Animate Anyone - A framework for image-to-video character animation compositing launched by Alibaba.

Animate Anyone, developed by Alibaba Research Institute of Intelligent Computing, is an open-source framework that animates characters or figures in static images. It has garnered nearly 13,000 stars on GitHub and sparked heated discussions both domestically and internationally. Building upon a diffusion model, the framework incorporates technologies such as ReferenceNet, Pose Guider, and a timing generation module to maintain consistency, controllability, and stability when photos are animated, outputting high-quality dynamic videos. The "Tongyi Dance King" feature in Alibaba's AI chat assistant, Tongyi Qianwen, is based on this technology, allowing people/figures in photos to perform various dances, including driving tests, shoulder-shaking dances, and ghost dances.
