Create a Prediction
Send a POST request to create a new prediction. This will return a prediction ID that you'll use to check the result. The request should include your model inputs and API key.
Get Prediction Result
Poll the prediction endpoint with the prediction ID until the result is ready. The API uses long-polling, so you'll need to repeatedly check until you receive a success status.
Overview
Stable-avatar is an advanced end-to-end video diffusion transformer model designed to generate infinite, high-quality, audio-driven avatar videos without requiring any post-processing. Developed by a team of AI researchers specializing in generative video and avatar synthesis, stable-avatar leverages state-of-the-art diffusion and transformer architectures to synchronize facial animation, lip movement, and expressive gestures directly from audio input. The model is positioned at the intersection of generative AI and digital human technology, aiming to deliver seamless, realistic avatar videos for a wide range of applications.
Key features include the ability to generate continuous, lifelike video streams of digital avatars that respond naturally to audio cues, supporting nuanced facial expressions and synchronized speech. Unlike traditional avatar generators that rely on pre-rendered assets or require manual post-editing, stable-avatar produces fully rendered video in a single pass, significantly reducing production time and complexity. Its unique architecture allows for real-time or near-real-time generation, making it suitable for interactive applications, live streaming, and scalable content creation.
The underlying technology combines a video diffusion model—capable of generating temporally consistent video frames—with a transformer-based sequence model that aligns audio features to visual outputs. This integration enables stable-avatar to capture subtle emotional cues, maintain identity consistency across frames, and adapt to diverse audio inputs, setting it apart from earlier GAN-based or frame-by-frame animation approaches.
Technical Specifications
- Architecture: Video Diffusion Transformer (combining diffusion models for video generation with transformer-based audio-visual alignment)
- Parameters: Not publicly specified (typical models in this class range from hundreds of millions to several billion parameters)
- Resolution: Supports high-definition outputs, commonly up to 1080p; some user reports mention flexible resolution settings depending on hardware
- Input/Output formats:
- Input: Audio (WAV, MP3), optional reference images (JPG, PNG)
- Output: Video (MP4, MOV), image sequences (PNG, JPG)
- Performance metrics:
- Latency per frame: Reported as low as 0.2–0.5 seconds per frame on modern GPUs
- Shot-to-shot consistency: High, with minimal jitter or frame drift
- Audio-visual sync accuracy: Sub-frame precision in lip sync (user benchmarks report >95% accuracy)
Key Considerations
- Ensure high-quality, clean audio input for best lip sync and expression accuracy
- Reference images should be well-lit, high-resolution, and front-facing for optimal avatar fidelity
- Model performance scales with GPU resources; higher-end hardware yields faster generation and higher resolutions
- For long-form videos, monitor for subtle drift in facial consistency and periodically refresh reference images if needed
- Prompt engineering (e.g., specifying emotion, tone, or gesture style) can significantly influence output realism
- Balancing quality and speed: higher sampling steps improve video quality but increase generation time
- Avoid overfitting to a single avatar style; diversify reference data for more expressive results
Tips & Tricks
- Use audio clips with clear enunciation and minimal background noise for best results
- When generating avatars for multiple speakers, provide distinct reference images and segment audio accordingly
- To achieve specific emotional expressions, annotate audio input with emotion tags or provide example gestures
- For iterative refinement, generate short video segments first, review for artifacts, and adjust parameters before full-length generation
- Experiment with sampling steps and denoising strength to balance realism and generation speed
- Advanced: Combine multiple reference images to create hybrid avatars or interpolate between expressions
Capabilities
- Generates high-fidelity, audio-driven avatar videos with synchronized lip movement and facial expressions
- Supports continuous, infinite video generation without manual post-processing
- Maintains strong temporal consistency across frames, minimizing jitter and visual artifacts
- Adapts to diverse audio inputs, including different languages, accents, and speaking styles
- Capable of nuanced emotional expression and gesture synthesis based on audio cues
- Scalable for both real-time and batch video generation workflows
What Can I Use It For?
- Professional video production: Automated creation of explainer videos, tutorials, and virtual presenters
- Creative projects: Animated storytelling, music videos, and digital performances using custom avatars
- Business applications: Customer support avatars, onboarding guides, and interactive training modules
- Personal projects: Social media content, personalized video messages, and digital identity creation
- Industry-specific: Virtual influencers for marketing, educational avatars for e-learning, and digital twins for simulation and research
Things to Be Aware Of
- Some users report occasional uncanny valley effects if reference images are low quality or poorly aligned
- Long-duration videos may exhibit minor drift in facial features; periodic re-initialization can help
- High-quality outputs require substantial GPU resources; performance may degrade on consumer hardware
- Community feedback highlights strong lip sync and expression accuracy, with positive reviews for ease of use and output realism
- Negative feedback centers on rare artifacts in extreme head poses or rapid speech segments
- Experimental features such as gesture control and multi-avatar scenes are under active development and may be unstable
- Consistency is generally high, but edge cases (e.g., overlapping speech, non-standard accents) may challenge the model
Limitations
- Requires significant computational resources for high-resolution, real-time generation
- May struggle with highly dynamic head movements or non-standard audio inputs
- Not optimal for scenarios demanding photorealistic body animation or full-scene synthesis beyond facial avatars
