  • Anime4K

    A High-Quality Real Time Upscaler for Anime Video

  • Personally, it's not really any better than mpv filters like NIS [0] (Nvidia Image Scaling, which does not use AI but is somehow more sharp than these filters) as well as Anime4k [1] (which does use AI but only in the training phase to create the initial glsl file which then does not use AI inferencing but plain old image filters).

    Combine mpv with its yt-dlp [2] and SponsorBlock support [3] and you have a competent way to upscale your own YouTube (and other types of [4]) videos.
