DynamiCrafter: Animating open-domain images with video diffusion priors
Hello HN! I would like to show our recent research project: DynamiCrafter. DynamiCrafter can animate open-domain still images based on text prompt by leveraging the pre-trained video diffusion priors. It supports: - Image-to-video generation - Storytelling video generation - Looping video generation - Generative frame interpolation We have released source code at https://github.com/Doubiiu/DynamiCrafter and deployed a demo at https://huggingface.co/spaces/Doubiiu/DynamiCrafter Please also refer to…

In plain words
DynamiCrafter is a research tool that animates still images into videos based on text prompts using video diffusion models. It supports image-to-video generation, storytelling video creation, looping videos, and generative frame interpolation. The tool is designed for users who want to create dynamic videos from static images with customizable narratives. Source code and a demo are publicly available.

DynamiCrafter: Animating Open-Domain Images with Video Diffusion Priors2024 · github.com · ▲6Hello 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:…
Create your own video clips with Stable Diffusion2023 · neuralframes.com · ▲247A 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.

Ideogram 4.0 – open-weight 9.3B text-to-image modelJun 2026 · github.com · ▲46It'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’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
