A distilled version of the LivePortrait model has been developed, significantly improving its performance for real-time applications. This new version can generate frames at 25 frames per second directly within a web browser, a substantial leap from the original ONNX version which took 30 seconds per frame. While the distilled model's quality is currently described as "just ok" and varies depending on the portrait, it represents a promising step towards more accessible and efficient AI-powered facial animation.
