We install and run the generators ourselves — from 3D models and video to sound effects. We write down how much VRAM each needs, what runs on CUDA and what works on Apple MPS and AMD ROCm, which is open source and which is a cloud subscription.
We read visitors’ search queries and write about them — ask right here.

LichtFeld-Studio releases SAM 2.1 Hiera base+ video weights in lfw format
On October 28, 2026, a release with SAM 2.1 Hiera base+ video weights was published in the LichtFeld-Studio repository. This is a permanent model asset, not an…
Fresh arXiv papers and model releases — briefly, with a note on what you can already run yourself.
From points to a model
This is how every 3D generator works: first a point cloud, then a surface, then materials. Click and we show it step by step. The page stays light when opened: the frames load only when you ask.
The frames load only now, not when the page opens. They are AI-generated illustrations — a real viewer will appear when our “3D from a picture” tool goes live.
