Google has always been committed to multimodal. And, Veo and omni simply were better than Sora And, Youtube is huge both as a place where video contents goes and where can be trained from. Microdramas are starting to become a real category--14 Billion USD, 90% of it made with AI. Chinese video models can be more immediately impressive, but none of them come close to beat the value of Google's Flow. Especially when you are throwing away a lot of generations as part of the creative process. Which is what you have to do to make longer content with any video model. OpenAI needed to be able to focus. Google can walk and chew gum, and they're not going to run out of money to buy chewing gum.

Sora 2 was way better than Veo in terms of quality. It just didn't have much of a use case for businesses outside of one-shot zany UGC-looking clips. https://youtu.be/QaiecWzeHFM?si=UV6eF-m514nCOFe0&t=156 https://youtu.be/QaiecWzeHFM?si=UV6eF-m514nCOFe0&t=156

Any source on the 90% number? Last I saw (recently) one of the big players just announced they were planning to do 50% AI going forward

> Microdramas are starting to become a real category--14 Billion USD Almost all concrete english-language info I can find about microdramas is astroturfed to hell by consultants and "independent" industry publications. Wikipedia's citations for 2025 revenue are 'Reel Reel' and 'Duanju News'. Neither cite their source, though they are likely just regurgitating predictions from Omdia, a media consultancy. > Real Reel™ works with companies across entertainment, technology and the creator economy to build relevant industry conversations around mobile-first storytelling. Duanju News is published by 'Studio Phocéen', who run their own microdrama production house. The Omdia revenue estimates, which is where the projected $14 billion comes from, are completely unsubstantiated as far as I can tell. They even go so far as to make "according to new research" a link that when followed sends you to their generic "/advance-your-business/media-and-entertainment" sales pitch. https://omdia.tech.informa.com/pr/2025/oct/microdramas-to-generate-11-billion-dollars-in-global-revenues-in-2025-says-omdia https://omdia.tech.informa.com/pr/2025/oct/microdramas-to-ge... I don't have any special insights here, it all just smells a bit like McKinsey's "The metaverse will be worth $5 trillion by 2030, you better not miss out!!!
