Author(s): Kaushik Rajan Originally published on Towards AI. How video generation models like Sora-2 are bridging the gap between static images and dynamic understanding I still remember the first time I saw a Vision Language Model (VLM) describe a complex image. It felt like magic. But then I asked it to predict what would happen next in a chaotic street scene, and the magic faded. It struggled. It could see the “now,” but it was blind to the […]

The choice must be made months in advance, long before flu season even begins, and it can often feel like a race against the clock. If the selected strains match those that circulate, the vaccine will likely be highly effective. But if the prediction is off, protection can drop significantly, leading to (potentially preventable) illness and strain […]
