    Karya adds ByteDance’s OmniHuman 2.0 for photo-and-voice avatars

    Karya Studio says its Lip Sync tab now offers ByteDance’s OmniHuman 2.0 model. A creator can pair one portrait with four seconds to five minutes of recorded audio for a 720p talking-avatar clip. Karya lists roughly 12 credits per audio second, with final credit use based on output length. The model is made by ByteDance; this is availability through Karya, subject to likeness and voice rights.
