A major breakthrough has emerged in the AI video field — Vidu Q1 video model, launched by Shengshu Technology, officially released the Reference Generation feature, offering a revolutionary experience where video material can be generated from imagination in one step, redefining the technical boundaries and production efficiency of content creation. In traditional video production processes, creators have to go through complex steps such as script writing, character design, storyboard drawing, real scene shooting, and post-production editing, and the creation of a short film often takes several weeks or even months. The release of the Reference Generation feature in Vidu Q1 has completely broken this established model. Users

PolyU & OPPO developed DLoRAL, a video super-resolution framework using dual LoRA: CLoRA for temporal consistency and DLoRA for spatial details. Its two-stage training balances quality and speed (10× faster inference), with open-source code/models available. Limited in tiny text recovery but promising for real-time applications.....

Hong Kong Polytechnic University and OPPO Research Institute jointly released the open-source video super-resolution framework DLoRAL, which generates high-definition videos in one step using diffusion models. The framework adopts a dual LoRA architecture: C-LoRA maintains temporal consistency between frames, while D-LoRA enhances spatial details. Through a two-stage training strategy, it optimizes temporal coherence and high-frequency information. Compared to traditional methods, DLoRAL improves inference speed by 10 times while maintaining smoothness, significantly enhancing image details, and providing an efficient open-source solution for video HD enhancement.
