OpenAI has reportedly made a significant breakthrough in artificial general intelligence (AGI) development, which has been somewhat obscured by other news and detailed in a research paper and blog post. The breakthrough involves advancements in video generation models, which are seen as a path toward creating general-purpose simulators of the physical world. These models, particularly the large-scale model named Sora, can generate high-fidelity video and demonstrate an understanding of the physical world, physics, and three-dimensional space. The scaling of these models is believed to be a promising direction for AGI development.
