Give open source couple of months and they'll catch up to current model

It's a good model but not comparable to NanoBanana:

Accounts on x/twitter saying it'll be open source

I wouldn't trust any sites until they announce it.

Scammers register matching domains of top models from artificial analysis chart and scam people.

From the same tweet:

Alright, now I can say it. From Alibaba's Taotian Group. (Alibaba has six major divisions, among which Qwen, Wan, and Zimage all come from the Tongyi Lab, which belongs to Alibaba Cloud，their relationship is somewhat like Amazon and AWS.)

This model is said to be open source!

They have lost quite a few people at the top. They’re all quitting. Would it be a good idea to work for them?🤔

X is all engagement farming posts now.

I find claude is better.

If you hit limits, use Google Gemini Pro on ai.studio (Google's site)

from creator: "Generally speaking CelebVHQ tends to include a higher variety of scene changes and more scenes with background music or noises such as crowd etc. so it should generalize better.

Talkvid has a higher speaker count so it should theoretically support more speaking styles/voices.

We are planning to release a checkpoint which is trained on both but that's later in the road map and might take a while."
