chatcraft.org VS awesome-talking-head-generation

My https://chatcraft.org offers free models and is open source. They start throttling under heavier usage tho.

Gonna add some free models with search in future

This week, I came across an interesting problem while working on an issue in ChatCraft.

This has been a true privilege working on a cool project with a great team, and under an exceptional mentor.

Finally, Its the last week of semester and we had our last class of Open Source Development Project with David Humphrey. I would like to thank David for being my professor and mentor. I've taken 30 courses in Seneca and I would like to say that the three courses by David Humphrey were the one in which I learnt the most, i.e two open source courses which enhanced my github profile, gained confidence in git skills. Also before the courses ,I always wanted to contribute in Open Source but had no idea where to start from. I would also like to thank Taras Glek for giving me an opportunity to work on ChatCraft.org. Working on ChatCraft has been the biggest project I've ever worked on till date.

This week we met with Taras, the founder of ChatCraft online to showcase our contributions and get some professional advice from him. It was very rewarding to see what we managed to get done in the span of four months with our small team of six!

This semester has been a whirlwind of coding, collaboration, and learning as I dove headfirst into the world of open source development with ChatCraft. My journey was marked by significant contributions, including 14 pull requests (PRs), the development of 4 major features, and the squashing of numerous bugs. Here's a closer look at what I've accomplished and the invaluable lessons I've learned along the way.

PR 580 Merged

That's right. The BIG 2.0 release for ChatCraft is scheduled by the end of next week. We have been working to build on ChatCraft's existing functionality in its v1.0 state for almost 13 weeks now, and have successfully added lots of cool features (even this post's cover photo is generated by ChatCraft).

This week on ChatCraft, I fixed a few bugs I found in production that have arisen since the new custom provider feature was implemented. I was able to find these bugs because I reviewed many PRs this week and during testing those PRs I was able to see some abnormal behaviour.

ChatCraft Release 1.9 is available here

I assume it's a SOTA version of "talking head generation" or something related.

As soon as they release the API, we can build an AI "bartender". Combine the voice output and input with NeRF talking heads such as from Diarupt or https://github.com/harlanhong/awesome-talking-head-generatio....

You will now be able to feed it images and responses of the customers. Give it a function to call complementaryDrink(customerId)
