Tencent Launches HunyuanPortrait, an Open-Source AI Model for Animating Portraits

Tencent released a new artificial intelligence (AI) model on Tuesday that can animate still portrait images. Dubbed HunyuanPortrait, the large language model (LLM) is based on the diffusion architecture, and can generate videos with realistic animation based on a reference image and a guiding video. The researchers behind the project highlighted that the model can capture both facial data and spatial movements to accurately sync them into the reference image.
