Hello, Phoenix-2! Meet our new and improved replica model, it’s faster and more realistic.
With our upgraded model comes a slick new interface.
Model improvements include:
⌛ Create replicas in half the time
🏖️ Automatic stabilization of the background in training
🚀 Exciting news for our developer customers!
We're launching Bring Your Own Audio (BYOA) on all plans for our Replica API. Now, you can use any audio source to generate videos, giving you complete control over the video creation process. 🎤🎥
🌟 Why's it cool?🌟
