>"Draft videos more efficiently in 360p
Generate lightweight previews in 360p resolution up to 60% faster
and at a third of the cost compared to Omni 1.1’s standard 720p resolution. This is helpful for rapid prototyping, storyboard iteration, and quick rendering in developer platforms."
This is a great idea, to have a low-resolution mode for additional speed to create previews, do test runs, create rapid prototypes, etc.
My curiousity is, what's the absolute useable minimum that this could be?
That is, would/could 240p resolution work? If so, what about 144p? How about lower? Then, could those images be upscaled quickly (and is the result still usable?) with a faster image upscaling-only neural network?
The reason why knowing such lower numbers / lower bounds -- is because they could be important for additional cost/time savings and/or running derived LLM's on local resource-constrained hardware...
Anyway, great post, great idea, and we welcome Gemnini Omni 1.1 Flash to the ever-expanding list of LLM/AI's!
