We're actually the only company training a foundation model to do this type of thing today, to generate A-roll. There's a couple of technical reasons why that's the case. There's other companies in the space, but they're not training foundation models. So we'll see how the space evolves in the future. I think it will actually tend more towards what we're doing.

you have to find training videos where people are already interacting with objects, you drinking a can of Coke or whatever it might be. And then you have to be able to identify those objects and then provide them as conditioning. So for example, it might be text conditioning. So if you can like adequately describe this particular can of Coke in text,

That might be enough, but it may also not be right. Like Fiji water bottle has a very particular design. Unless the model has seen one before, it may not be able to precisely recreate it. And text might not be enough to describe what it looks like. So you might imagine like image conditioning. Here's a picture of a Fiji water bottle. And then text that says...

So if you're like rotating it around and moving it around, it'll guess essentially what it probably looks like on the other sides, but it'll be pretty accurate because it can see the bottle from one angle. You could imagine a world in which we provide multiple angles of the bottle just to make it a little bit more accurate.
