The organization focuses on three main activities. The first is to educate the industry on challenges, technologies, and trends through informative, publicly available resources such as whitepapers, articles, and e-books. The second is to foster collaboration among different video ecosystem players through working groups, quarterly meetings, and conferences. Third is to define solutions for streaming video challenges by producing specifications, best practices, and other technical documentation.","PeriodicalId":49512,"journal":{"name":"SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal","volume":"132 8","pages":"58-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49945403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although FMs burst upon the scene seemingly without precedent, the roots of FMs go back several years earlier. A key distinguishing factor of FMs versus older models is their powerful applications to Generative AI (GenAI), the use of models to generate new content and transform existing content. GenAI models tend to be general-purpose and more flexible than previous kinds of AI models, which are limited to specific predictive tasks such as object detection in images, text classification, forecasting, or detecting data anomalies. Although there were some other kinds of GenAI models before the rise of FMs, FMs are much more powerful and are an enormous leap over their predecessors.","PeriodicalId":49512,"journal":{"name":"SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal","volume":"132 8","pages":"53-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49945402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
