I believe they are already state of the art for image compression. That being said these shitty video models I believe are just an arms race between Meta and Google after the release of stable diffusion. Microsoft has a video version of CLIP that I believe will really change the game, but unless you have trained a model with video embeddings it's all going to look devoid of any narrative. Right now the models just look like a sequence of images with the same promt and some sort of continuity to make it look more video like.
