ByteDance’s Video Generation Model PixelDance to be Launched Ahead of OpenAI’s Sora

According to the Chinese media Jiemian, ByteDance will soon launch a video generation model called PixelDance, ahead of Sora.

ByteDance has been active in the field of large models. On September 24th, the company simultaneously released two large models, PixelDance and Seaweed, for video generation, and conducted a small-scale invitation test for creators and corporate clients through DreamAI and the Volcano Engine. According to insiders, in addition to the upcoming launch on DreamAI, PixelDance will also start internal testing on Douyin soon.

Runway’s co-founder mentioned on November 9th that OpenAI plans to release Sora in about two weeks. OpenAI has also released a short film created by London artist Jon Uriarte, which seems to be building anticipation for the official release of Sora. This suggests that PixelDance is likely to be released in the next few days.
