  We introduce Vidu, a high-performance text-to-video generator that is capable
of producing 1080p videos up to 16 seconds in a single generation. Vidu is a
diffusion model with U-ViT as its backbone, which unlocks the scalability and
the capability for handling long videos. Vidu exhibits strong coherence and
dynamism, and is capable of generating both realistic and imaginative videos,
as well as understanding some professional photography techniques, on par with
Sora -- the most powerful reported text-to-video generator. Finally, we perform
initial experiments on other controllable video generation, including
canny-to-video generation, video prediction and subject-driven generation,
which demonstrate promising results.
