可媲美Sora的中国文生视频模型,就这么来了。


4月27日上午,在2024中关村论坛上,生数科技联合清华大学发布中国首个长时长、高一致性、高动态性视频大模型——Vidu,它所展示的效果立刻刷屏。

据生数科技,Vidu支持一键生成16秒、1080P分辨率的视频内容。而从视频来看,Vidu的一致性、运动幅度都达到了Sora水准,虽然时长还比不上Sora的最长60秒,但整体上已经可以对标Sora。

生数的发布一如既往的低调,并没有什么发布会。但效果引发广泛关注,一时间“中国Sora”的称谓四起。

但我们第一时间和生数做了交流,这家核心团队来自清华人工智能研究院、由清华人工智能研究院副院长朱军博士牵头的公司对我们表示:

Vidu的视频时长会继续突破,“另外,我们的架构是支持多模态的,视频模态只是当前阶段最重要的。”据生数透露,Vidu目前正在加速迭代提升,面向未来,Vidu灵活的模型架构也将能够兼容更广泛的多模态能力。

言下之意,还说生数科技是“中国sora”,就有点太没想象力了。

生数的野心比这更大。


逐帧拆解对比Vidu与Sora

在今年3月12日的一次交流中,生数科技联合创始人兼CEO唐家渝曾对我们表示:

“今年内一定能达到Sora目前版本的效果,但很难说是三个月还是半年”。

据我们了解,生数三月份就实现了8秒的视频生成,在四月份突破了16秒生成。今天的发布背后,短短两个月时间完成巨大进步。

这次的展示中,到底有哪些细节值得关注,我们第一时间逐帧对比了Vidu与Sora,话不多说,先来一起看一下。


经典走路名场面

Sora这个街头美女走路的视频也是刷爆的各大社交媒体,Vidu一出来就贴脸开大!不光生成街头美女走路,街头帅哥走路就连街头熊都给整出来了!

首先从人物、背景来看,Vidu的生成效果真的和Sora不相上下,但是人物动作协调性与Sora相比还是稍弱一些。

中国龙

这一视频场景,二者生成的风格不太相同,Vidu展示的是现实中虚拟龙的形象,Sora是现实中舞龙舞狮真实存在的场景,但是二者对于龙的形象各种细节也都展现出了各自的特点。

另外,除了主体龙之外的背景两者都很真实,但是Sora的视频画面丰富度更高。

Vidu如何炼成:正确的技术路线+工程技术迁移

这次发布的视频,所有人肉眼可见的效果大幅进步,背后是如何做到的?

这看起来的突破其实是生数长期积累的结果。

OpenAI Sora的DiT架构融合了Diffusion和Transformer,不仅能够实现与GAN相媲美的图像生成质量,而且还具有更好的扩展性和计算效率。而通过使用Transformer结构代替传统Diffusion模型中常用的U-Net结构,DiT能够以更高效的方式处理数据,尤其是在处理大规模数据时,能够显著减少所需的计算资源,同时在视觉任务下展现出卓越的涌现能力。

在技术路线上,Vidu采用了和Sora完全一致的Diffusion和Transformer融合的架构。Vidu的底层基于生数自研的U-ViT架构,该架构由团队在2022年9月提出,实际上U-ViT是第一个融合了Diffusion 和Transformer的架构,比Sora的DiT架构更早。


图注:《All are Worth Words: A ViT Backbone for Diffusion Models》提出了网络架构U-ViT,这是Vidu最重要的技术基础。


市面上的部分视频生成工具增加视频长度的思路是采用的是插帧技术,这种方法通过在原始视频帧之间插入额外的帧来提升视频的流畅度和长度。插帧技术可以基于不同的算法实现,包括传统的运动补偿(MEMC)、深度学习方法,或是结合编解码器进行智能补帧等。Nvidia的SuperSlomo技术就是通过深度学习算法来预测并插入中间帧以实现视频的高帧率播放。

但同时插帧也会带来一些弊端。比如可能导致的画质下降,尤其是在快速运动或阴影处理上可能出现扭曲或模糊。

另外一些工具通过组合不同的模型和技术来生成看似较长的视频,例如,一些工具可能先使用Stable Diffusion或Midjourney等图像生成模型生成单张图像,然后通过图生视频的技术将这些图像转换成短视频,最后再将这些短视频进行拼接以形成更长的视频内容。

这些方法的确能够增加视频的长度,但它基本上还是依赖于“短视频生成”的工作流程。因此可能会在内容的流畅性和视觉表现上显得不够连贯,缺乏一些自然的过渡效果,而且在叙事和逻辑上可能也不如一个完整的长视频那样紧密。

