“Code coming soon” from Google means basically never.

I don’t understand why they keep making these announcements and then just sitting on the results.

This is an immediately commercially useful product even as an API. You could make a mobile app for kids to “create their own cartoon story”.

Someone else will have to reproduce this for it to see the light of day.

We might eventually see the code for the models and inference, but I do doubt we’ll see training code or be granted access to training data. Google is pretty bad at this.
I have the same feeling but I wonder if it's actually true. Do we have any examples of announcements where the code was never released?
