No need to regenerate. Just upscale! P-Video-Upscale takes your videos up to 4K, preserves the original aspect ratio and audio, and boosts frame rates up to 60 FPS. All at impressive speed and launch pricing starting at just $0.01/s. Big upgrade for AI video creators! @PrunaAI

Upscaling videos is finally cheap. And of course, itโ€™s already on @TellersAI . Congrats @PrunaAI! ๐ŸŽ‰ This entire video was made with one prompt in Tellers: generation, titles, upscaling, masking, compositing, VFX, and voice.

P-Q-Image-2.1 brings Qwen-Image-2.1 generation and editing down to six steps, with no CFG and up to 6.3ร— faster generation. ๐Ÿค– modelscope.ai/models/PrunaAIโ€ฆ โšก Six steps, same workflow: The v0.2 LoRA adapters run on top of Qwen-Image-2.1 while keeping its base pipeline, text encoder, and VAE unchanged. ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Generate or edit: Use one adapter for text-to-image generation and single- or multi-image editing, with up to three reference images. โœจ Skip the separate prompt-upscaling pass: The 6-steps-upsampled variant incorporates prompt-upscaling benefits into the adapter, reducing end-to-end generation time from a short prompt. ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ Choose the trade-off: Use 6-steps for behavior closer to the base model, or 6-steps-upsampled when prioritizing visual quality from concise prompts. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Built for the Qwen stack: Start at 1024 ร— 1024 and use the matching six-step schedule.

Talking-avatar videos are getting faster and more affordable. According to @PrunaAI benchmark, P-Video-2-Pro-Avatar ranked #1 in overall human evaluation at 768p, runs up to 3ร— faster, and costs 7ร— less at 480p. Starting at $0.02 per second. Ideal for UGC, ads, and music videos.
P-Video-2-Pro-Avatar is #1 in overall human ratings, at a fraction of the cost and in seconds. - Quality: #1 of 10 models at 768p - Cost: 7ร— cheaper, just $0.02/s vs $0.14/s at 480p - Speed: 3ร— faster, just ~9.7s for a 10s clip at 480p - # 1 for music videos at 768p and #2 at 480p Across both Quality ร— Price and Quality ร— Speed, P-Video-2-Pro-Avatar stands out in the high-quality, low-cost, fast-generation region.

Weโ€™re open-sourcing more distillation work, this time including prompt upsampling distillation. ๐Ÿš€ End to end, from the raw prompt to the final image: 51s โ†’ 1.2s i.e. ~42ร— faster Prompt upsampling used to be the bottleneck. Not anymore.
Today, we open-source v0.2 of P-Q-Image-2.1, two new 6-step LoRA adapters for Qwen-Image-2.1 by @Alibaba_Qwen. The first distillation that removes the prompt-upsampling step! - ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜? Generate or edit images in just 6 steps instead of 40.

This means 41 to 80 seconds saved, depending on your prompt style. - ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ? The LoRA adapters load directly on top of Qwen-Image-2.1, so the pipeline stays unchanged. Few-step distillation cuts the diffusion cost, and the upsampled adapter also removes the prompt-upsampling step before image generation. ๐Ÿค— Open Weights: huggingface.co/PrunaAI/P-Q-Iโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘‰ HF Space: huggingface.co/spaces/PrunaAโ€ฆ
