What it does

DreamActor-M1: Holistic, Expressive and Robust Human Image Animation with Hybrid Guidance.

We present DreamActor-M1 , a DiT-based human animation framework, with hybrid guidance to achieve fine-grained holistic controllability, multi-scale adaptability, and long-term temporal coherence. Given a reference image, DreamActor-M1 can imitate human behaviors captured from videos, producing highly expressive and realistic human videos cross multiple scales, ranging from portrait to full-body animations. The resultant video is temporally consistent, identity-preserved, and of high fidelity. While recent image-based human animation methods achieve realistic body and facial motion synthesis, critical gaps remain in fine-grained holistic controllability, multi-scale adaptability, and…from grisoon.github.io

    I think Suno opened up music. Kling and Runway opened up video - but there's one creative domain nobody has touched yet: dance. So my team built an web app — give it a YouTube link to your music and it generates a 3D dance animation in under 2 minutes. The core is a diffusion-based music-to-motion model (mvnt-m4) trained on proprietary mocap/label data from professional choreographers. I think dance is the missing piece of AI-generated content — just like how performance made K-pop a global phenomenon, and we believe AI dance will play the same role in the AI UGC era. This is v0.1 — a…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
