    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! 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…

    The model has 3B active parameters. We put the code, homepage, paper and model links here: - Code: https://github.com/bytedance/Lance - Homepage: https://lance-project.github.io/ - Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.18678 - Model: https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/Lance p.s. Lance is a research project, not a polished product. The model was trained using fewer than 128 GPUs.

    AI-generated video has made remarkable progress, but the output often caps at 480p or 720p—blurry textures, jagged edges, and lacking detail. For creators, that’s far from production-ready. FlashVSR is a super-resolution tool designed specifically for this use case. Built on diffusion models, it delivers high-quality, high-efficiency 4× upscaling, ideal for enhancing generated video, restoring legacy footage, or any workflow demanding high resolution. Key Technical Highlights Single-Step Diffusion: Distills multi-step diffusion into a single inference step, significantly improving speed…

    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 :)

    Hi HN I recently ran into a common issue with AI-generated videos — dynamic watermarks that move across frames. Instead of manually editing them out, I decided to experiment with AI-based cleanup and wrote a small tool called *Sora2 Video Cleaner*. It uses frame-level detection and temporal consistency to automatically identify and smooth out watermark regions, restoring a cleaner video output. The goal isn’t to “crack” anything proprietary, but to help creators improve their visuals and repurpose their content more cleanly. Try it here:…
