No, not related. We just took some of Loopy's demo images + audios since they came out 2 days ago and people were aware of them. We want to do an explicit side-by-side at some point, but in the meantime people can make their own comparisons, i.e. compare how the two models perform on the same inputs. Loopy is a Unet-based diffusion model, ours is a diffusion transformer. This is our own custom foundation model we've…

#33Is there any limitation on the video length?
Our transformer model was trained to generate videos that are up to 8s in length. However, we can make videos that are longer by using it an an autoregressive manner, and taking the last N frames of output i to seed output (i+1). It is important to use more than just 1 frame. Otherwise ,the direction of movement can suddenly change, which looks very uncanny. Admittedly, the autoregressive approach tends to accumulate…

#35Sorry, if this question sounds dumb, but I am comparing it with regular image models, where the more images you have, the better output images you generate for the model.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
My sad millennial take is: We're in the brain rot era, if a piece of content doesn't have immediate animation / video and that "wowww" sound byte nobody pays attention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp2ROiFUZ6w
My happy millennial take is that browsers have made strides in performance and flexibility, and people are utilizing that to build more complex and dynamic websites. Simplicity and stillness can be beautiful, and so can animations. Enjoying smooth animations and colorful content isn’t brain rot imo.
I’ll begrudgingly accept a default behavior of animations turned on, but I want the ability to stop them. I want to be able to look at something on a page without other parts of the page jumping around or changing form while I’m not giving the page any inputs.
For some of us, it’s downright exhausting to ignore all the motion and focus on the, you know, actual content. And I hate that this seems to be the standard for web pages these days.
I realize this isn’t particularly realistic or enforceable. But one can dream.

#39I have uploaded an image and then used text to image, and both videos were not animated but the audio was included
Re: Show HN: Infinity – Realistic AI characters that can speak
#40Breathtaking! First, your (Lina's) intro is perfect in honestly and briefly explaining your work in progress. Second, the example I tried had a perfect interpretation of the text meaning/sentiment and translated that to vocal and facial emphasis. It's possible I hit on a pre-trained sentence. With the default manly-man I used the phrase, "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." Third, t…
Yes, we plan on allowing people to store their generations, make variations, mix-and-match faces with audios, etc. We have more of an editor-like experience (script-to-video) in the rest of our web app but haven't had time to move the new V2 model there yet. Soon!
