Part 4/15:
Its importance lies in the pace of advancement rather than the raw ability; models are closing the gap between machine and human productivity. Still, the nuances remind us to temper excitement with recognition that models spend a significant amount of time planning and correcting, which impacts real-world utility.
Understanding Physics and Physical Reasoning: The Case of Sora 2
Another intriguing development is Sora 2, a model exhibiting improved understanding of physics, including phenomena like light refraction. Practical demonstrations — such as accurately modeling how ripples on water bend or how light refracts — highlight advancements in the model's grasp of physical laws.
