Generate Stable Diffusion scenes around 3D models

3D-to-photo is an open source tool for Generative AI product photography, that uses 3D models to allow fine camera angle control in generated images. If you have 3D models created using the iOS 3D scanner you can upload them directly on to 3D-to-photo and describe the scene you want to create. For example: "on a city side walk" "near a lake, overlooking the water" Then click "generate" to get the final images. The tech stack behind 3D-to-photo: Handling 3d models on the web: @threejs Hosting the diffusion model: @replicate 3D scanning apps: shopify,Polycam3D or LumaLabsAI

In plain words

3D-to-photo is an open source tool that generates photorealistic product images from 3D models using AI. Users upload 3D models created from iOS scanning apps, describe their desired scene, and the tool generates images with precise camera control. It combines Three.js for web-based 3D handling with Stable Diffusion for image generation, making it useful for product photographers and e-commerce businesses who want to create diverse product shots without physical photography.

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
