Apply for community grant: Academic project (gpu)

The aim of our project, AvatarArtist: Open-Domain 4D Avatarization, is to transform an open-domain input portrait into a 4D digital avatar with high fidelity, temporal consistency, and expressive appearance. This is the official implementation of our CVPR 2025 paper.

Unlike previous 4D avatarization methods, AvatarArtist: Open-Domain 4D Avatarization supports diverse and stylized avatar renderings, including Lego, Ghibli-inspired, and 3D cartoon styles, enabling a new level of creativity in 4D avatar generation.

We are eager to showcase our progress to the public and provide an interactive demo for the AIGC community.

However, AvatarArtist: Open-Domain 4D Avatarization cannot run on CPU-only devices, due to the high computational demands of diffusion-based 4D generation and motion-aware rendering. GPU acceleration is required to execute the inference pipeline. Without GPU support, the system fails to run effectively, making it impossible to provide a usable demo experience.

Therefore, we would like to apply for a community GPU grant to enable public access to our system and allow users in the community to try out AvatarArtist interactively.

Hi @KumaPower , we have assigned t4-medium to this Space for now as this Space was using it. But it would be great if this Space can run on ZeroGPU. Could you take a look at the docs and see if your Space can run on it?

Hi @hysts ,
Our demo is running smoothly without a GPU. You can safely switch the GPU to Zero.

Thank you very much for your generous sponsorship โ€” we really appreciate it!

@KumaPower Awesome! Thanks for migrating to ZeroGPU!
