When OpenAI's Sora was announced I remember being excited, then disappointed upon realizing that it would be ages before it got released, and likely much longer until a less restrictive open source equivalent would be developed.

It is now 9 months after OpenAI's announcement and it is still undergoing content moderation. Meanwhile open source text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video models are dropping on an almost daily basis in the open source community. Hooray for the metaphorical adults in the room!
