A Reddit user pointed out that despite powerful AI video generation models like Minimax, the field still needs a technological revolution. Even with an RTX 5090, generating extraordinary high-quality video takes about 50 minutes.
The author urges major companies to heavily fund highly innovative developers like Ilyasviel, the creator of ControlNet, and let them cook for a few years. The ultimate goal is to accelerate a tech revolution in AI video, enabling consumer-grade GPUs to handle complex generation and detail enhancement in minutes rather than hours.
