Abstract
While video models like Veo and Sora have achieved photorealism and interactivity (e.g., Genie), their high inference costs pose significant challenges for efficient deployment. To address this, we turn to explicit 3D representations as a more efficient medium for serving. In this talk, I will show how we can effectively distill the priors of 2D generative models into consistent 3D representations.
