FULL STORY
======================================================================

The competition among AI video makers is already simmering, but the 
temperature just went up again thanks to a new option called Hotshot, built 
by just four people. The new AI video generator offers a free alternative to 
Runway, OpenAIs Sora, Lumas Dream Machine, and other text-to-video AI models, 
with some impressive results borne from its earlier efforts in AI photo 
creation. 

Hotshots latest text-to-video AI model is still in previews after four months 
of training on 600 million video clips. But it can produce up to 10 seconds 
of footage based on whatever you type. Its an impressive tool not only for 
how the videos look but also for the flexible design of the model. The videos 
it makes can be potentially extended, linked to audio, or even remade in 
higher resolution using secondary tools. It makes Hotshot a great testbed for 
the seeds of longer videos. Even without extra tools, you can get a single 
prompt to make videos in multiple styles, including comic book art and a 
blend of animation and live-action footage. How to use Hotshot 

If you want to test out Hosthot, it's available for free on the Hotshot 
website , with videos free of watermarks. However, the free tier is currently 
limited to two generations per day, so prompt carefully. The prompt field 
keeps track of how many generations are left. If you try to do more, Hotshot 
shows you its paid tiers. 

It is fun to watch Hotshot generate. First, there's a large black video 
screen, then it starts to fill in with a grainy view of the generative 
interpretation. A progress bar lets you know how long it will take to 
complete the clip. When it's done, you can playback, copy the link to your 
video, or download it (it's in MP4 format). Regenerations take a premium 
account. 

As Hotshot enters the competitive landscape of AI-generated video, it faces 
the challenge of standing out in a field already populated with many 
alternatives. 

The AI video model with the most heat is Sora from OpenAI , but that's still 
barely available. There are more accessible options from Runway, Stability AI 
, and Luma Labs' Dream Machine . Hotshot will need to move fast to be more 
than just a flash in the pan, but there's no lack of interest fueling the 
industry for the foreseeable future. You might also like... Stable Diffusion
