Hotshot launches new text-to-video AI generator
Within the next 12 months, Hotshot's co-founder Aakash Sastry anticipates that entire YouTube videos will be generated by AI.
Now you can add yet another name to that list: Hotshot, a startup founded in 2023 by Aakash Sastry, John Mullan, and Duncan Crawbuck, today announced its new self-titled text-to-video AI generator model as a public “early preview.” Reached by VentureBeat via X Direct Message, Sastry noted that the trio had been building consumer apps for 11 years and is financially “backed by Lachy Groom, Alexis Ohanian, SV Angel, and more!” The paper explains that the team used 600 million clips and “thousands of GPUs” requiring “constant babysitting, and it sometimes even feels like they have a mind of their own,” later stating “[Nvidia] H100s fail regularly, particularly when you are pushing the hardware to the max in training a video model.”
