                          • Homegrown AI startup\u00a0Avataar<\/strong>\u00a0has announced the launch of\u00a0Varya<\/strong>, an indigenous video-generation AI model developed with support from the\u00a0IndiaAI\u00a0Mission.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • The model uses an\u00a0advanced distillation technique<\/strong>\u00a0that reduces the video-generation process from 50 steps to just four while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0comparable output quality at an affordable price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                            What is Distilled Video Generation?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            • Distilled video generation is a\u00a0model compression technique from machine learning<\/strong>\u00a0where a compact “student” model replicates the outputs of a larger, slower “teacher” model transferring capabilities while\u00a0eliminating\u00a0redundant computation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • Standard video models iterate through over 50 noisy steps before producing clean output; distillation teaches the student to skip most steps and deliver the same quality in just a few iterations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
