from the text prompt to generating a video takes about two minutes.

MiniMax founder and chief executive Yan Junjie said at the event that video-01 is the first iteration of the firm’s video-generating tool. He pointed out that future updates will enable users to generate videos from images and to edit these videos, according to local media reports.

Video-01 from MiniMax reflects how Chinese tech firms have been making aggressive moves into this nascent AI market segment, several months after OpenAI first unveiled samples of videos created by Sora in February and prompted concerns about the country’s ability to keep up with US advances. Sora remains unreleased to the public.

Ryan Morrison for Tom’s Guide also noted in a post: ‘MiniMax does seem to have captured generating human movement well and promises this is just the first version, with a follow-up in weeks not months, so this is definitely an AI video generators to keep an eye on.’

As I have said many times before, the deception these days is and will only continue to get significantly worse. And even then, I have also warned that we are just now getting the “toys:” media giants and militaries of the world have had much more powerful technology for a long time, in my opinion.

2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

    • We are already in idiocracy. That scene with Terry Crews? Same with Hulk Hogan in that RNC theater they had recently put out. What a joke, America’s politics; catering to adult, and older men and women who act like children still; with the rock n roll music, sensationalist-type conventions and the like-patriot channels. And they wonder why the evil in the States makes no sense.

  • Daniel 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

    Genesis 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

    Satan is giving man the ability to become “gods” through AI tech, eventually the MOTB.

    Everything abominable to GOD – witchcraft, wizards, witches, sorcery – is being put forth as enjoyable and fun to young children.

    Even the “Christians” would let their children watch AI Videos if they had one Bible verse in it.

    My coworker is so deceived about the King James Bible that he said, “THEY SHOULD ALL BE BURNED”

    May God have mercy on this world and may His blessings be on those that fear Him.
