China's AI video generation technology is developing rapidly. Conch AI, a subsidiary of MiniMax, has quickly become the focus of global attention with its stunning performance. The editor of Downcodes will give you an in-depth understanding of this AI product and its profound impact on the global AI industry pattern. Its great success in just a few months is undoubtedly a reflection of China’s AI technological strength.
As a new wave of competition sets off in the global field of AI video generation, Conch AI of Chinese technology company MiniMax has emerged strongly with its astonishing performance. Data shows that this AI product, which was born in April this year, achieved a visit growth rate of 867.41% in September, becoming the fastest growing AI product in the world.
The core competitiveness of this product comes from its underlying technical support. MiniMax built Conch AI based on the trillion-parameter MoE model abab-6.5, making it comparable to GPT-4, Claude3Opus and Gemini1.5Pro. In practical applications, Conch AI not only supports basic functions such as voice calls, text interaction, and image recognition, but what is even more eye-catching is its video generation capabilities.
The turning point that really made Conch AI stand out in the global market was August 31. On the same day, MiniMax released the first AI high-definition video generation model abab-video-1. This English-supporting model can generate high-definition videos with 1280*720 resolution and 25 frames. Although the current duration is limited to 6 seconds, it has demonstrated a technical level comparable to top international products such as OpenAI's Sora and Runway. In the authoritative VBench video generation model evaluation, Conch AI ranked first for its excellent picture quality, coherence and fluency.
The response from overseas markets to Conch AI has been overwhelming. A "Star Wars" themed video produced by filmmaker Dave Clark exceeded 5 million views in 48 hours, attracting attention from all walks of life. What’s more worth mentioning is that the Tusheng video function launched during the National Day has made Conch AI a strong competitor to American companies such as Runway and Luma AI.
This phenomenon is not isolated. In the field of AI video generation, Chinese technology companies including Zhipu, Bytedance, and Kuaishou have launched unique video models, all of which can generate high-quality video content of more than 5 seconds. Overseas media generally believe that Chinese companies will play an increasingly important role in the future development of AI video technology.
The success of Conch AI heralds the growing competitiveness of China’s AI technology on the international stage. In the future, we will see more Chinese AI companies emerging in the global technology field and contributing to the development of world technology.
