According to his introduction, W1's real-time generation cost is already close to YouTube's CDN bandwidth cost of about $0.2 per hour, the first-frame generation time is about 300 to 600 milliseconds, and the full-chain first response time is about 1 second. Liu Yu said that over 19 months the company redid data collection, the data pipeline, and infra, has finely filtered tens of millions of hours of multimodal data, and plans to complete training of W2, with a data volume two orders of magnitude higher, in Q4.

W1's real-time generation cost is already close to YouTube's CDN bandwidth cost of about $0.2 per hour, with first-frame generation time of about 300 to 600 milliseconds and end-to-end first response time of about 1 second. Liu Yu said that over 19 months the company rebuilt its data collection, data pipeline, and infra, has finely curated tens of millions of hours of multimodal data, and plans to complete training of W2, with two orders of magnitude more data, in Q4.
