Video model builders shift toward licensed training data

For video AI teams, the immediate implication is that training data strategy now centers on curated, licensed inputs rather than sheer scale. That changes how multimodal foundation models are built and what kinds of datasets are considered usable. For the broader streaming ecosystem, it signals that video data is becoming a more controlled asset class, with licensing and curation moving to the front of model development. What to watch: concrete examples of licensed video datasets or new model releases built around them.
