The Next Frontier of AI Video Is Control

الوصف

a16z General Partner Jennifer Li sits down with fal co-founder Gorkem Yurtseven and Head of Engineering Batuhan Taskaya to discuss what changes when generative video becomes fast enough to run in real time.They unpack the technical work behind H3 Max, fal’s post-trained version of MiniMax’s open-weight video model, and how combining model post-training with systems and hardware optimization significantly reduced generation time while maintaining quality. That speed has enabled experiments with continuous video, including streams that can remember previous scenes and respond to new directions while they’re running.They also discuss why the next challenge may be less about speed and more about control, from camera movement and lighting to characters, motion, and lip sync. And they explore what those capabilities could mean for professional creative workflows, where artists and studios need predictable tools rather than simply generating a video from a prompt.Resources:Follow Gorkem Yurtseven on X: https://x.com/gorkemFollow Batuhan Taskaya on X: https://x.com/isidenticalLearn more about fal: https://fal.aiFollow Jennifer Li on X: https://x.com/JenniferHli Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.
