Vidu - the new Chinese text-to-video AI Model

On 27th April 2024, Tsinghua University and the Chinese AI startup ShengShu Technology annouced "Vidu", a text-to-video AI model similar to OpenAI's Sora.

Unfortunately for us, they chose the name "Vidu" for their AI model. We've been using the name VIDU for our product since 2021.

This page provides some details on Vidu the text-to-video AI model to outline how it's different from our product, VIDU - Loom-style videos personalized at scale.
