Open-source video generation arrives. Stability AI releases models that turn a single image into a 2-4 second animated clip, and anyone can download and run them locally. For creators who want control over their tools, who want to fine-tune and customize, who want to run AI video without a subscription, this is the starting gun. The open-source AI video ecosystem begins here.