Vidu基于U-ViT架构,不涉及中间的插帧和拼接等多步骤的处理,文本到视频的转换是直接且连续的。感官上更加“一镜到底”,视频从头到尾连续生成,没有插帧痕迹。

除了U-ViT底层架构的创新,Vidu也离不开生数团队的工程化基础。

在2023年3月,基于 U-ViT 架构,生数在开源的大规模图文数据集 LAION-5B 上训练了 10 亿参数量的多模态模型——UniDiffuser,并将其开源。UniDiffuser主要擅长图文任务,支持图文模态间的任意生成和转换。

据了解,UniDiffuser首次验证了融合架构在大规模训练任务中的可扩展性(Scaling Law),相当于将U-ViT 架构在大规模训练任务中的所有环节流程都跑通。值得一提的,UniDiffuser比最近才切换到DiT架构的Stable Diffsion 3早了一年。

此外,视频可以被看作是图像序列在时间轴上的扩展,因此处理图像的技术和经验可以迁移到视频处理中。例如Sora采用了DALL·E 3的重标注技术,对视觉训练数据进行精细地重标注和描述,使其生成视频时能够更准确地遵循用户的指令。

正是这些积累的工程经验,为生数从图文任务到视频任务的技术迁移打下了基础。

实际上,Vidu在视频生成任务中就复用了生数科技在图文任务中积累的多项技术经验,包括训练加速、并行化训练和低显存训练等,从而优化了训练流程。通过视频数据压缩技术和自研的分布式训练框架,实现了计算精度保证下的通信效率提升、显存开销的大幅度降低,以及训练速度的提升。

从图任务的统一到融合视频能力,Vidu可被视为一款通用视觉模型,能够支持生成更加多样化、更长时长的视频内容。生数也透露,Vidu目前正在加速迭代提升,面向未来,Vidu灵活的模型架构也将能够兼容更广泛的多模态能力。

根据朱军的解释,Vidu意味着We do、We did、We do together。生数也顺势推出了“Vidu大模型合作伙伴计划”。

“主要是希望吸引AI视频场景关注和感兴趣的产业应用伙伴,公司机构,包括一些个人创作者,包括上下游的产业伙伴,起探索应用场景。”

除了自研大模型,生数科技也研发垂类应用产品,旗下有视觉创意设计平台PixWeaver、3D资产创建工具VoxCraft等,按照订阅等形式收费。

至于Vidu的产品化,生数科技留了个悬念,回复了硅星人四个字:

敬请期待。

After Three Consecutive Quarters of Decline, Can the Crypto Market Find a Window for Stabilization in Q3?

The cryptocurrency market has just concluded its worst-performing quarter since 2022, with total capitalization dropping 12.6% to $2.1 trillion. All core metrics indicate capital is leaving the sector, not just rotating within it. Bitcoin fell 14.2% and Ethereum dropped 25.4% in Q2, breaking their previous correlation with US tech stocks. A key driver is the reversal in US spot Bitcoin ETF flows, which saw a net outflow of approximately $4.67 billion in Q2, including a record monthly outflow near $4.5 billion in June. While recent data suggests long-term holders are accumulating again, sustained ETF outflows mean continued selling pressure. Market focus is now singularly on the Federal Reserve. The upcoming July FOMC meeting is seen as the most critical event for Q3. A dovish signal could support Bitcoin reclaiming a $68,000-$84,000 range, while a hawkish stance might establish a new trading band around $50,000-$56,000. Additionally, regulatory uncertainty persists, with the progress of the crucial *CLARITY Act* stalling in the Senate, reducing its perceived 2026 passage probability to 40-45%. Despite the broad downturn, a few sectors showed growth. Prediction markets saw nominal volume surge 48.7% year-over-year to $113.8 billion, and tokenized collectibles transaction volume rose 143% quarterly to $1.4 billion. The Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization sector also continued steady growth, now representing ~$28.1 billion in on-chain value. The market's foundation for an extreme crash appears limited, with Bitcoin price hovering near its 200-week moving average. However, the trading paradigm has shifted from narrative-driven speculation to decisions based on price action, policy developments, and interest rate expectations, making a broad sentiment-driven rally unlikely in the near term.

BIT Trading Moment: BTC Still Suppressed by Weekly 200 EMA, Rejection May Restart Decline; Storage and Semiconductors that Surged Last Night Begin Falling in Evening Trading

