    Lemon Slice Live – Have a video call with a transformer model▲195

    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. Here’s an example conversation from co-founder Andrew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeYp5xQMFZY. Try it for yourself at: https://lemonslice.com/live. (Btw, we used to be called Infinity AI and did a Show HN under that name last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41467704.) Unlike existing…

    wan2video▲14

    I’ve been following both Veo3 and Wan 2.5 closely, and the differences are starting to feel interesting. Veo3 has been the benchmark for cinematic AI video, especially with its stability and audio-video sync. Wan 2.5, though, takes a different route. It’s built on a native multimodal setup, meaning text, images, and audio are processed together instead of stitched from separate models. That allows smoother lip-sync, more natural background sounds, and videos that don’t feel like patchwork. The workflow is quick: input text or an image, optionally add audio, and you get a preview in minutes.…
