HunyuanImage-3.0
A Powerful Native Multimodal Model for Image Generation
HunyuanImage-3.0 is a powerful, native multimodal text-to-image generation model released by Tencent’s Hunyuan team. It unifies multimodal understanding and generation in a single autoregressive framework, combining text and image modalities seamlessly rather than relying on separate image-only diffusion components. It uses a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with many expert subnetworks to scale efficiently, deploying only a subset of experts per token, which allows large parameter counts without linear inference cost explosion. The model is intended to be competitive with closed-source image generation systems, aiming for high fidelity, prompt adherence, fine detail, and even “world knowledge” reasoning (i.e. leveraging context, semantics, or common sense in generation). The GitHub repo includes code, scripts, model loading instructions, inference utilities, prompt handling, and integration with standard ML tooling (e.g. Hugging Face / Transformers). -

Z-Image
Image generation model with single-stream diffusion transformer
Z-Image is an efficient, open-source image generation foundation model built to make high-quality image synthesis more accessible. With just 6 billion parameters — far fewer than many large-scale models — it uses a novel “single-stream diffusion Transformer” architecture to deliver photorealistic image generation, demonstrating that excellence does not always require extremely large model sizes. The project includes several variants: Z-Image-Turbo, a distilled version optimized for speed and low resource consumption; Z-Image-Base, the full-capacity foundation model; and Z-Image-Edit, fine-tuned for image editing tasks. Despite its compact size, Z-Image produces outputs that closely rival those from much larger models — including strong rendering of bilingual (English and Chinese) text inside images, accurate prompt adherence, and good layout and composition. -

Deep Exemplar-based Video Colorization
The source code of CVPR 2019 paper "Deep Exemplar-based Colorization"
The source code of CVPR 2019 paper "Deep Exemplar-based Video Colorization". End-to-end network for exemplar-based video colorization. The main challenge is to achieve temporal consistency while remaining faithful to the reference style. To address this issue, we introduce a recurrent framework that unifies the semantic correspondence and color propagation steps. Both steps allow a provided reference image to guide the colorization of every frame, thus reducing accumulated propagation errors. Video frames are colorized in sequence based on the colorization history, and its coherency is further enforced by the temporal consistency loss. All of these components, learned end-to-end, help produce realistic videos with good temporal stability. Experiments show our result is superior to the state-of-the-art methods both quantitatively and qualitatively. In order to colorize your own video, it requires to extract the video frames, and provide a reference image as an example. -

Satori
Enlightened library to convert HTML and CSS to SVG
Enlightened library to convert HTML and CSS to SVG. Satori supports the JSX syntax, which makes it very straightforward to use. Satori will render the element into a 600×400 SVG, and return the SVG string. Under the hood, it handles layout calculation, font, typography and more, to generate a SVG that matches the exact same HTML and CSS in a browser. Satori only accepts JSX elements that are pure and stateless. You can use a subset of HTML elements (see section below), or custom React components, but React APIs such as useState, useEffect, dangerouslySetInnerHTML are not supported. Satori supports a limited subset of HTML and CSS features, due to its special use cases. In general, only these static and visible elements and properties that are implemented. Also, Satori does not guarantee that the SVG will 100% match the browser-rendered HTML output since Satori implements its own layout engine based on the SVG 1.1 spec.
