An Apache 2.0 video generation model.

A new architecture for multimodal models where the vision encoder is trained natively and not just late-fusion: "Aria processes text, images, video, and code all at once, without needing separate setups for each type, demonstrating the advantages of a multimodal native model." The performance is very strong, but I'm annoyed they didn't include comparisons to Molmo at launch.
