VideoGPT: Turn tiny video pieces into real moving scenes

VideoGPT is a simple way to teach a computer how to make short videos by first learning tiny, useful parts of a clip.
It learns compressed video pieces that capture shapes and motion, then a second model stitches those pieces together over time, like making a flipbook.
The idea is easy to follow and the system is pretty light to train, so researchers can try it without huge machines.
Results show it can make realistic videos of robots and everyday actions that look natural and smooth.
You can watch how it fills in missing frames and imagine new scenes from those learned pieces.
The method borrows tricks from language models, a kind of transformer-style model, to predict what comes next in time.
It feel surprising how well simple parts and smart prediction can create moving images, and the team shared samples and code so others can build on it.
Try it if you want to see machines create short video clips that actually look alive.
