Midjourney V1 results are in! Midjourney V1 debuts at #5 in the Artificial Analysis Video Arena
After >12k votes, Midjourney's first video generation model beats OpenAI's Sora, Runway Gen 4 and Kling 1.6 Pro but trails the frontier occupied by ByteDance's Seedance, MiniMax's Hailuo 02 and Google's Veo 3.
From initial observations the model demonstrates strength in rendering people and emotions but may not perform as well in scenes of high movement and physical interactions.

Announcing The Stargate Project
The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.
The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.
Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements.
As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle.
This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services.
All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.
Mix and match models.
· Why rely on a single AI system? Research shows combining multiple models strategically can boost efficiency while reducing costs.
· The right tool for the right job makes all the difference.
Generative AI is powerful but can be costly! How can businesses optimize for performance and budget?
Here are practical strategies to lower your AI costs without sacrificing quality. 🧵

Smaller tools for targeted tasks.
· Instead of deploying massive AI models for everything, use smaller, fine-tuned models for specific jobs.
· Think specialized instead of generalist. Efficient and cost-effective!
Route tasks to the right model.
· Not every query needs the same AI power.
· Use orchestration to send simple queries to smaller models and complex ones to larger systems.
· Smart routing = smart savings.
