This demonstrate large-scale text-to-video generation with a single neural function evaluation (1NFE) by using our proposed adversarial post-training technique. Our model generates 2 seconds of 1280×720 24fps videos in real-time
Jacob Bartlett argues that Swift, once envisioned as a simple and composable programming language by its creator Chris Lattner, has become overly complex due to Apple’s governance. Bartlett highlights that Swift now contains 217 reserved keywords, deviating from its original goal of simplicity. He contrasts Swift’s governance model, where Apple serves as the project lead and arbiter, with other languages like Python and Rust, which have more community-driven or balanced governance structures. Bartlett suggests that Apple’s control has led to Swift’s current state, moving away from Lattner’s initial vision.
The IPAdapter are very powerful models for image-to-image conditioning. The subject or even just the style of the reference image(s) can be easily transferred to a generation. Think of it as a 1-image lora. They are an effective and lightweight adapter to achieve image prompt capability for the pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models. An IP-Adapter with only 22M parameters can achieve comparable or even better performance to a fine-tuned image prompt model.
Once the IP-Adapter is trained, it can be directly reusable on custom models fine-tuned from the same base model.
The IP-Adapter is fully compatible with existing controllable tools, e.g., ControlNet and T2I-Adapter.
SPAR3D is a fast single-image 3D reconstructor with intermediate point cloud generation, which allows for interactive user edits and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

To measure the contrast ratio you will need a light meter. The process starts with you measuring the main source of light, or the key light.
Get a reading from the brightest area on the face of your subject. Then, measure the area lit by the secondary light, or fill light. To make sense of what you have just measured you have to understand that the information you have just gathered is in F-stops, a measure of light. With each additional F-stop, for example going one stop from f/1.4 to f/2.0, you create a doubling of light. The reverse is also true; moving one stop from f/8.0 to f/5.6 results in a halving of the light.
Since spending a lot of time recently with SDXL I’ve since made my way back to SD 1.5
While the models overall have less fidelity. There is just no comparing to the current motion models we have available for animatediff with 1.5 models.
To date this is one of my favorite pieces. Not because I think it’s even the best it can be. But because the workflow adjustments unlocked some very important ideas I can’t wait to try out.
