Overview

CWM-1 Lite is specifically designed for the needs of consumer apps:
  • Low-cost
  • High volume
  • Ultra-low latency
  • Instant character creation from 1 photo
  • Built-in emotion engine
  • Programmable actions
CWM-1 Lite is a less powerful avatar model. In exchange, it offers a significantly lower price per minute (as low as $0.039/min), making it a strong fit for high-volume consumer products where at-scale costs matter most.
CWM-1 Lite is available to users on Ultra and Enterprise tiers. See pricing.

​
Examples

Although CWM-1 Lite is less capable than the Standard model, it still has great performance in many domains. We recommend using CWM-1 Lite with stylized characters (3D-style like in Pixar movies or 2D cartoons, like in manga). If using photorealistic characters, zoom in closely to the face. Here are example outputs of CWM-1 Lite:

Usage

Set the optional model parameter to "cwm-1-lite" when starting a session. The only supported aspect_ratio is "2x3". CWM-1 Lite is lower resolution than CWM-1.
See Emotion Engine for more on CWM-1 Lite’s emotion engine, including programmable actions and emotions.

Framing and image tips

For best results when using CWM-1 Lite:
  • Use a stylized image, such as 3D cartoon, anime style, ghibli, etc.
  • If using a photorealistic image, use tight face crops
  • Minimize deadspace above the character’s head
