Video Demo
2 Minute Explainer Video
Maybe this can be Topaz’s next Model after Starlight.
From that tech demo video, It looks like TVAI can already do the same or better. It doesn’t seem worth the money and effort to me for Topaz Labs to integrate this.
This seems more suited for the Alternatives to Topaz Video AI topic, but I see that that wasn’t an acceptable topic for Topaz.
In the demo video they do compare this to STAR which I believe is the basis for Starlight. They mention in the explainer video that it runs 12x to 20x faster than existing methods. Seeing how slow Starlight Mini currently is this may be better alternative.
If you are right about the speed and it can be 12x+ faster than starlight, then that would be awesome. I’d even be willing to take a slight hit on quality, since starlight is already so far ahead of alternatives (at least ones that don’t cost $10k or more anyways). of course anything more than a slight hit and it becomes not worth it again.
