The company Alibaba presented the Live Avatar technology for creating interactive avatars in real-time. It is based on a diffusion AI model with 14 billion parameters and supports streaming video generation at 20 frames per second. Live Avatar requires five H800 graphics processors, which provide four-stage sampling.
Users can interact with avatars through microphones and cameras, communicating in real-time. Possible use cases include live online broadcasts, interactive games, educational platforms, and the creation of virtual companions.
The streaming feature allows Live Avatar to be used for various types of interactive videos and communication. The technology opens up new possibilities for creating personalized experiences online.
Currently, powerful equipment is required to launch Live Avatar, but Alibaba plans further optimization. The project is available on GitHub for developers who want to try the new technology.
