- "We can't let anyone know how we made this, think of all the damage it could cause"
- The progress of the Animatediff community over the past 10 months has been miraculous - see attached! Now, closed startups like Krea are taking the fruits of all this effort - so I'd like to tell the story of how we got here & what people who believe in open source can do.
00:00 - $20/month for 8 hrs of A100s/day is a probably the best deal in AI right now if youโre a hardcore Comfy user:๐ฉ๏ธ Comfy Cloud is now in Public Beta! No more waitlist. Zero setup.

00:00 - Wan 2.2 has been out for just 4 hours & its repercussions for our species are still barely understood. We are unprepared. We'll back on our way of life in the pre-Wan 2.2 era & be perplexed & even disgusted by it. May god have mercy on our souls. (credit: JohnDopamine)
00:00 - One of these is the product of a Silicon Valley startup that's raised over $55m in funding. The other is the product of 7 months of a ragtag group of nerds around the world hacking on top of an open source model released from researchers at a Chinese university.
