LeapTalk streams talking heads at 200 FPS with one-step distillation
Researchers just introduced LeapTalk, a framework designed to conquer the latency-quality trade-off in talking-head generation. By using Brownian bridge transport and heterogeneous distillation into a single forward step, it outputs lip-synced video at up to 200 FPS from one reference photo and audio, completely avoiding identity drift across long streams.