**Crypto & Stock Market Wrap: Bitcoin Tests Resistance, Stocks Retreat After AI Surge** Bitcoin consolidates around $66,000, facing key resistance near $68,000—an area seen as a major psychological and technical hurdle where previous rallies have failed. Analysts note the cryptocurrency is caught between its 200-week moving average (~$63,333) and 200-week EMA (~$68,328). A clear break above $68k is needed to signal a stronger bullish trend, while a rejection could lead to a retest of $63k support. Market sentiment remains cautious, with low futures open interest pointing to a low-liquidity rebound rather than a full bull market. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw another $203 million inflow. US stock futures pointed lower after a strong Tuesday session led by a massive rebound in semiconductors and memory stocks. The rally was fueled by renewed optimism about AI-driven hardware demand, with Micron, SanDisk, and SK Hynix surging. However, those gains reversed in pre-market trading. Super Micro Computer (SMCI) soared over 20% after hours on strong guidance and a record backlog. Other standouts included Rocket Lab and nuclear energy plays Oklo and X-Energy. Rising oil prices (Brent above $91) and climbing Treasury yields (10-year near 4.64%), however, are reigniting inflation concerns and acting as a headwind for equities. In Asia, markets were mixed. South Korea's KOSPI pared early gains to close slightly higher as semiconductor stocks like SK Hynix gave back initial surges. Japan's Nikkei edged lower as the yen hit a fresh 38-year low against the dollar, raising fears of potential market intervention. Key events to watch include the Samsung Galaxy launch, AMD's AI event, and a slew of major tech earnings from Alphabet, Tesla, and IBM after the close on Wednesday, followed by the ECB meeting and Intel's earnings on Thursday.

Former CFTC Chairman, Circle President Tarbert: Preaching Long-Termism While Cashing Out $30 Million Himself

Former CFTC Chairman and Circle President Heath Tarbert has consistently advocated for a long-term vision in public, urging patience from investors as Circle’s stock price has fallen significantly from its peak. However, it has been revealed that since Circle’s IPO, Tarbert has continuously sold his CRCL shares through pre-arranged trading plans, cashing out approximately $30 million, without making any public market purchases. This contrast between his public messaging and personal actions has drawn criticism. Tarbert joined Circle in July 2023 as Chief Legal Officer, leveraging his regulatory experience to help guide the company through its IPO and expansion. Despite promoting stablecoins as long-term infrastructure, he established a 10b5-1 trading plan just before Circle went public, leading to substantial stock sales over the following year. In March 2026, he initiated another plan to sell more shares. His career trajectory highlights a pattern of moving between high-level regulatory roles and influential positions in the financial sector. After resigning as CFTC Chairman in early 2021, he joined Citadel Securities as Chief Legal Officer just 27 days later, during a period of intense regulatory scrutiny for the firm. He later joined Circle, aiding its efforts to navigate regulatory challenges for its public listing. While Tarbert's expertise in policy and compliance is valuable to companies like Circle, his actions—advocating long-term confidence while personally divesting—raise questions about the alignment between his public statements and his private financial decisions, leaving investors who followed his advice to bear the market risks.

Gate Research Institute: The 'Wall Street-ization' Wave of Crypto Financial Products – Competition or Integration?

The article titled "Gate Research Institute: Are Crypto Financial Products Sparking a 'Wall Street' Wave—Competition or Convergence?" explores the evolving relationship between the crypto ecosystem and traditional finance (TradFi). The piece begins by reflecting on Bitcoin's original 2009 vision of decentralization, disintermediation, and moving away from banks. It then contrasts this with the 2024 landscape, where key crypto assets like Bitcoin are increasingly held through Wall Street products like ETFs issued by giants like BlackRock. The article questions whether this signifies that TradFi is systematically taking over the rights to issue, price, custody, and distribute crypto financial assets. The core argument is that this is not a zero-sum takeover but rather a bidirectional convergence where each side addresses the other's weaknesses. Crypto offers 24/7 global markets, programmable settlement, and open access but lacks compliant channels, institutional-grade custody, deep fiat liquidity, and mainstream distribution. TradFi possesses these but is constrained by legacy systems, limited operating hours, and slow settlement. Two primary convergence paths are highlighted: * **Path A (CEX to TradFi):** Exemplified by Gate, which has progressed from offering tokenized stocks and CFDs to providing direct, real stock trading (US, Hong Kong, South Korea) within its platform, using USDT. * **Path B (TradFi to Crypto):** Exemplified by Robinhood, which has integrated crypto trading, acquired exchanges like Bitstamp, and is moving traditional assets like stocks onto the blockchain via tokenization and its own Layer 2. Both paths are ultimately competing to become the next-generation, unified financial account—a "super account" where users can seamlessly trade cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, RWA (Real World Assets), and tokenized treasury products in one interface. The growth of RWA and tokenized treasuries (e.g., BlackRock's BUIDL) is presented as the asset-layer fusion, providing stable, yield-bearing assets on-chain and acting as a bridge between the two worlds. In conclusion, the "Wall Street-ization" of crypto is framed as a mutual transformation. Decentralized ideals persist in the protocol layer, while at the application layer, a more efficient, global, and accessible unified capital market is emerging from this convergence. The future competition lies not between crypto exchanges and stockbrokers, but between platforms vying to offer the most comprehensive asset coverage, liquidity, and user experience within a single account.
