VASA-1 can produce high-resolution video (512 x 512 pixels) at high frame rates, researchers said, which in offline mode provides 45 frames per second, while in offline mode it provides 45 frames per second. online is 40 frames per second.
However, many users are concerned that Microsoft's new AI toolkit could be abused to create deepfake videos.
