version_animals = "_v1.1" # new (v1.1) version - Liveportrait

We’re thrilled that cats 🐱 are now speaking and singing across the internet! 🎶

In this update, we’ve improved the Animals model with more data. While you might notice only a slight improvement for cats (if at all 😼), dogs have gotten a slightly better upgrade. For example, the model is now better at recognizing their mouths instead of mistaking them for noses. 🐶

<table class="center" style="width: 80%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> <tr> <td style="text-align: center"><b>Before vs. After (v1.1)</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: none; text-align: center;"> <video controls loop src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/59fc09b9-6cb7-4265-833f-eebb27ed9511" muted="false" style="width: 60%;"></video> </td> </tr> </table>

The new version (v1.1) Animals Model has been updated on HuggingFace. The new version is enabled by default.

[!IMPORTANT] Note: Make sure to update your weights to use the new version.

If you prefer to use the original version, simply modify the configuration in inference_config.py

python

version_animals = "" # old version
# version_animals = "_v1.1" # new (v1.1) version
