its wild this is like a 1:1 rip off of hedra...

"As far as we know, this is the first time someone has trained a video diffusion transformer that’s driven by audio input" did you google?

We are big fans of Hedra. Do you know if they've publicly commented on their model architecture? As far as we know, our particular choice of an end-to-end diffusion + transformer is novel.

We don't know what Hedra is doing. It could be the approach EMO has taken (https://humanaigc.github.io/emote-portrait-alive/) or VASA (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vasa-1/) or Loopy Avatar (https://loopyavatar.github.io/) or something else.

Michael from Hedra, your choice is not novel :)

One of Hedra job offers for ML role lists "diffusion transformers".

you could have at least made the ui different or picked different examples. pretty blatant rip.

How convenient that new user ‘jenintogen’ replied to new user ‘genaiguy’’s mentioning Hedra by asking for a link, giving you an opportunity to organically reply with the URL of your service.

Looks like there’s an enthusiastic marketplace of real grassroots users.
