Video Generation Is Booming, But Where Are the Deep Video Analysis Models?

The author points out that despite the boom in video generation models, the industry still lacks models capable of deep video analysis. An ideal video analysis model should not only identify what happens but also evaluate video quality, emotional mood, and the consistency between consecutive clips.
The author argues that a strong "critic" is essential to form a reasoning loop for video generation: a model generates content, watches and evaluates it, understands what feels wrong, and iterates to improve. Currently, video generation feels like the unsupervised pretraining stage of LLMs—models are good at producing plausible outputs but lack deep-level judgment.
