    # Video Inference
    paths = ['assets/cat_and_chicken.mp4']
    questions = ['What animals are in the video, what are they doing, and how does the video feel?']
    # Reply:
    # The video features a kitten and a baby chick playing together. The kitten is seen laying on the floor while the baby chick hops around. The two animals interact playfully with each other, and the video has a cute and heartwarming feel to it.

    # Video Inference
    paths = ['assets/sora.mp4']
    questions = ['Please describe this video.']
    # Reply:
    # The video features a series of colorful kites flying in the sky. The kites are first seen flying over trees, and then they are shown flying in the sky. The kites come in various shapes and colors, including red, green, blue, and yellow. The video captures the kites soaring gracefully through the air, with some kites flying higher than others. The sky is clear and blue, and the trees below are lush and green. The kites are the main focus of the video, and their vibrant colors and intricate designs are highlighted against the backdrop of the sky and trees. Overall, the video showcases the beauty and artistry of kite-flying, and it is a delight to watch the kites dance and glide through the air.
