Chen-Ping Yu launches Atmee v2, a real-time avatar model from one image

Chen-Ping Yu, whose augmented-reality navigation startup Phiar was acquired by Google in 2022, launched Atmee v2 in early access on November 4th, a real-time avatar model for live video agents that Yu claims renders character video 50x faster from a single image on a single GPU. Yu announced the release in a thread on X, framing text and voice as workable but incomplete interfaces and face-to-face conversation as the next step. If Atmanity's single-GPU rendering holds up, it could lower the per-minute cost of face-to-face AI agents for support, tutoring and coaching products.
