24 alternatives to DynamiCrafter: Animating Open-Domain Images with Video Diffusion Priors

Hello HN! We have released a major update of our image-to-video diffusion model, DynamiCrafter, with better dynamic, higher resolution, and stronger coherence. DynamiCrafter can animate open-domain still images based on text prompt by leveraging the pre-trained video diffusion priors. Please check our project page and paper for more information. We will continue to improve the model's performance. Comparisons with Stable Video Diffusion and PikaLabs can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NfmIsNAg-g Online demo:…

    A few months ago, I started making video clips with stable diffusion and noticed that the tools to do this were too complicated for everyday people. That's why I built neural frames. Enjoy.

    Hey everyone! Excited to be able to share the release of `InvokeAI 2.0 - A Stable Diffusion Toolkit`, an open source project that aims to provide both enthusiasts and professionals a suite of robust image creation tools. Optimized for efficiency, InvokeAI needs only ~3.5GB of VRAM to generate a 512x768 image (and less for smaller images), and is compatible with Windows/Linux/Mac (M1 & M2). InvokeAI was one of the earliest forks off of the core CompVis repo (formerly lstein/stable-diffusion), and recently evolved into a full-fledged community driven and open source stable…

    Hi HN, this is an early version of what we’re imagining as a truly functional stock photo platform using Stable Diffusion. We’re doing our best to hide the customization prompts on the back end so users are able to quickly search for pre-existing generated photos, or create new ones that would ideally work as well. If we keep going with it, in future versions we’d like to add voting, better tags, and more varied prompts, or maybe whatever you recommend!

    It's our new text-to-image model: a 9.3B single-stream diffusion transformer trained entirely from scratch. We focused heavily on controllability through structured JSON prompts, with strong text rendering, spatial awareness through bounding box guidance, and color palette control. It has the best text rendering of any open-weight model we've tested so far, and the NF4 quantized checkpoint runs on a single 24GB GPU. For more technical details and examples see our blog post: https://ideogram.ai/blog/ideogram-4.0/ We will be happy to answer any questions :)

    Hey HN, this is Lina, Andrew, and Sidney from Lemon Slice. We’ve trained a custom diffusion transformer (DiT) model that achieves video streaming at 25fps and wrapped it into a demo that allows anyone to turn a photo into a real-time, talking avatar.

    I previously posted this a month and a half ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45876742 I have rewritten it to be much more simple, from 951 lines of code to just 364, with no loss in core functionality or generation quality. I also added a tiny GPT implementation as a comparison (inspired by Andrej Karpathy's code). The two model implementations are ~80% identical, with the core differences being the generate and get_batch functions. The model architecture, training loop, etc, differ in only 19 lines of code. Trained weights are included, so you can just clone and run…

    I've had a blast playing with stable diffusion and I see all the potential it will bring to us. I released a service for training your model, just upload 20-30 images and you can have a model of someone or some object doing anything. You can train one model for free a month in a slower queue or you can train many models on a fast queue and with other features for a fee. Here is an example of using it for show product placement: https://app.88stacks.com/image/O6kReClOvrz7 and here is an example of using it for people:…

    Hey HN! Really excited to share this new image de-identifier. Kind of like a game of image telephone, you can upload an image and our app will convert the image to a caption, then will generate an image using stable diffusion using the parameters you set for the model yourself. We had so much fun making this and seeing the varying levels of scary generated images.

    Hi HN! We're proud to share Hotshot, a large-scale diffusion transformer model for text-to-video generation that we built with just a 4-person team. You can try it today in beta at https://hotshot.co, with 2 free generations per day. The model generates 5 seconds of 720p video from text prompts. It excels at prompt alignment, and consistency. It also excels at generating people, animals, and nature. In blind tests with 100 users, Hotshot generations were preferred to Runway ML 60% of the time. Hotshot generations were preferred to Luma 80% of the time. Overall, users preferred…
