What is Heygem?
Heygem is an open-source digital human model launched by Silicon Intelligence, specifically designed for Windows systems. Leveraging advanced AI technology, Heygem can clone a digital human's appearance and voice in just 30 seconds using only 1 second of video or a single photo, and synthesize 4K ultra-high-definition video within 60 seconds. Heygem supports multi-language output, multiple expressions and actions, and achieves 100% lip-sync accuracy, maintaining highly realistic effects even in complex lighting or occluded scenarios. Operating entirely offline, Heygem ensures user privacy and supports deployment on low-configuration hardware, significantly lowering the barrier to entry. It provides an efficient and cost-effective digital human solution for content creation, live streaming, education, and more.
Key Features of Heygem
Instant Cloning: Clone a digital human's appearance and voice with just 1 second of video or a single photo. Complete cloning in 30 seconds and synthesize 4K ultra-high-definition video in 60 seconds.
Efficient Inference: Achieves an inference speed ratio of 1:0.5 and video rendering speed of 1:2.
High-Quality Output: Supports 4K ultra-high-definition video output at 32 frames per second, surpassing the Hollywood standard of 24 frames.
Multi-Language Support: Cloned digital humans support output in 8 languages, meeting global market demands.
Unlimited Cloning: Supports unlimited cloning of digital human appearances and voices, as well as unlimited video synthesis.
100% Lip-Sync Accuracy: Achieves highly realistic lip-sync matching even in complex lighting, occlusion, or side-angle scenarios.
Low Hardware Requirements: Supports one-click Docker deployment and can run on hardware as low as an NVIDIA 1080Ti graphics card.
Technical Principles of Heygem
Voice Cloning Technology: Based on advanced AI, this technology generates voices similar to or identical to a given sample, capturing context, tone, and speech rate.
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR): Converts human speech into computer-readable input, enabling computers to "understand" spoken words.
Computer Vision Technology: Used for visual processing in video synthesis, including facial recognition and lip-sync analysis, ensuring the virtual character's lip movements match the audio and text content.
