Most advanced Microsoft State of the art AI model for human video
Vasa-1 paper dropped and it is fairly complex. https://lnkd.in/dKCvZmix
Using LLM and diffusion models to create real-time Speaking avatar with high levels of emotional context and visual representations of human characteristics in HD quality.
The unfortunate part is that Mivcrosoft is holding out and will not be releasing this code publicly.
A shout out to my friend Phillip of AI Explained for producing this:

So, Let’s get into it.
The significance of VASA-1 lies in its potential applications across various sectors. In multimedia and communication, it can transform digital experiences, making virtual interactions nearly indistinguishable from real face-to-face conversations. Its implications extend to education, where it could serve as a tool for more engaging and personalized learning experiences, and healthcare, where it could provide support and companionship with a human touch.

Moreover, VASA-1 operates efficiently in real-time, capable of delivering high-resolution videos at 40 frames per second, which is crucial for integration into live applications such as video calls and virtual reality.

When given these abilities, the psychological results will be strength, power, fear, and interest.
Hardly any company on Earth would refuse to replace a marketing employee, teacher, or another intelligent actor with this machine.

We will see advanced machines specifically tied to speaking avatars that could be unique to each machine.

What are your use cases?
Glad to discuss.
