Google Deepmind's GenCeption repurposes a video generator for classic vision tasks such as depth estimation and segmentation, matching state-of-the-art systems with far less training data. The model trained almost entirely on synthetic videos. Its results add to the debate over whether video generators already contain a kind of universal world model.
