Nice summary! I missed the mention of EQ-VAE when it comes to generation quality. Tiny trick, huge impact! Have you tried it?
Hi HN, I’m one of the two authors of the post and the Linum v2 text-to-video model (
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46721488). We're releasing our Image-Video VAE (open weights) and a deep dive on how we built it. Happy to answer questions about the work!
This seems like a great model to experiment fine tuning with original art, given it’s relatively small and with open license. Is that a fair assessment?
Thanks for the great write up and making it available to us all.
