Moonvalley's Purified AI Model Outperforms Sora, Higgsfield's ReelMagic, Delivers More Cinematic AI-Generated Videos
*Asteria Teams Up with Moonvalley to Introduce First Moral AI Model in Hollywood. Bryn Moser, creator of RYOT, a studio for immersive content that was bought by Verizon, and CEO of XTR, a venture-funded, Oscar-nominated, and non-fiction streaming service, revealed this week the plans for his AI production company, located in the well-known Sennett Studios in LA's Silverlake neighborhood. In a previous deal, XTR, now known as Asteria (the Greek goddess of the stars), obtained a pioneering animation research company called Late Night Labs this year. Asteria offers grants to AI filmmakers without strings attached to encourage community, creativity, and collaboration. I failed to see the commercial purpose of this until Asteria announced its partnership with Moonvalley. At the same time, Asteria announced Paul Trillo as its Creative Partner.* Trillo and Asteria are likely to be the first to utilize the new Moonvalley model. If the content is excellent, the world will stampede to Moser and Moonvalley's door. A flood of fast-mimicking competitors will soon emerge with their own respectable models.
