Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman is overseeing an overhaul that gives Copilot an empathetic voice, the ability to see, and more advanced reasoning skills. Mustafa Suleyman was at the center of an artificial intelligence revolution once before. As a cofounder of DeepMind, a British company acquired by Google in 2014, he helped devise a new way for computers to tackle seemingly impossible problems by...

Video generation requires modeling a vast spatiotemporal space, which demands significant computational resources and data usage. To reduce the complexity, the prevailing approaches employ a cascaded architecture to avoid direct training with full resolution. Despite reducing computational demands, the separate optimization of each sub-stage hinders knowledge sharing and sacrifices flexibility. This work introduces a unified pyramidal flow matching algorithm. It...
